Consideration is a contemplative awakened meditation. An Absolute State of Knowing Awareness is simple as it does not change. To think thoughts can change nature’s essence is a mistake we are free to make. Mental disorders like anxious disorders reflect this form of thought. Shrinking from rather than facing backward choices increases their dramatic impact. Insisting on resisting mental effects creates pressure that is depressing - insuring they persist.
We Know We Know and are Aware We are Aware. There is no wrong, fight, fear, lies, ego or insanity in Truth as Reality. Our natural Essence is essential and how we know so well when something’s wrong. Anxiety is stress from thoughts under pressure. Pain is evidence something’s wrong. Trying to feel better about or get over reactive, impulsive or compulsive urges makes matters worse. Obsessive thoughts are sick choices we can think condemn us. Choices are the will to want. The right to freely think does not make what we think right. Like them or not consequences reflect our thoughts as a mirror reflects images.
Talking and thinking to our thoughts creates more thoughts thinking of themselves - not our self. Thinking defines what we think not who or what we are. Choices to think are actions we take, something we do. We cannot be what we do even while imagining thoughts are true and create “our own” reality.
To any degree untrue thoughts are believed true we lie and manifest unhealthy, ill-at-ease, inner-conflicted emotional turmoil. Lies effects will appear to happen to us whenever we irresponsibly act like we have nothing to do with them. Feeling lonely is an accurate assessment of disconnected, baseless thinking. To think we have no choice is the suicidal death wish there is nothing we can do about them - as though we don’t exist. To create a cause and deny the effect is how the vicious mental cycle of obsessive thoughts - central to all symptomatic addictions as compulsive behaviors - chronically restarts.
I'm no Einstein, but Albert was and along with many other notables he said: “You cannot fix a problem with the same thinking that created it.”
Symptomatic recovery does not cure the obsessive mental illness - it clears the looking glass so the problem can be seen. Emotional sobriety is sane living. Wrong as wrong is right. Resting in Peace on earth does not require we first be buried in it.
Little, if any, belief, faith, hope, or trust in what is Absolute is required since any reliance on the stability of Reality is confirmed as applied now. Awe and inspiration are the actualization and realization that all that is possible is happening here, now, for all that is and all that are - always in all ways.
Thoughts naturally align with our knowing awareness even while the obsession to pretend, they won’t and don’t, seems to consume our thinking’s attention. Stability like serenity is assured to express the abundance of our essential loving essence. This assurance remains even when we feel lost in tangled thoughts thinking otherwise. Think about That.
Knowing’s nature is Absolute - it is neither negotiable, occasional or optional.
There is no doubt where there is no question.
Sanity is the natural human state of thought as a product of Truth as Reality.
