Thinking and a Voice in the Head

The greater part of most people’s thinking is involuntary, automatic, and repetitive. It is no more than a kind of mental static and fulfills no real purpose. Strictly speaking, we don’t think: Thinking happens to us. The statement “think” implies volition. It implies that we have a say in this matter, that there is choice involved on our part. For most people, this is not yet the case. “I think” is just as false statement as “I digest” or “I circulate my blood.” Digestion happens, circulation happens, and thinking happens.
The voice in the head has a life of its own. Most people are at the mercy of that voice; they are possessed by thought, by the mind. And since the mind is conditioned by the past, we are then forced to reenact the past again and again.
For thousands of years, humanity has been increasingly mind-possessed, failing to recognize the possessing entity as “not self.” Through complete identification with the mind, a false sense of self-the ego-came into existence. The density of the ego depends on the degree to which we - the consciousness - are identified with our mind, with thinking. Thinking is no more than a tiny aspect of the totality of consciousness, the totality of who we are.
