Don't Believe Everything You Think: Why Your Thinking Is The Beginning & End Of Suffering (Beyond Suffering Book 1)

Thoughts create. Thinking destroys.

“I think and think and think, I've thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it.” — Jonathan Safran Foer

When we say that we want to stop thinking, many people assume that we are trying to stop all thoughts in general. This isn't what we're trying to do. Now that you know the difference between thoughts and thinking, we are working on allowing thoughts to come and flow through us while we minimize the thinking about those thoughts that emerge.

Thus, we go ahead and proceed to set another goal out of desperation in an attempt to escape all of the negative feelings gnawing away at our soul.

when we create something without conditions or reasons, we actually immediately feel all of the positive feelings we want. Unconditional creation is creating something without it being for another purpose, but purely to create it because we just want to create it.

What can give us true peace is knowing that we always have this state of pure peace, love, and fulfillment underneath any thinking that we may ever have at any given moment. That beautiful state we always want is something we can never lose, but only forget.

“I think and think and think, I've thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it.”

Thinking is the root cause of all our psychological suffering.

Our feelings do not come from external events, but from our own thinking about the events. Therefore, we can only ever feel what we are thinking.

"People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.”
