Decided to just go for it and just see what happened. So it went amazing! Why? How could it have gone that well?  He found out that nothing you can experience is beyond thought. Everything comes through thought.  What in my life have I experienced that has not included thinking?  Yeah. The catch is you can’t think about it. ;-) If your thinking is not included, how is your experience being formed/included?  DVD player metaphor Life force-DVD player that plays the DVD A screen where all the action takes place-consciousness Thinking/thoughts color the pixels is the action  How do you see this work in business?  When I see what truths thoughts can form I more question the day to day “beliefs” I have at work and as my mind has gotten more and more quieter, I just don’t see as many problems as I used to before anymore.   Put your reality under the microscope and challenge the truth of it. If this really isn’t thought created, where is this coming from? What is the basis for it?    There is only one time you can be in and that is now, there is only one place you can be in and that is here. You are always projecting stuff.  If we all could predict the future, we would be winning the euro lottery every week and I notice we are not.  The truth is, we have no idea about how things are gonna turn out.  You losing your job could be the best thing that has ever happened to you, you just have no way of knowing.   We waste so much energy worrying about the past, worrying about the future.  How can you do more easy on your presentations?  When you have perfected your presentation, how many people is it perfect too? Only ONE. That is yourself.  Who is really to say what is good or bad?  20 years ago I hated sushi, now I love it. Sushi hasn’t changed!  If you meet aggression with aggression it just fuels the aggression.  You are not what you “think”. You are not the content of your thinking.  You are the screen on what the action plays on.  The sun is always there even though you convince yourself otherwise. :-) Hope you enjoyed this episode.
