Just read Talks by Krishnamurti in India 1967, starting on this topic beginning on pg 52, then on pg 53 this:
“Now all life is energy, it is an endless movement. And that energy in its movement creates a pattern which is based on self-protection and security– that is, survival. Energy, movement, getting caught in a pattern of survival, and the repeating of that pattern–this is the beginning of thought. Thought is matter. Energy as movement, that movement caught in the pattern of survival and the repetition of survival in the sense of pleasure, of fear–that is the beginning of thought.”

It seems to me thoughts always lag behind what’s happening or what’s going on. I’ve enjoyed them a whole lot more ever since I came to value them as commentaries on things — rather than value them as I would the things themselves.

Thanks green, good thoughts. I’ve tried psychedelics fairly often, but am still working on Ayahuasca.

cheers,

Your brain is sort of like a computer in that there are loads of processes going on at once – heartbeat, breathing, a childhood memory, what to have for dinner later – even if you aren’t conscious of them. There is what I can only describe as a ‘function’ or ‘framework’ into which the most important thought at any one time is placed, and the framework is like the mind. Whatever is in it, we experience.
(Try some psychedelics like mushrooms or, if you want to see your mind dismantled and laid out for you to see in its entirety, good and bad, Ayahuasca.)
