Dissolving destructive thought patterns

It is said by some anthropologists that when thinking/critical thinking first began in humans, the humans were very surprised. They believed the voice they heard in their heads was some sort of God. Thinking somewhat helped develop some language-so language started to happen in people's heads.

Then over the millennia, the voice of the mind became so over invasive that it took over people's sense of identity. Probably after a long time even they still had a sense of their true rootedness in the depths of their being. However, throughout the millennia, they became more and more drawn into their thinking mind. Their whole sense of identity, what was rooted in the depths of their being became the permanent voice in the head.

The awareness of thought is not a thought. It is simply the ability to look at the thought as if a light were shining on it. Pure unconditioned consciousness in which the thought has become a form. We can use an analogy and say consciousness is the vast ocean and thinking is the waves and ripples on the surface of it. Every wave and ripple has a short lived life. It is very fleeting like every thought, but it pretends to have an independent existence. Then this continuous identification stream of thinking leads to a very serious disfunction in one sense of identity.

Your sense of who you are, your sense of "I-ness" is derived from whatever your mind is telling you. There is a deeper sense of self that is possible to humans. It is not thought, but where your true sense, your self is, not as a story in your head. You no longer derive your identity from something you are telling yourself in your head.

There is such a thing called the collective mind. Many of those thoughts are not yours really. They arise in the collective mind. They are every fields or energetic entities. When we deal with our own minds and whatever awareness arises in you, is not just your benefit. It has an impact on the totality of the collective mind. If the awareness arises, it is arising in the collective mind of humanity. It's not a personal thing in the same way a thought takes possession of your mind. There is no personal thought as such. It pretends to be, but is really the human collective mind.

There is no ego apart from the thoughts in your mind. This is the ego-thoughts and identifying with them. The thoughts that go through your mind are of course linked to the collective mind of the society you live in. It is humanity as a whole. Technically, these type of thoughts are not yours so much, but you pick them up from the collective, most of them. You identify with thinking and the indentification with thinking turns to ego. This simply means you believe in many if not every thought that arises and where you derive your sense of who you are from-what the mind is telling you.

We tend to continuously identify ourselves with thoughts. So if I identify myself with my thoughts, than who am I? If I am not the thoughts that arise in my mind that tell me this or that and others like myself, who or what is that identifies with thought? No thought could be there without consciousness. Consciousness is the light in which the thought forms appear. For any thought to be there, than there must be that light of consciousness in which the thought appears. Who you are in essence is the light of consciousness behind the thought.

Your priority is no longer to go where your thoughts want to take you. It wants more of your consciousness and it wants to grow. It is a simple realization that this is what the mind does and it's okay. It tries to pull you in. Let your thoughts arise, but just don't follow. When you are totally and completely immersed in the thinking stream, you begin to inhabit a conceptual reality. This seperates you from the actual aliveness that's all around you. Stepping out of complete identification with thinking is the key that your reality is no longer a conceptual reality. Then you can have a clear sense of the world and others without imposing judgement.
