Quotes about thinking
thinking views people
When people think about this religion, they'll say "voodoo" this and "voodoo" that in the way the Hollywood movies show it: the sticking of pins in dolls.

I want to differentiate it from the stereotypical, sensationalized view that we see of the religion. Edwidge Danticat

thinking space perception
When you continuously know and sense yourself as the space of consciousness rather than what appears in consciousness - sense perceptions, thoughts, emotions - then it can be said that you are enlightened... except that you wouldn't think or speak of yourself as 'enlightened', because that would instantly create another mind-based conceptual identity and so it would be the end of 'your' enlightenment.

The answer is, who you are cannot be defined through thinking or mental labels or definitions, because it's beyond that.

thinking tiny consciousness
Thinking is no more than a tiny aspect of the totality of consciousness, the totality of who you are.
thinking essence meditation
Instead of 'watching the thinker,' you can also create a gap in the mind stream simply by directing the focus of your attention into the Now. Just become intensely conscious of the present moment. This is a deeply satisfying thing to do. In this way, you draw consciousness away from mind activity and create a gap of no-mind in which you are highly alert and aware but not thinking. This is the essence of meditation.
thinking people mind
Your mind is an instrument, a tool. It is there to be used for a specific task, and when the task is completed, you lay it down. As it is, I would say about 80 to 90 percent of most people's thinking is not only repetitive and useless, but because of its dysfunctional and often negative nature, much of it is also harmful. Observe your mind and you will find this to be true. It causes a serious leakage of vital energy.

You are giving the other person space-space to be. It is the most precious gift you can give.
thinking want where-you-are
