Spiritual identities
Comment
Hi everyone,
the more I become aware of my thoughts, the more I notice many of them come from my "spiritual identity". It's too easy for me to recognise the mistakes of others and this leads me to think in a judgmental way. Thoughts like:
"watcthing TV is useless, you're wasting your time", "eating these kind of food is self-defeating", "there is no need to worry, just trust and let it be", etc.
These thoughts aren't filled with negativity, but it's like my mind wants to remember me the things I already know about the path - which is annoying! Fortunately, they dissolve when I become aware of them. But specially after meditation, they reveal themselves, as if my mind is also showing me that they do not serve me.
If I keep becoming aware of them, will they eventually cease to exist?
And can I apply the openhand approach specifically to the root of the these thoughts?
Thank you,
Eduardo
