thoughts are just another sense impression, mind-sounds and mind-pictures, there's no separation between any of itHm, so what is a thought? Are thoughts separate/different from the senses?
it was like realising that there couldnt be anything or anywhere else so this is all there is to see, and it alwasy was. i stopped looking for anything at all in particular and relaxed and the sense of anything being separate went away, noticing that the thoughts that labeled and separated were also just here and not apart from anythingCould you say more about what you experienced when the compulsive thoughts stalled out, and the obvious answer was already there?
yeah that's really the main change, it's more open and accepting and just easy to get along without creating a struggle. the stories about what the people around me were thinking and doing and their motiviations and what kind of person that means they are and how i have to respond to that were just thoughts believed to be true, i dont actually know any of that stuff. the reactions i'd have to people were never about them or what they did, i was reacting to my own beliefs about them. letting people be are as they are without believing i can or need to control or change it is a real weight offWith this new realization/understanding has the way your everyday life unfold and how you relate to others changed?
