Fair comment....and I am. I am the only person who can do this. I take responsibility for myself, my life and how I live it (most of the time).
I do not always know how I want it to be, but I know how I don't want it to me, and change those aspects.
Actually, I do not need to change it, but I choose to. Why is there a need there?
(A lot of "I" in this)

I know, disregarded the first bit as when I read it, it generates conflicting emotions. It is too ambiguous a statement and requires discussion before consideration.
In other words, it needs pinning down.

Ah.
Thing is the threads are for meditating on not reasoning.
Ok. Probably failing at the first hurdle.....but how do you meditate on a thought wthout thinking? (I just don't understand the idea, and so how do I put it into practice?)

Now to answer this one.
You do not meditate on thinking.
You simply watch your thoughts whilst in a relaxed state.
Don't hold them or dissect them or try to interpret them. Just watch them and let them go. _________________ Please visit our main site
I need some help here
To meditate on the thread, are we saying that is a starting point from which I allow my thoughts to drift?
How does that differ from thinking?
I feel I probably ought to just try it and see, but I kind of need a nudge in the right direction,
(I know, am hard work, but I don't know what to do)

Have a look at my last post and forget the threads for now.
