If Nobody Is Choosing Their Thoughts...

[Rilles]

Then how the hell can you blame anyone for their actions?

Trump is not choosing his thoughts

Hitler wasnt choosing his thoughts

Buddha wasnt choosing thoughts

Their thoughts appeared in their awareness and the world became how It was supposed to become.

Yet the act of blaming is something you don't choose either. Those are thoughts in of themselves.

Indeed! Now... If I only could live that emotionally... Its one thing to logically know it, and a whole ’nother world to embody it.

There is no one called Trump.

There was no one called Hitler.

There was no one called Buddha.

There is just the Self.

Diminish the thought that believes there are separate entities.

And it will be revealed that there is just the Self.

@Rilles

take it a step further

YOU are Hitler, Buddha, Trump

You are me

You are also You

You are also the animal your body ate for lunch

Who said these beliefs are held by OP?

OP is trying to ask a specific question from a specific perspective and you definitely are not on the same page.

Not choosing thoughts? Hm..

Not choosing to direct thoughts, or to not direct thinking at all? Not choosing to act on thoughts at all?

Is that your experience?

Who is choosing thoughts? Who is choosing to direct them? Who is choosing to act? Can you find any chooser at all? Where is the intermediary between thought and action? Between body and mind?

 

Lets say Trump has a thought: Im going to build a wall -> his body will react to this either with a positive or negative emotion which he will act on, if the emotion is positive he will most likely act, if its negative he wont, is there a choice in that? 

 

Trump is just an example btw, I could have said anyone, just an easy example

then nobody's choosing to blame.

calling blaming delusional is delusional. but saying so is also hypocrite. thus, nothing should be said at all.

@ajasatya it could be said (actually it is the case) that the very starting of this thread is what brought about the indication that such a thread / this thread is off-track.

If I was blaming people for blaming people, yes. That of course would be delusional.

But just to call delusion for what it is is not delusional. Delusion is an inevitable part of life.

This is a place of teaching. If you want to say nothing at all, go live in a cave.
