RE: How spiritual are you ? A question from the unspiritual
All that is a waste of time. Better to just learn to separate yourself from your thoughts and emotions and just use them when you feel the need to!
Well, the article was about the difference of spirituality, now and then. But I believe that you shouldn't run from your thoughts. A better way is to let them come in, to accept them as a part of you. Meditation helps you to not let them influence your inner state of mind.
They are not a part of you. Your thoughts are not even yours they come from external impressions. Identify with thoughts is a waste of time. Meditation is only a mode where you are not identified with thought or emotion.
Agreed on them not being part of you and that you mustn't identify with them but the modern acceptance of the meditation lifestyle is, ironically, an identification with the "no thoughts because thoughts are bad" paradigm. This is kind of an essay on the differences between the social phenomenon of meditation and the actual reality of it, tied to some of the most known myths about enlightened personas. If you seek a take on how to meditate or what it is, this is not it. I am separating the romantic view on the subject from the more authentic one.
Yes I agree. Thought is a tool that can be used. Same with emotions.
