Thoughts think us - Eckhart Tolle
In Eckhart Tolle’s excellent
session “Addiction to Suffering” he explained an idea with the phrase “Thoughts
think us”, expressing the fact that when we are often completely identifying
with our thoughts, not leaving space. So beautiful. -- 11/8/2012 5:48:23 AM: post edited by Metamorpheus.

Re: Thoughts think us
I’ve seen some of Eckhart Tolle’s videos. He’s simply amazing. .. always thinking, always worrying, too much with our thoughts. The minute we manage to take a step back we can see that things aren’t necessarily as bad as they seem.

He also speaks about a certain connectedness he calls
presence, the transformation and development out of disaster, and being
conscious to “space”

Toll introduces the concept of “compulsive thinking” – we think/worry
too much. No “space”.

Re: Thoughts think us - Eckhart Tolle
“Look without analytical interference through the mind. That will bring the intelligence that will deal with the situation, whatever form that will take.”
In order for that to happen you must surrender to the moment. Even the slightest resistance will damage the ability to simply give attention and look.
When thoughts come try not to take them too seriously. “Your thoughts want to be taken seriously and pretend they matter absolutely”, though that’s true. “no thought matter absolutely or contain the absolute truth”.
