Thought 16: You go wherever your mind takes you


You are always associated with your mind. Wherever your mind goes, you also go with it. Because of this, you may be tempted to assume that you are the mind. You are not your mind – you are the awareness vivifying your mind. Mind gains consciousness because of the presence of awareness in it.

Mind is where happiness and sorrow reside. Mind is a medium for the flow of thoughts. Happiness is a thought. Sorrow is also a thought. You are not your thoughts. You are the awareness over which these thoughts ride piggy-back.

You can always dissociate from any thought that you do not like. You can always dissociate your self from sorrow. Dissociation from sorrow is happiness.

Your mind is always talking. It is never silent. You are vaguely aware of this self talk. Self talk is registered in your subconscious mind. What is registered in your subconscious mind is what determines your nature. Curb the self talk, which is negative. Encourage the self talk which is positive. This is how you can become a positive person with high self esteem.

The next thought is about “How are the thoughts generated”
