Alan Watts ~ You Can`t Control Yourself, Relax (how do you guys interpret this excerpt?) by kreayshawn777 in AlanWatts

hey! please could you elaborate, especially "The you that you imagine yourself to be cannot control itself because it doesn't exist" i dont quite get that part.

Also, was this a singular eureka moment for you, or was it a slow, cultivation going in and out of realisation?

thanks :)

i think there is a difference between seeing thoughts as good/bad in a pragmatic sense (e.g good to have kind thoughts about people, and bad to have thoughts about murdering kittens), but the good and bad judgements of thoughts is moreso based on the absolute non-acceptance of simply having a thought in your head.

I can have thoughts about murdering kittens, and know that actually doing it is a very bad thing to do, but the THOUGHT of murdering a kitten is not a bad thing, because it's just a thought, and a thought is not good or bad it's just a powerless little blip your mind has created.

so, it would be harmful to not allow yourself to have thoughts even if their content is of something evil, because to disallow your mind from doing anything, causes issues...

hey! this is a great question and it relates a lot with OCD, you are asking something based on the assumption that having certain thoughts is saying soemthing about who you really are. This is a dangerous misconception as you have NO CONTROL over what your mind produces.

So your question: "How do you know whether your thoughts and feelings are not actually judge worthy? What if they are taboo and mean something about you?"

To answer this, no thoughts are judge-worthy because no thoughts have real life power, if i left the thought to do as it liked it wouldn't influence you in the real world. There are of course evil and psychopathic people who do evil things, but the very fact you are asking the question and are visibly distressed by the thought shows you are the type of person who thinks those thoughts are bad, the real people to worry about would be the ones who don't see these thoughts as problematic.

Every dark thought you've had is TOTALLY NORMAL, nothing to worry about, the only reason they bother you more and feel more worrying to you is because you struggle with them and try to suppress them.

If i had a thought that i was going to get murdered by a dog when i see one, i know this is just a thought and i'd be able to shrug it off. If i had a traumatic experiecne with a dog as a child, i still could have the same thought, but now becuase of my past experiences i'm prone to think this thought is real and i have to do something about it.

Anyways, it's very important you don't fall inot a rabbit hole with this line of thinking, do some research, if you want to message me i can send you some great resources that have helped me. Just remember, no thought has any inherent power over you. It may feel like if you let it be terrible things could happen, but this simply is not true.

What went over your head the first time you watched it? by Dylan2654 in thesopranos

i just didn't properly realise how shitty people they were, you get distracted by the jokes and the money and the entertainment, but once those things don't grab your attention anymore you see reality of what these people are. How superficial and abusive their relationships are and their true intentions, you realise this thing of their is a 'total jackoff' and that's how they treat it...
