Life Stage

You are not the thinker of your thoughts;
You are the hearer of your thoughts

The thinker of your thoughts
is a subsidiary mechanism within you,
which attempts to put some of your feelings into words

Not looking at the matter this way,
most individuals tend to identify themselves
as the author of the words in their head,
and consequently are biased in favor
of believing and defending these thoughts

I'm moving into one of those New Age stages again. I'm getting into astrology and have found some cool books that make me have these deep thoughts. One is a simple book called "The Alchemist". I find it amazing how simple, quick reads can make you think so much. The above is taken from a book i picked up in the local goodwill. Its called "Mind Magic". From what little i've read, its all about removing the conditioning that has taken place in our lifetimes to free your mind. "The ectasy of feeing creative power". The thing that attracted me to it is that its not like a cover to cover book. Every page only has a couple verses on it (like the above would be 1 page). Brilliant. I think its supposed to be one of those books that is actually an exercise while you read it (eg. visualize your thoughts are like a senate; each thought coming from a different senator...). Then when you are done with the excercise, hopefully you will have learned something.

I also found this horiscope for Aquarius that fit me like a T. That started things a bit. Am I the age of Aquarius? I always thought i was something special...

I havent posted in a while. Things have been mostly fine. Its funny to look at your life from a distance sometimes and to laugh at what you are going through. "look at me now... oh boy its one of those weeks...you stupid asshole". I had one of those hard reality checks last night too. I was writing my gramma a card (which ive been meaning to do for a long time). I finished the card and was thinking about her and how i should keep better in touch. Then i thought about myself and the big house i was in and all my stuff in it. The music that was playing, the job that i was working, the age i was, where i was in life, what my friends were doing, what i was dealing with personally, the past. Slam! Whoa!@ When did this all happen?! Ha ha, kinda freaky, im sure you all know those feelings.

There is no right or wrong. No black and white. All you are is what you are. You are what you are being and that is all that is too it.
