Hello everyone,

What's up,

Hope everyone is well and of course literally doing well.

Today's conversation we're going to be speaking about thought being the root of suffering and regards to also evil.

And evil in regards to,

You know,

They say money is the root of all evil but realistically it's what you do with the money.

And of course that goes back to your thoughts because everything that you do on a daily basis goes back to the way that you think.

All of your experiences,

All of the conditioning that you've been conditioned to,

Molds you into the person that you are literally today.

And when we actually dissolve thought in our state of observation,

The conditioning diminishes,

The thought diminishes and now we can actually be free because the mind becomes free of thought which basically now gives us inner peace,

So to say.

If you want to hear more about what I've just said,

Please check out the first audio or conversation I would say called The Substance of Thought and Meditation where I go thoroughly into what thought is and how it manifests.

But just to give you a quick introductory,

So what I'm going to say after makes sense,

This is a quick skim through of how thought comes to be.

So it's quite simple,

When you meet somebody for the first time you have a blank template of them,

You have an observation of them,

You are observing them.

Through your observation,

Through the way they talk,

Walk,

Move their hands,

The clothes they're wearing,

The cologne or perfume they're actually wearing,

You know,

You basically experience them.

That basically experience now contracts within you and imprints within your mind,

So the energy imprints within their mind and through that particular experience that you have of them,

That observation now becomes tainted with thought which is time,

Memory,

Thought and it basically is the past.

So now every single time you see this particular person again you will always see them from that experience that you had of them,

Not before when you had an observation of them where thought basically didn't exist.

So now that observation is tainted and every time you see them you remember the way they spoke,

The way they made you feel,

The judgement you may have had upon them,

The experience they gave you.

And they're all basically imprints and now basically as thought.

So the image of them becomes distorted.

You will never see that person ever the same again because you've been tainted with thought.

Now if you observe that person when you see them without any emotional attachment,

Any judgements of the experiences that you had of them when you first saw them,

You will start to realise that thought diminishes,

It detaches,

The mind becomes quiet and now basically you the observer are looking at that particular person as the observed.

So the observer now becomes the observed.

So what I'm trying to say is,

Is basically it's an image looking at another image.

So it's two images looking at each other and there's no time,

Memory,

Knowledge,

Thought,

Memory that all gets,

That barrier dissipates and now thought dissipates and now basically you are free from that particular experience that that person gave you.

Because you are in a state of observation.

So all of that to basically say,

We're now going to move forward into I guess suffering.

Now I'll give you an example.

Let's say you have a friend of yours and they total F off,

They curse you,

They swear at you and it makes you feel just upset,

Angry,

You might be emotional,

It's very detrimental to you because you feel like how can this person say this to me?

So what happens is now,

What happens now is every time you basically see this person,

Say the next day after,

A week after,

Whatever it might be,

You see this person and you get angry,

You get agitated,

You get upset,

You're like oh my gosh how can they do this to me?

Why is this happening to me?

It's not fair.

How can this person do this to me?

And you get very emotional and so forth and as we said,

The word emotional breaks down to energy,

Emotion.

The more energy you put into that thought,

The more emotion goes into it.

So all of that to basically say,

It causes you suffering,

You become upset,

You become angry,

You suffer,

You're like oh my gosh.

So now let's move forward with that.

So the reason that you're feeling that way is because you think that it's the person that's causing you the suffering,

The anger,

The emotional imbalance,

The sleepless nights,

Whatever you want to call it,

The frustration and suffering and so forth,

But realistically and truthfully,

They're not causing you those particular energies we just spoke about,

It's actually yourself and you're thinking why?

Very simple.

Every time you think of that person,

You think of the thought.

Now,

As we said previously,

Through the observation of that argument you had with that situation,

What you did was when they cursed you,

You took that inner time,

Memory,

Knowledge and you took that energy within yourself.

So what happens now is every time you think of that person,

You don't think of the person,

What you're really thinking of is the experience of that person which is the thought.

And every time you think of that thought,

The more emotion you put into it,

And of course we said emotion breaks down to energy,

Emotion,

The more energy you put into it,

The more that thought becomes intensified and it loops within the mind,

It loops and it plays back and forth and it causes you detriment,

It causes you for you to be sad,

It causes you for you to be just upset.

So really and truly,

It's not that person that's causing you the imbalance,

It's yourself.

Because if you were to look at that person and you were to observe that person and observe the situation,

That situation would dissolve because through the observation,

Everything ceases,

Thought,

Time,

Memory,

Knowledge and the experience ceases and you'll realise that you're looking just at an empty person.

Because their thought,

The thought isn't there,

So you're not going to get that particular anger,

That particular frustration or whatever it caused you,

It's not going to be there because you've now diminished and stilled the mind of thought.

So essentially you are your own judge,

Jury and executioner.

The more you think of that experience,

The more it loops within the mind,

The more you get angry,

The more your vibration drops,

The more your body hurts,

The more your mind hurts,

The more you feel like oh my gosh.

And if it's a very angry situation,

What you do now is you bring forth the element fire,

The fire element and what that does now basically,

It makes you feel hot,

Constipated,

It makes you feel hated,

Like you want to kill this person,

You just want to get revenge to a degree because how can they do this to me and so forth.

And of course as we said previously in part one of this conversation,

If it's very hurtful basically and you really feel it,

You start to pull energy from the heart and you start to weaken the organ of the heart because every time you think of it,

You feel broken inside.

And of course your heart is broken to a degree because you feel like oh my gosh,

How,

How,

How and you start to pull vital energy basically from the heart and that particular part of the body becomes weaker because all of your organs are connected to the way that you think.

And every time you have a detrimental experience or an unbalanced experience,

You may call it negative and so forth,

And you think of it in any way,

You start to pull basically energy from that particular part of the body or organs,

Which is why when you have pains around the body like we said previously,

It's actually unbalanced thought forms that have lingered,

Are lingering within the etheric part of those organs that are basically sucking energy from those organs when you actually think.

But when you are in a state of observation,

When you're balanced,

When you're calm,

What happens is those thoughts tend to diminish,

They dissipate and now basically those organs become more healthier,

More life force gets released through the body and into that part of the organ and then you feel balanced.

So in a nutshell again,

What we're saying is,

No one causes the conflict within yourself apart from you,

You're the one that causes your conflict.

You cause it on a daily basis because it always roots back to what?

To thought.

And you are not your thoughts,

Your thoughts are just catalogued experiences that you've catalogued from,

From birth to now.

And you are not your thoughts because if you meditate,

If you meditate in a state of observation,

You will detach and realise that you are not your thoughts.

And then when you see your thoughts,

It's like I said previously,

Are you thinking your thoughts or are your thoughts thinking of course you?

But that's what I wanted to basically bring forth,

You know,

It's suffering,

It's conflict that all comes from thought,

It comes from thought like Krishna Murti would say,

When you have choice you have conflict.

Because let's say for example I gave you,

Let's say you were thirsty and I gave you a bottle of water,

You just open it and drink it right?

You're like cool.

If I gave you,

If I bought you three bottles of water,

You put them down and you'd be like should I pick this one or that one,

That one looks more cleaner,

That one looks more healthier,

Which one do I do?

Which one do I pick?

And through your,

Through,

When you,

Through your,

Oh gosh I'm getting tongue twisted,

When you see those bottles and you're deciding,

As you're deciding,

Making a choice,

You cause conflict within the mind.

So when,

When,

When,

When there's,

When you have choice you have conflict,

Which is another conversation but it's quite interesting,

You know,

This is where we say thought is the root of all evil,

Not people,

Not people are not evil,

Their thoughts are evil because of what they're actually doing,

You know.

And of course people who are good have good thoughts but then really and truly within every single person there's good or bad because their thoughts can just switch up and the most nicest person can turn evil and the most evilest person can turn good.

So this is why realistically it's not,

It's not even about positive or negative,

It's just literally you want to acquire balance within oneself.

So that's something I want to share with you because conflict,

We go through conflict and suffering and pain on a regular basis.

It might be micro from deciding basically what drink you're going to drink to,

You know,

Like,

You know,

A confrontation of somebody that you know it's going to be,

You don't know how it's going to pan out,

You know,

We don't know what you're going to do when someone does something to you,

Like,

Oh my gosh,

Should I say this,

Should I text him this,

Should I call him,

You know,

You start to create conflict.

And within that conflict you create suffering.

So that's,

It's very important because when you realise it all goes back to your thoughts and you understand your thoughts are not part of you,

That they're separate,

They're just experiences that have been catalogued within the mind.

Now you can navigate through life basically knowing that,

Knowing that basically you wouldn't get angry if someone does you anything bad or good because we have to realise also for someone to lash out at you,

For someone to curse you,

For someone to do something to you,

They've been triggered.

They've been triggered from an experience,

From a thought that they've experienced and through what you've done to them or through what they,

Through the scenario it's triggered them to act a certain way because that particular thought form,

That particular experience has triggered them and now they project that onto you.

So it's a projection of an experience that they experience through a situation or a person that's been embedded into their mind and through the senses,

Through the words,

Through the colours,

Whatever it may be,

It's triggered them basically to now project that onto you,

Which is why basically I never get mad at anybody anymore.

I may be like oh my gosh,

Really they've done that but then I'm like,

I don't judge anybody and because I understand that thought is of the past and I understand how thought works to a degree,

I never get mad at anybody because I know it's through something they've experienced,

That they've gone through for them to act a certain way or to feel a certain way.

So that's pretty much what I wanted to say.

I hope it made sense to every single person and of course if you have any questions you want to ask me,

I forgot to mention this in my first conversation I posted up a few days ago,

About a week ago and so forth,

Simply just drop me a comment and I'll reply to you.

I'll reply back to everyone's questions 100% and if you have more than one question or you need clarification on anything,

Feel free to just drop me a message on the stream and I will get back to every single person's question or thought,

Whatever it might be.

And if there's something you want me to cover or you want me to give you my side of things,

Feel free to just also put that into the comments and I will literally get back to you.

That being said,

Thank you for listening,

Hope everyone is well and doing well and I'll catch everyone soon with a brand new conversation.

I think I call it a conversation also because you're thinking,

Hold on a second,

You're talking to yourself but really and truly when I'm putting these conversations out,

You know,

It's a conversation where you think,

You observe,

You analyse,

No sorry,

I'm getting tongue twisted.

You observe,

You enquire,

Use your critical thinking and you pay attention to what I'm saying attentively and you pay attention to yourself and you ask yourself the questions because I'm,

As Krishna Murthy would say,

I'm merely just a speaker.

It's about you,

The person that's receiving the information to think and question for yourself.

Don't just follow when people speak,

Use your observation,

Use your critical thinking,

Use the common sense,

You know,

And do the work for yourself.

Never follow anyone and if you ever meet any gurus,

Teachers,

Saints,

Whatever you want to call them,

Question them,

Question them,

Squeeze them,

Question them about everything and anything.

Believe me,

It's a must.

Don't ever just shake your head and say yes.

It's like Tupac would say,

Don't nod your head to the beat,

Listen to the lyrics or the words,

What are they saying?

Don't just be like,

Yes,

Yes,

Yes,

Yes,

Oh my gosh,

Amazing,

Yes,

No.

Use your own common sense and thinking.

That's what I mean by conversation.

It's a conversation between me and you and you're asking yourself questions,

You're using that mind to see what I'm saying.

Does it make sense?

Doesn't it make sense?

And you know,

One of the hardest things to do is not to agree or disagree,

But just to pay attention,

Basically take it,

Take the information in and then use your critical thinking or want not to come up with what you think is because if we agree or disagree straight away,

We automatically just,

We just block basically,

We block the energy flow from my intuition basically.

It's telling me,

Well,

We don't agree or disagree,

But we just,

We just conversate with people.

We conversate,

We have a conversation.

You'd be surprised how much we can actually learn from,

From each other.

You know,

Believe me,

We can learn so,

So much from each other.

With that being said,

People,

Hope everyone is well and doing well again and I'll catch everyone soon.

Pardon me with another cool conversation.

Peace out.

Meet your Teacher
