Fie for Thought
Hmmm. I came across this thing called the state of no thoughts. Its a teaching by some "Enlightened Master" from India from the teachings of the Shiva Sanskrit or something. It goes by the saying that if you're aware of what you're doing, you won't have thoughts going through your mind. Kinda hard to understand? Simply put, the teachings teach you to be fully aware of yourself and your surroundings. Sounds simple but logically misleading.I didn't really look through the training but I did saw a part of the Master was teaching regarding emotion suppression and expression. Emotions he was referring to are anger, sadness, hate, all the negative emotions. He said that it is because of our thoughts that our emotions arise and took control of ourselves. It is because we weren't aware of the thought that was coming to us that will make us negative.All this mambo-jambo won't make any sense at all if I were to explain it here. Try going to youtube and search for "LifeBlissFoundation" and you'll see some clips on the Master's speech.Why did I randomly talk about this thing? I decided to give it a try. So I wrote down every single unaware thoughts on a piece of paper for a day, from every event that happened that day till I'm on my bed falling asleep.And from that small experiment, I realised all this time I thought I was full of thoughts on everything around me. Meaning, when I walk, I'll take note of my posture, my footing and my breathing. If someone walk's pass me I'll notice the hair, the clothes, the posture, the facial expression, the sound of the person's walking, the smell. In a vehicle, I'll notice the engine, the tire's friction, the seats, the air-con blowing, the bumpy road, the music from my phone. While travelling in that vehicle, there are more things that I'll be aware of.But that awareness isn't complete if I'm not aware of myself. Knowing what you're gonna do, and knowing what your purpose is, only then one can be fully "awake" and aware.You guys try it out. Just spend a time or two to listen. This is not a religion. Its a knowledge, inner science. There are countless of scientists who are doing research on it, spanning from 10,000 years back. Its a way to a peaceful self. =]
