Spiritual Hygiene: The Emptying of Thoughts
/----------
The funny thing about ego-mind, is that it assumes that it is perfectly reasonable.
That is why it is a good idea, in your spiritual hygiene, to write daily thoughts down in a journal - it gives you an external perspective on what becomes hidden in the fog of everyday existence. When you see the thoughts on paper, they hit a lot differently.
The substance of everyday thoughts is like a collection of lost puzzle pieces that fell from many different puzzle boxes years ago. Some fit together - some are lost and yet can be made to "fit". None of it is not needed and can be safely removed.
Does that mean that you have nothing going on between the ears, once you clear? That is like asking whether all clouds disappear forever when the sky is perfectly blue.
When you shift your gaze and energy from thoughts to presence, you are then saying to the universe, "Yes!" and you are then ready to receive awareness and wisdom as needed right here and right now. If you do this every day all day, and all night, the whole of wisdom becomes ever present, ever mutable, and always One.
