Just Thoughts!

โ€ข78 Replies

Be a witness with detached manner. Observe the constant stream of thoughts. Feel nothing about them, good or bad. Form no opinions about them, favorable or unfavorable. Just watch. Thus, by silent choiceless observation, the traffic of thoughts slows down; and finally, a state of thoughtless bliss is achieved! ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ˜‡โ˜ฎ๏ธ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒธโค๏ธ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ•‰๐Ÿ™

Thank you so much, GreatMindfulness! I really love that Osho quote! Where can I read some of your Osho inspired poems?! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ˜€๐ŸŒˆ

โ€ข in reply toMidnightBriarRose

Youโ€™re very welcomed. Iโ€™m looking forward to your poems in very near future. You can log onto Osho.com and sign up for free. There are many topics. His teaching is about peace, love and joy. You can also watch his videos made back in the day in the 80s on YouTube. The man was always full of laughters โค๏ธโ˜ฎ๏ธ๐Ÿ™

Yes Alicia, Iโ€™ve always been enjoying the essence of Osho. His teaching is completely different than others, just one simple thing: raising self-awareness to relax into joy. โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธxxx

When you read something like this it makes you stop and think which is very good. We all need to slow down at bit and think long and hard which result in less stress and more thought and relaxation xxx๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ xxx

โ€ข in reply to

That is very true Alicia. A clouded mind is a troubled mind. We all need to take our time to process things without unnecessary additional stress xxxโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธxxx

I agree with you 100%. Don't rush around, deep breathing and meditation, that's the key xxx๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ

that sounds like an ideal goal! what a wonderous thought.... but shall i let THAT thought pass unnoticed also !??!?!??? :-) :D :o)

โ€ข in reply to13ga

Thatโ€™s what you get from this quote? โ€œUnnoticedโ€? You are the master of the house, you acknowledge your guests, you treat them kindly but you donโ€™t identify yourself with them! That is the enlightenment. What would you do with muddy water? Do you stir it up or leave it alone until it settles to a clear water? You donโ€™t suppress your thoughts and you donโ€™t disturb yourself with them either. You can be at peace while you can bring yourself back to your clarity.

wise words, K !!

but i was really playing w/ you!

tho - i must say - depending on my mood - and on the nature of the muddy water - i might choose to stir it - for entertainment purposes !!!!! :D

.

also - i don't need to disturb myself with my thoughts.... i was plenty disturbed to begin with !!!! :D :D :D

โ€ข in reply to13ga
