Freedom from Thoughts of Violence By Separating Who We Are from What We Think #197

How do we separate what we think about from who we are and why is this beneficial for helping us feel good about ourselves, about the people around us?

Thank you for reading about day 197 of Happier People Podcast and I hope you enjoy it!

Freedom from Thoughts of Violence by Separating Who We Are from What We Think #197

This helps me a lot, especially when I have thoughts come up that I don't like, for example, a thought of violence.

I don't like those thoughts and for years I had lots of thoughts of violence, but when I had a thought of violence, I believed that that thought reflected on who I was, and when I see that the thoughts I have are not a reflection of who I am, then there is nothing to feel bad about. Not only that, the thoughts I have are an opportunity to help and connect with other people.

Last night, I had a thought of violence in bed and I went into that old habit of actually entertaining it and thinking about it a bit, and then I felt ashamed and that was the cycle that I used to go through.

When I was sitting in the classroom in high school that was pretty much what I did all day off and on throughout high school. I'd think some thought of violence, I'd entertain it, like, “Yeah. That's more interesting than this class,” and then I would feel bad about it like I'm some awful person.

Freedom from Thoughts of Violence By Separating Who We Are from What We Think

There are a few things that are important to know about this.

First, thoughts are impersonal.

In other words, the thoughts we have are not related to who we are.

Thoughts often happen in groups or in situations.

Nice one jerry.

Ya it's nice...

@jerrybanfield Sir I started my steem journey after watching you on youtube, I saw you earning more than 500$ on every posts of yours before some days, but now I see the same number of upvotes but the revenue doesnot even crosses 10$ ?? I am feeling very discouraged by seeing this, Can you please explain the reason behind this sir?

He is a selfish person who only cares about himself.. he have only taken from this community and never gave back anything to anybody that's why the community is rejecting him.

the person who upvote you should have good steem power , then only will get rewards .

@bnbtravels123 but look at the number of upvotes?
Earlier also @jerrybanfield used to get around the same number of upvotes but right now there is a huge difference in the payout which I can't Digest?

Jerry used to have access to the large upvote bots that you can purchase upvotes from. He used to purchase upvotes for every single post. Since he started creating videos about sucking his own penis however, he's been blacklisted from using these bots. So now he can't buy upvotes to send his posts to stupidly high values.

Jerry isn't someone you should aspire to be like, or call sir for that matter.

Ok that means every single post of his was manipulated by bots,
Shocking to hear this, But anyway Thanks for the much-needed info @steemdrivetime

yes, you can see in his videos since the infamous "self-suck video".. that the guy has lost his shine, his earlier enthusiasm is totally gone... he can't even fake it well. Seems like an empty hollow vessel talking to himself in a mirror... not even realizing how he blew it.

oblivious to himself

A biblical point reflects something similar, St. Paul said: "I have discovered that the good that I want to do I do not do and what I do not want to do, that I do". If each action is the product of what we think, it could be said that we must control what we think?

control of what we think is key!

please reply me

Sir you are great and helping man for us..and if everyone become like you and help everyone who needs help really our world will be very beautiful...

This insight has political value as well! I am writing about how we have the potential of creating liquid communities of the like-minded within which to deliberate. This organization of intellectual solidarity provides an order that will move our conversations more in a coherent direction that can be productive. While opposing thought communities engage in processes of critical pedagogy that challenges their beliefs within a safe, non-flaming community, these 'opposing' communities of thought are provided ways of mutual critique and dialogue.

In a future politics we will not be strictly associated with parties, groups, or personalities which are frozen, static . . rather we will form liquid alliances within a holarchical framework of organization.

I agree with you: This separation of identity and the content of thought is important, because it keeps our minds open to change, to revisions, restructuring . . to be more human, dynamic, more collaborative.

sir please resteem my post . Firstly chech then do https://steemit.com/mgsc/@krishpandoh12/wonders-of-science

What next..

Hi, jerrybanfield! I think that if it is possible to separate what we think of us ... the thoughts are infinite and we are usually the common thing ... I think we have all had thoughts of violence ... and that there are those who learn to leave it in the thought and others reflect it in the behavior ... Thank you for sharing this publication ...

Nice share about the thought of violence @jerrybanfield. the thought of violence that come to my mind now is for you to follow and give me an upvost. Hahaha!
