I hold onto profound statements and repeat them daily to myself. How to stop?

[Andrewww]

Though some are gems/really deep I feel like I'm over doing with the mental masturbation an would like to let go for some release and not constantly be craving for my mind to be blown.

@Andrewww can you give me some examples of so called profound statements?

[Inliytened1]

Nothing wrong with profound statements resonating with you.  But if all you are doing is obsessing about them then that is your probably your ego trying to flip things around on you so that you become stuck in a trap and never actually align with Truth.  So go meta on these thoughts and proceed with your meditation and spiritual work.

I would try to grasp the reason for you repeating the profound statements to yourself. What is it achieving? What are you trying to do? What is the outcome effected by this? 

Don't try to change it straight away, just try to understand it. This will only work if you're truly honest and don't automatically tag along with all your emotional distortion. If emotions are there then notice that, but don't let them warp what's true for you.
