Actually our mind exists only if thoughts exist. Our thoughts are mind. No thoughts, no mind. So if we can consciously stop our thoughts, we can see what is beyond thoughts, an area where generally no one ventures.
We feel powerless in front of our thoughts. What purpose thoughts are trying to achieve? They make us delude sometimes that worst thing is going to happen. They lead us into further thoughts, or actions. We have no reality check most of the time that what we are thinking could actually be the case. The thoughts are not organized at all to address a problem most of the time, nor they are logical. Context jumps happen very quickly, without us being aware of it. We may start at one thought and after only a series of thought trains end up at a thought totally unconnected to starting thought. It is mostly driven by how we are feeling at the moment. What part of thought touches us, appeals to us. It is such a series of complex shifts that we may not be able to remember what we were thinking 5 minutes ago.
Mind can be engaged in logical thought process at will, but on autopilot emotions driven thoughts rule.
I wonder what the source of thoughts is. We don’t start a thought, it comes by itself, and we just cannot be conscious of how thoughts arrive in the first place. Who is sending us so many thoughts non-stop? It seems we cannot control the source. But we can though strip thoughts of their power by just letting them go, and not getting affected by them. Therein lies the secret to getting beyond thoughts. It is a signal to the source that thoughts have no power so it stops them slowly until there is no thought. In that state you can see youself clearly, distinctly separate from your mind which is just a product of evolution, culture, conditionings. This realization can give you an enormous power!
