Lesson 19 – I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts

Text: Thinking and its results are simultaneous for cause and effect are never seperate. This is rarely a wholly welcome idea at first, since it seems to carry with it an enormous sense of responsibility, and may even be regarded as an ‘invasion of privacy’. Yet it is a fact that there are no private thoughts.

Learning: I found it quite interesting after the practice periods how random the thoughts that came up to be ‘seen’ were, the world, war, love, kids, weight loss food, all a jumble, like different colours and shapes, and in no particular order or sense apart from being in this practice period. After having my almost 3 and 3/4 year old waking at 4am each morning for the past 3 mornings and being considerably sleep deprived I appreciated the simplicity of these practice periods and how calm and at peace I felt after each one.

With wonder,
