Thinking versus Being

Your brain can't help thinking, as this is its nature. But you are not your brain. This means that your true nature transcends thought, it is beyond any expressions on either a physical or mental level. Therefore the world created by your emotional thoughts is not the real world. Emotional thought is unable to perceive the essence of any element of creation. This means that you don’t see what actually “is” but only what you “believe” it is, you perceive it through your personal interpretation. When you look at a tree, you don't simply acknowledge its shape and colors. Your brain starts immediately to reason about the characteristics of this tree. It “thinks” about it. Therefore the deep essence of such experience is almost totally lost. By judging what surrounds you - as this is just what thinking is - you label situations, things and people and thus create a kind of cocoon where you happily live without being able to see beyond your prejudices and pre-conceived ideas.
