We have thoughts to believe, emotions to feel. We are born to have.
So it makes no sense to disbelieve thoughts or stop feeling the emotions.
But very strangely, we feel something not going right, so we are trying to disbelieve thoughts and stop feeling.
That is, if there's no wrong about thoughts and emotions, then why do we try to against them?
Why not just be what we are instead of against what we are?
I guess the reason is that we don't want to be what we are.
Teacher will say : accept what you are.
Great! But I don't know how to do.
One way to do that is cutting my brain off, be a plant. The another way is stop wanting.
But wanting is my(ego) nature, so stop wanting makes no sense. (If I am a ball, stop being a ball makes no sense and at the same time, breaks the rule:accept what we are)
I have give up "stop", so that is the reason why I have very strong emotions now.
Do we still have a way to go out from the circle?
If we want to accept what we are, what we feel, what we are thinking, then it is reasonable to notice them (at least we need to know what we are trying to accept). That is the first step to do.
But most of time we don't have such ability to aware of our ongoing thoughts/emotions/images.
Maybe we can do it by practicing since it is doable , my ego can do that
The next step is non-business of my ego: accept that.
I can only do what ego can do.
How?
