#11 What The Fuck's 'a Thought'?
10/13/19 • 20 min
The search for Truth necessitates questioning everything, and there are several things we never think to question as they seem self-evident. What is a thought and where does it come from? In this episode we look for proof "we think", and will come to realise, at least intellectually, that we're not the source of thoughts, rather than we perceive them very much like sounds. This has huge implications, to truly realise your thoughts are not a part of your 'Self', you will no longer be attached to your opinion or point of view, you become extraordinarily flexible and easy going. You're no longer interested in being "right", and you begin to understand that thoughts are functional, and thoughts do not have a superior or inferior relationship, but rather, some thoughts lead to peace and some away from it.

#10 Feeling Good About Feeling Bad
What we really need, to work with negativity, is the realisation that it's there to guide us. To fear our feelings, is to fear ourselves. In truth our painful feelings are there to guide us, to new ways of seeing, more loving ways of being.

#12 Practicing Acceptance
What does acceptance mean? Well it's not resignation, nor is it passivity. Acceptance is a recognition of the way things are combined with the understanding that wishing things things were different only makes us feel bad. To accept something is to see it clearly, this means we need to separate the story from the facts.
