WHY YOUR THINKING IS THE BEGINNING & THE END OF SUFFERING
We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change. No matter who you are, where you are from, what your background is, what you have done and haven’t done, what status or wealth you do or don’t have, Martian or not, you can find total peace, joy, love, complete fulfillment, and abundance of happiness in your life! YOU ARE NOT THE EXCEPTION !! let that sink in YOU ARE NOT THE EXCEPTION!
An open mind and a willing heart are all you need to receive every answer you’ve been looking for! The truth lies within everyone and in everything. Look beyond words to see the truth for yourself. Truth cannot be intellectualized, it can only be experienced. The truth lies within a feeling, which is why it cannot be formulated into a word. Many who discover the truth will describe the feeling as one of complete peace, unconditional love, and an overwhelming amount of joy.
The most familiar unfamiliar feeling. .It feels like you are finally home. THE TRUTH IS ALWAYS SIMPLE! Look for simplicity if you want to find the truth. And a truth is that suffering is optional. Our thinking is causing suffering, not our thoughts, but thinking around our thoughts. So we need to understand how our minds work and how the human species is created.
BUDDHA says that anytime we experience a negative event in our lives, two arrows fly our way. Being physically struck by an arrow is painful. Being struck by a second emotional arrow is even more painful ( suffering ). Buddha explains “In life, we can’t always control the first arrow. However, the second arrow is our reaction to the first, The second arrow is optional”
We live in a world of thoughts, not reality. THOUGHT is not reality, yet it is through thought that our realities are created. Each of us lives through our own perception of the world, which is vastly different from the person right next to us! The meaning –thinking–we give an event is what determines how we ultimately feel about it. That meaning or thinking is the filter through which we see life from on –because of this, we live through a perception of reality, not in reality itself. Reality is that the event happened, with no meaning, thinking, or interpretation of it !! It’s not about the events that happen in our lives, but our interpretation of them, which causes us to feel good or bad about something!!
Our feelings do not come from external events but from our own thinking about the event! The root cause of our suffering is our own THINKING!
NOW………..I am saying that our perception of reality is very real! We will feel what we think, and our feelings are real; this is completely undeniable. However, our thinking will look like inevitable. unchangeable reality to us until we begin seeing how our reality is created.
WE CAN CHANGE OUR FEELINGS BY CHANGING OUR THINKING If we know that we can change our feelings by changing our thinking then we can change our experience of life by knowing that it comes from our own thinking so WE are only one thought away from experiencing something different and transforming our entire lives at any moment through a state of NO THOUGHT
THE MOMENT WE STOP THINKING IS WHEN OUR HAPPINESS BEGINS
DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU THINK
