| "Thoughts themselves are harmless. The witnessing of a thought arising and disappearing is a blissful experience. All of your problems are created because you identify with the thought. The thought arises and instead of letting it go, you grab hold of it, you identify with it, you become involved with it. And this becomes not only your identity, but becomes your reality. If you think the world is out to get you, then everywhere you look, that will be your experience. One person may enjoy watching a bird fly over head and another person will scream and run for cover. It has nothing to do with the bird, but the identification with the thoughts arising. All of your problems can disappear simply by letting go of the thoughts arising. A thought arises, that is perfectly fine, and then you let it go. No repression, no reaction, no relating or defining. You just let it go. You let it disappear into the recycling bin with your other junk mail. Because in meditation, it's all junk mail. One thought is no better than the other. In this witnessing, you will experience thoughts in a completely different way. Thought arises in consciousness as consciousness and it burns away in consciousness, returning to stillness. All analyzing, judgement figuring it out is completely unnecessary, irrelevant, and annoying. You just let it all go as it arises. You live completely free of all of it. But because of attachment, you latch on to thoughts, you make them important. You are unwilling to let go of a feeling, an idea, a memory and then that becomes your world. You have to live that experience outwardly until that attachment to it is exhausted and you are willing to let it go. There is peace either way at the end. One is no better than the other. But the path of non-attachment is simply much quicker. What could take 50 years to journey may take less than a second to burn away in awareness if you are willing to let it go. One may want to remain in the dream and see where it leads. Another has had enough and wants to open their eyes, to live in unconditional peace. Either way is fine.
