Most of us think all the time, especially if we include dreams, experiences and basically everything when there is at least some running commentary. This can be verbal, more intuitive or perhaps visual, but its a running, mental process where we try to understand & control what is going on.
Sure, there might be gaps in between thoughts, moments where we notice "glitches", but for the thinking mind its hard to believe, and especially act upon the fact that perhaps most of consciousness is beyond its grasp :-)
I'll get around to describing in detail some experiences with this going back to 95, but for now I'd like to see if anyone has feedback to the following:
- Its my experience that its possible to be fully awake, and then wake up from that state. Still after all these years since early 95 when this happened the first time its hard to describe, but I do know that it was 100% real, and equally as easy to distinguish as knowing that I'm dreaming or awake.
- It is possible to slowly making yourself available for states like these, but there might be no way to push for it. You can't dismantle thinking by adding further thinking and will, that is probably why.
- When living in this state for extended periods literally any and all problems fall away. This ranges from even physical pain to social conflict, it seems that my ability to help & regulate anyone around me gets a real boost. If falling partly out of this state things start slowly unraveling, often leading to myself getting hurt in the process haha!
- Even mental processes like writing an email can be done in the state of not creating any new thinking yourself, but of course its way harder to maintain. I've written maybe half an email in this state before it all came back, it was a very peculiar experience, certainly pointing to the former list item.
In summary its all been about not feel a need or want to produce any new thoughts or issues. As long as that state has been maintained there has been mental constructs coming into the mindstream based on history or when dealing with others as their needs and issues only.
I'll never claim to be anything or at any level on any scale, this has just been experience, but it does point to one very interesting thought: is this how those why certainly are on levels beyond manage everything around them? Is this how at least some of them can be very useful to a lot of people?
Any feedback would be very welcome! Be rude too if you want, I'll bite back if necessary haha!
