You are misunderstanding . . . In daily life thoughts come to the mind. That cannot be prevented. But if there is no obsessive attachment or emotional response to whatever pops up, those thoughts are in the background like a gentle, spring rain and the mind is quite peaceful just being in the present.

"Thoughts come to the mind" because there is an obsessive attachment to a certain state of mind.
Try to think without thoughts.

Do you trust your ability to think?

"Thoughts come to the mind" because there is an obsessive attachment to a certain state of mind.

And "obsessive attachment" is the problem. The avalanche CAN be stopped but requires focused and sustained effort.

Try to think without thoughts.

Just try to imagine the relief of not having that constant chatter screaming in your head but only being in and observing the ever-changing kaleidoscope of present phenomena. It is a choice between fiction or reality . . .

"constant chatter screaming in your head" - It has nothing to do with thinking.

So that, you claim that senses are not truthful, and the ability to think cannot be trusted. Is this your road to ultimate reality?

Why do you trust your state of mind without "constant chatter screaming in your head"?
It might be a deceptive illusion produced by discursive mind to blow up your ego.

golinux · 2025-08-29 15:27:22

Because the mind is at peace and expansive. It is a bit like walking with a thorn in the bottom of your foot and finally understanding that you can pull it out.

igorzwx · 2025-08-29 15:51:43

If you do not trust your senses, it is to be perceived as a deceptive illusion.

golinux · 2025-08-29 17:23:35

I have always trusted my sensory receptors. They have never failed me. It is the spinning out of the mind AFTER the sensory perception (which only lasts a nanosecond) that is the problem.

Do you trust your ability to think?

golinux · 2025-08-29 18:44:21

That is a very strange question. Thoughts come and go without any initiation on my part though there may be a proximate cause to trigger it. I do know that with age, complex abstract tasks can become more of a challenge. Yet, I can still find creative solutions to about any problem around the house and property, IOW, in the real world.

If you trust the Teaching, it should not be a problem to provide clear and confident answers to related questions.

golinux · 2025-08-29 18:52:43

Remember that the teaching only points the way . . . I have answered to the best of my ability. I cannot bestow that knowledge on anyone else. We can only take that journey for ourselves.

Perhaps this anecdote will put things into perspective . . . I once asked an old monk why it is so difficult to understand the teachings. He replied that only one or two out of a hundred who attempted would have the ability to do so.

golinux goes off to the sensory delight of strawberries and coconut milk!

Indeed, it might be difficult to trust the Teachings, if "it is so difficult to understand the Teachings". And how to understand them without the trust in the ability to think?

The "understanding" that counts is not a "thinking". That is easy. The understanding that matters is experiential. Something like Newton and the apple.

igorzwx · 2025-08-29 20:24:01

Do you mean "the understanding without the trust in the ability to think that counts"?

EDIT:
I seems to be an ancient technology. First undermine the trust in the ability to think, then indoctrinate.

The trust in the ability to think is "a symptom of delusional arrogance on steroids".

I am so sorry your thinking is so scrambled. That nonsense will be the end of this fruitless conversation with I am not sure who or what . . .
