Your Thoughts Are So Powerful They Can Kill You

Profound but not actually revolutionary:-). According to the ancient wisdom traditions like the Vedas and the Zohar, this is the point of our existence - to realize who we are, as consciousness/awareness and that the nature of this awareness is limitless bliss (not bliss as in ecstatic happiness but whole and complete peaceful bliss, unaffected by our experience).

I understand your reservations. The beauty in it is that once you are free of your thoughts and begin to realize you are awareness, the witness of all object then you be able to experience both good and bad situations without attachment. You won't be searching for the next happy experience or trying to avoid unpleasant experiences because you will see that you are the happiness/blissfulness you seek in the objects. In sanskrit the hamster wheel of life where we continuously seek happiness in objects is called samsara.

Make sense?

I suppose it does make sense, it's just hard for me to instantly adopt as my life up to this point had plenty of drama (maybe it's because of my Scorpio ascendant :))
I'll take a deeper look into it, thank you for elaborating.

I'm a scorpio. funny. Scorpio's are truth seekers. Mediation makes the unconscious conscious. You begin to see the world differently and you can see your drama and everyone else's too. Very difficult to adopt in the beginning, it's a practice...
