Thought is verbalized sensation; thought is the response of memory, the word, the experience, the image. Thought is transient, changing, impermanent, and it is seeking permanency. So thought creates the thinker, who then becomes the permanent; he assumes the role of the censor, the guide, the controller, the molder of thought. This illusory permanent entity is the product of thought, of the transient. This entity is thought; without thought he is not. The thinker is made up of qualities; his qualities cannot be separated from himself. The controller is the controlled, he is merely playing a deceptive game with himself. Till the false is seen as the false, truth is not.

Your thoug......oops , your point of view.

I get it , but many won't.
Everything has to be quantifiable to be understood . Not always .

Where is or who is the origin of thought? Who or what receives it and interprets it. In a holographic universe, who wrote the program that initiated the sequence of events we call reality? There really are no answers, just opinions based on false assumptions.

Show me Cliffy where I,m not correct when I say we are all one.
We are all individuals, part of a greater whole. Our individuality is, of course, a myth but it has been a part of our collective consciousness for thousands of years and as long as the majority of people buy into that lie, we are stuck in a reality, on a group consciousness level, that perpetuates the myth. Some have been able to see beyond that restrictive myth but as long as we reside in this "physical" reality we are subject to the reality of the masses.

It is the thought that creates the thinker who in turn becomes an "individual".That 'individual" is a" transient, changing, impermanent thought which is seeking permanency". Observe your self; the best source of learning .

Self-knowledge is not knowing oneself, but knowing every movement of thought. Because the self is the thought, the image, the image of China and the image of the `me.' So, watch every movement of thought, never letting one thought go without realizing what it is. Try it. Do it and you will see what takes place .

How about watching yourself think. How one thought leads to another.
The interesting ones are the ones that come out of nowhere 8O

yes china, the thoughts, oh the thoughts, I'm connected to them all day, and
if I wake up in the middle of the night, and cannot sleep, the thoughts that
roll through my brain become so many and move so fast. I relive many parts of
my/our life, and events that took place, and plans coming up, and new ideas,
finally my TV is my only escape, so that I can sleep again, there is a beautiful
channel on sattelite tv, new age instrumental, relaxing and enjoyable, and
sleep can come again.
