Food for thought

Most people are afraid to understand that their thoughts are not their own. The "cognitive" process is only an artifact of the descent of their own creative forces as they try to manifest themselves. Once this realization dawns on you.....it makes all the difference. No more interference just clarity.
Inside-out is the only position that is useful. Stretch to see what is within and then expose it to the light. Whatever prospers and creates well-being is not to be touched for now but whatever looks, feels or smells like crap needs to be dumped as soon as possible. (Kind of like the hexadecimal dump after a programming error so you can see just what the heck is really happening...)
Since thoughts are actually echoes and reverbrations of incoming descendent energy just how do you "stop" them? Obviously we are not interested in interrupting the transcendent flow of our own vital energy. There is a difference between the original and the artifact that allows us to differentiate them. As the incipient energy flow is "redirected" or "transduced" or "reflected" or "occulted" a certain adulteration of the vibrational state occurs. One of the easiest ways to recognize this altered state is to observe how the "recently added" piggybacked waveform affects your behavior. (Remember that vital energy is there to actuate our psychic processes as well as revealing and satisfying our real needs.)
Like a feedback loop adding a screech to your favorite song, the psychological reaction to these forms is interpreted on the emotional plane in the form of feelings that affect your mental state. Apprehension, nervousness, elation, shame, guilt etc. When these feelings rear their ugly heads that is when you have to get out of yours. Since they will often manifest as internal dialogues (I know that seems strange but the only reference that they generate is forms that you recognize since they are coming from your own internal constructs.) you never want to have an internal conversation as such. This is the feedback loop that generates the signal that amplifies the emotivisation associated with the subducted waveform. Recognizing these forms and their effects puts you back in the driver's seat.
Understandably, man is provided with the one power that all sentient beings possess, verbalized communication. It is this ability to express and raise the level of consciousness through the exchange of quanta of intelligence that allows us to continuously improve our situation. This exchange uses the medium of speech and instills in the words that we use to transmit this energy-form, the vibration of our source-knowledge as a quantifiable manifestation.
When you speak to an issue, the sound of the words contains your intent while the sense of the words chosen conveys their meaning. Whether or not that issue concerns your internal structures and biases, this information is contained within the vibrational imprint of the emission and is available for scrutiny. What you see is what you get but what you hear is what you are.
