Thinking Beyond Science

Reason that we may feel anxiety, worry, and doubt once we experience peace is because we were using a colossal amount of energy when we were thinking all of the time. Most people spend the majority of their day in a state of stress (thinking), which consumes enormous amounts of energy. When we stop thinking, this energy we used to use to think is now “freed up”, but it hasn’t been directed anywhere yet, and what happens is we return to our old patterns of putting that energy back into thinking because that is how we were conditioned. What we can do in this case is to channel the newfound energy into our goals of inspiration. This is the cure and intervention of preventing this energy from going back into overthinking.

Here’s an analogy that helps put this into perspective. On a piano, there are 88 keys. When we look at a piano, we don’t point out specific keys for no reason and say that that key is “wrong”. We only think a specific key is “wrong”, if we think someone is playing a specific song and hits a key that isn’t in the song. Inherently, the piano has no wrong keys, though. There are only keys and notes that sound more or less pleasant when played consecutively.

Just like how there are no wrong keys on the piano, there are no “wrong” decisions in life. There’s only thinking that give us pleasant or not so pleasant feelings. When we put things into a bucket of right or wrong, good or bad, this creates duality and conditions in our lives which determine how we feel. For instance, if we believe that opposing political parties are wrong or bad, this can cause animosity within us and make us feel a concoction of negative emotions.

If, on the other hand, we see different in the same way as there are different keys on the piano and how there are no inherently “wrong” parties, then we open ourselves up to experience love, joy, and peace in the moment. We begin to see alternative perspectives that we haven’t seen before and have an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the true nature of life.

Negative emotions are an indication of misunderstanding. When we are gripped by negative emotions, it means that we believe what we are thinking. It is in this moment that we simply forgot where our experience comes from and that our thinking is the cause of our negative emotions.

All we have to do is remember that thinking is the root cause of how we’re feeling. Once this is brought into our awareness, don’t fight the thinking. Just become aware that it is our thinking that’s causing the ill feelings, welcome it with love, and it will slowly dissipate before our eyes. Not too long after, we’ll return to our natural state of peace, love, and joy.

Society will almost never confirm our intuition until it’s mainstream already. For this reason, if we try to look outside for confirmation on what we know to be true for us, you’ll almost always get backlash and differing opinions on what next steps we should take. Avoid looking externally for answers. Follow your intuition, your gut feeling, your inner wisdom, and the Universe/God. When we do this, we will begin to see miracles occurring in our life that we never could have expected or even dreamed of. Those who have the faith and courage to do this, will discover the true joy, peace, and love they have been looking for while enjoying the miracle of life.

There’s so much in life that is completely out of our control, and we can really only control a very small portion of it. This is not to say that we give up because we can’t control our lives; it’s quite the opposite. When we realize that we don’t have to control and try to force everything to happen our way, we become free from suffering, pain, and frustration and begin to fall into this state of non-thinking where things just all happen for us instead of to us.

We begin to see that everything was perfectly placed in our lives to help us become the exact person we are now and that if anything were changed, we would not have what we do now. There are millions of small circumstances and events that have to have been meticulously orchestrated for us to be where we are now. To plan that would be impossible and futile, yet here we are. This is the miracle of life.

We only suffer when we try to figure it all out, but we don’t have to. This is when we want to rely on our intuition and inner wisdom to help show us exactly what we need to do in real time to manifest what we want. There’s no need to try to figure it all out in advance. Our part is to hold in our minds what we want and get into a state of non-thinking. This enables us to access our Infinite Intelligence (God) so that the answers are revealed to us exactly when we need it.

As humans, we biologically don’t like what’s unfamiliar because it means uncertainty. What’s ironic is that right about this time is when most people begin thinking that something is wrong because they feel so happy and peaceful the majority of the day. Many feel like they’re not as productive, have lost their “edge”, or are just lazier. This is far from the truth and it’s just our brain attempting to begin thinking again to create the illusion of “safety” it wants to feel. The truth is that we are most productive as humans when we are happy and in a state of non-thinking. Time seems to fly when we are in a state of pure joy.
