Lower Your Thoughts, Be Light And Be Enlightened
The thoughts we generate per second is directly related to stress. Your thoughts are always about your past or your future. You can only think about what happened in the past or what will happen in the future. Your thoughts of the past are usually regrets about what you did not do or guilt about what you did. Thoughts of the future are about what you wish to do. Neither the past nor the future is real. The past is gone. All we try to do is use our past to steer the future. The future is even more unreal, it has not happened.
Your have very little control over future.
Your thoughts are nothing but the movement of your mind between past and future. If only you allowed the mind to rest or even persuaded your mind to rest, you will find that you reach a blissful state. The state is the present moment. When thought frequency or thoughts per second or TPS comes down, we naturally rest in to the present movement.
At any given time the greater your TPS or Thoughts Per Second, the more far flung you are from consciousness of the present moment. The point where the future meets the past is the present. This is where your thought frequency is zero and you are in a no mind state. Space changes the whole context, for example when somebody shouts at us from far away we will not have the same impact as somebody shouting at us from very near-face to face.
Similarly time also changes the context, we will not be stressed about somebody who shouted at us five days ago. But when somebody shouts at us today we will be stressed but Time and space heals
Meditation brings the mind to rest. Meditation disengages the mind so that the mind cannot play games. Not even living in the present, deciding to live in the present, that is where the problem is, we are not even deciding. Awareness, trying to live in the present work likes a load on us, even though we know the benefits of being alive and joyful. But you still decide not to live in the present; because we have a deep strong belief that the present means stress. We have to remind our bio memory to understand that awareness means restfulness and being in the present means utter relaxation.
