The Mind and Identity.

One of the most difficult things I’ve experienced as of late is just a high volume of thoughts that have been riling me. I work vehemently on just observing them as they come — Which seems easier said than done. 

The mind in it’s nature is analytical. Not so much observational. It wants to figure shit out. It’s identifying things, noticing patterns, deciphering.

Often times it can come ‘decide’ that people don’t like you. This is why. Oh this is happening for this reason. I am this or that because of this. 

Meanwhile while it’s true nature seems harmless… WE also have to understand thoughts are the drivinf force for creating our reality. It’s how we recieve messages from the Universal forces. It’s how we find what we enjoy. It’s even how we can eventually decipher our purpose. (It plays it’s role in understanding.)

But at the end of the day it is just that. Deciphering. Proccessing.

It’s easy to know that and to talk about it… But sometimes it’s god-damn hard. For a long time I believed that I could have the most perfect thoughts in existence. That I could be the outlier that was able to control every singlen thing that I let slip through to waking consciousness. I won’t even go into the subconcious right now since that’s a whole nother story. Lol

Where the trick really goes deep is when our thoughts foster a reaction from within us. A stressor from having an unwelcome thought that leads to violence, sexual deviancy or otherwise. It can cause us to genuinely get upset. I don’t want this in my mind!

Our bodies are supposed to be a space of peace. A space of experience. A space of joy. One of the biggest issues with obbsessive compulsive sufferers is this very notion. Their brains have no leashes, and instead of observing these experiences with curiosity, they are identifying with it. I’ve been there, done that. I even took prozac for it. Which actually made my life considerably worse. Who would have thought. 

While the path of observation I’ve stated before has it’s difficulties. Sometimes you let the water run too long and get reckless. Your emotions rise up… you begin to suffer. This isn’t all the time. This isn’t every moment. 

There comes a time though when we ask what the real solution is, how we can theoretically truly navigate this issue with concern. Clarity is what we really want. 

The Solar Plexus chakra is the home of that very identity. It’s your spirits experience through the self. The solar plexus is blocked when we are identifying with our thoughts truly, as well as being dragged by our anxiety. 

But the truth of these thoughts is that they are nothing but that. The only thoughts that create our reality around (I’d like to also urge you to understand this as a co-creation with the universe.) Are the ones we identify with. 

The goal of these practices is that we foster an identity centered from our highest being. Who we would like to be. How we would like the world to look. 

I know that I don’t identify with the minds observations, it’s over-indunations. It trying to figure outself out. My life continues to reflect that. Even if I stumble, I know that I’m still doing the work. 

It’s when we question the results, that we finally begin to see them.
