choices in creation of self

Every thought we have is a psychic reality, creating who we are.

But what about feelings?

I see "thought" and "feeling" as each anchoring a linear dimension of Information (thought__________feeling). Information flows through us and IS us all the time.

That toward the "thought" end decreases in feeling; that toward the feeling end decreases in thought. We are constantly forming with and by this In-form-ation.

We have the choice and the practice of entertaining (rewarding with our attention thus ensuring it stays around) some thought-feeling and ignoring (not entertaining) others. In this manner, we create ourselves.

  1. You are information regardless of whether you think or not. It's encoded in your DNA, RNA, and proteins. Mind is just an additional layer on top of the encoded information. Emotions are like thoughts without words conveyed via hormones and subconscious nerve firings. Most thoughts are noise in the cosmic background. Few are quality thoughts, and rarer still are the wordless epiphanies and insights that elevate us to our fullest potential and beyond.

  2. Rather than layers and hormones, I experience being part of a vast Energy Field with loving and wise inter-flow. Most of my thoughts arise from this realm.

  3. I think we are both advocating the cultivation of those rare thoughts that make us fully awakened humans and making said thoughts commonplace. The first step in any change is changing the quality of one's cognition or thinking. Spontaneous wakefulness is rather rare among humans.
