Where do you get your thoughts from?

I’m not going to start preaching on the importance of feeling good about yourself and let everyone down by slipping in a couple of clichés. But I would like to talk about what most people already know.

Consider this sentence:

What you think- is in your head.

At first this sentence seems too obvious to make any sense. Of course everything I think is in my head, you might say.

But think about it then. If you can accept that you actually make up your views of the world from the inside of your skull. You then have no other option then to also accept that if you change your views – you change the world.

Namely:

The concept of the world is in your own imagination.

I think that the understanding of how we perceive reality is one of the best known ideas we have, but it’s also one of the most underestimated facts that is out there. We print t-shirts with slogans like: “think positive and the world will smile back on you” without ever realizing what it actually means.

If you want to change the way you think, you first need to understand where you get them from.

I’m thinking of broadening the areas I write about here. The problems with writing is that the form in which the text it is written in, in this case I mean this blog, slowly starts to dictate what you feel you can write about and what not to write about..

Isn’t that funny and strange at the same time? I think it is school psychology in it’s most basic form, and I don’t like it.
You see, the normal circumstances in which I feel at home talking about various subjects such as spirituality and everyday events is with you looking at you. This particular settings certainly takes a bit of time to get used to and it also takes time until you start to understand what it is that you are suppose to do with it.

Well, the warrior in me is starting to awake and is up for the challenge. To constantly tear down your own barriers and change thought processes is one of my favorite subjects. And it seems it is time for yours truly to live as he learns, as they say. ;-)

This is also a fundamental basics in living a spiritual life. You can’t grow if you feel you need to exclude parts of your being from yourself or everyone else. You are just the being you are, and your actions very much dictates your spiritual growth. You should never underestimate the power of doing.
