MIND AND YOU

                                  FREEING YOURSELF FROM YOUR MIND

     WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU MEAN BY WATCHING THE THINKER?

    WHEN SOMEONE GOES TO THE DOCTOR AND SAYS, I HEAR VOICE IN MY HEAD, HE OR SHE WILL MOST LIKELY BE SENT TO A PSYCHIATRIST. THE FACT IS THAT, IN A VERY SIMILAR WAY, VIRTUALLY EVERONE HEARS A VOICE, OR SEVERAL VOICES, IN THEIR HEAD ALL THE TIME. THE INVOLUNTARY THOUGHT PROCESSES THAT YOU DON'T REALIZE YOU HAVE THE POWER TO STOP. CONTINUOUS MONOLOGUES OR DIALOGUES.

       YOU HAVE PROBABLY COME ACROSS " MAD" PEOPLE IN THE STREET INCESANTLY TALKING OR MUTTERING TO THEMSELVES. WELL THAT'S NOT MUCH DIFFERENT FROM WHAT YOU AND ALL OTHER "NORMAL" PEOPLE DO, EXCEPT YOU DON'T DO IT OUT LOUD. THE VOICE COMMENTS, SPECULATES, JUDGES, COMPARES, COMPLAINS, LIKES, DISLIKES, AND SO ON. THE VOICE ISN'T NECESSARILY RELEVANT TO THE SITUATION YOU FIND YOURSELF IN AT THE TIME, IT MAY BE REVIVING THE RECENT OR DISTANT PASTOR REHEARSING OR IMAGINING POSSIBLE FUTURE SITUATIONS. HERE IT OFTEN IMAGINES THINGS GOING WRONG AND NEGATIVE OUTCOMES. THIS IS CALLED WORRY. SOMETINES THIS SOUNDTRACK IS ACCOMPANIED BY VISUAL IMAGES OR "MENTAL MOVIES"
