Sixty thousand thoughts a day—most of them not your own.
Why are we being "made to think"?
It is said that people have about 60,000 thoughts a day.
Most of it is the same thoughts as yesterday. The same anxieties. The same regrets. The same comparisons. The same self-talk. My mind is always noisy. As long as I'm awake, I'm constantly thinking, judging, and reacting to something.
Of those sixty thousand thoughts, how many truly originated from "my own will"?
Mostly, it's autopilot. Past memories loop on their own, future anxieties are simulated on their own, and we react to external stimuli on our own. You think you're thinking for yourself, but you're actually just being "made to think."
When you stop speaking, you understand this very well.
When I try to stop my thoughts with meditation, they run wild instead. The brain fears silence. When silence arrives, the brain tries to fill it by dredging up past memories and future anxieties.
Only when you overcome this resistance will "silence" arrive.
Silence is not the absence of sound.
The voice you hear after the noise of your thoughts fades away
Silence is not the absence of sound.
When thought stops speaking, another voice is heard from within it. Something that "is heard" rather than something one "thinks."
Some call it intuition, others call it inspiration. But it only appears in silence. As long as the noise of thought continues, you cannot hear its voice.
As distractions approach infinity, intuition approaches infinity.
In an era of information overload, silence becomes the greatest input.
The Misconception of "Doing Nothing"
Modern people are being asked to "output" too much. Speak up. Express yourself. Have opinions. Prove your existence.
Living under the pressure that equates output to human worth. Within that pressure, silence appears as "time doing nothing." Zero productivity. Zero value.
But actually, it's the opposite.
Silence is, in fact, the most information-rich of times. It is only when verbal utterances cease that unspoken information begins to flow.
In the silence, myselfKeeping things within yourself—that's the shortcut to truth.
When you stop making noise, what do you hear?
A state of pure being, confined solely within oneself. To exist eternally in that silence. That is the shortest path to truth.
Many people who say they're bad at meditation complain that the voices in their heads never stop. They're told to empty their minds, but they find it impossible. Because of this, they believe meditation isn't for them. But that's just a misunderstanding of what meditation is.
The first step in meditation is to stop talking and notice what you hear. Face that. Feel the words that well up from deep within you. I highly recommend trying this during your next meditation session.
