Our Thoughts Are Not Real

"The thought appears in front of and within only you. Without the juice of your attention, it simply disappears without a trace… If you don't engage with, or entertain that thought, it will literally not exist. The thought appears only within you. Your friend knows nothing of it. And making it even stranger, you did not even have the thought that you are calling "yours." Rather, it appeared to and within your awareness, without your ever choosing it or asking it to show up! If that thought is not fueled with your attention or interest, it will already have disappeared." - Nancy Colier, LCSW, Rev
