Its like dreaming, but the dream is your life.
Testing every scenario, looking at all outcomes, just trying to align one's self. Quieting it may be good for the teacher, bad for the listener.

sometimes talking is gold and silence is silver, yet at times, it may as well be the other way round. :wink:
I can't stop thinking, from the very moment i wake to the moment i sleep thoughts rush in, fantasies, planning, ideas, memories, problems, solutions, worries and so on, my mind is always extremely restless.
Like ophiuchus said, the unenlightened mind.
I'm doing meditation and that helps me a lot, but when i stop meditating for a week i'm back to my "normal" restless mind, i have ADHD so i guess i can blame it to that, on the other hand not really, allmost all people have this compulsive thinking problem, so i dunno, it's just human i assume.
Especially on LSD it is completely impossible, my brain feels like cooking then, i expect to see steam coming out of my ears all the time, that can be very annoying, caffeine and weed can do the same, but far more less extreme.
Mushrooms are a little more gentle, and DMT makes me think slower then ussual, with a nice calm afterglow, but again thoughts arise, but mostly i seem to be very poetic and philosophic for abut 20 minutes.

why don't you silence your mind permanently? it sounds as if you suffer from your own disability to stop your proprietary thoughts. or is it more that you suffer from directly experiencing the thoughts?? maybe you should try to find your center. you can do that with meditation, too.
you can change at will, but if the will is lacking, it's like you want to make a fire, but don't have wood or anything other combustible at hand or you have wood but nothing to spark the fire. so what you want to achieve is inner piece, because in that state or place, is where can you find the calmness to make clear decisisons for your life, if that's what you search for. intention precedes change. thought precedes action. so lighten up. you can only be enlightened, if you are in the now. past and future are illusions, that the mind loves to dive into and drag your attention to it.
treat your mind like a dog and maybe as you know without at least some severity, dogs are prone to misbehaving, like if you allow it to beg food from you, it will always come back and even get perky if you suddenly stop giving it food. burn your neurotic machine, what you call mind. let the light of your consciousness shine! with raising the level of your self-discipline, the changes you want to see are more probable to manifest in your reality. good luck! 8)

Hey, wow, i love the way you put things down, have you ever heard of Mindfulness?
It's exactly as you say, it teaches you to live in the now, and not in the past or future, i managed to do so for a good while, but it took me a lot of practice, at least 20 minutes of meditation a day, but more was actually ideal, let's say an hour.
I could do all that cause i was unemployed, but now that i work again, long days 10 to 12 hours a day i kinda dropped my meditaion cause it felt like i hadno time anymore, and slowly my thoughts became raging in again.
And now it's like non stop, not so bad like before i started my Mindfulness course, but yet enough to suck my energy levels dry.
I suffer from direct thoughts indeed, they pop up, i process them and another pops up, when i try to empty my mind fresh thoughts pop up, but i know i kinda provoke them myself, but my mind is very weak at times, and sometimes seems uncapable of stopping the thoughtstream, although, i know it's possible, i did it before.
Damn, i really should start meditating again, thanks for opening my eyes with you great thread and advice.
Peace.

awesome! yeah i heard about mindfulness. it's about believing in yourself. because at some point you might actually, actively have to do something for influencing your "reality of thought" or your "thought of reality"?...well, while sleep is mostly resting time for the body, meditation is resting time for the mind. that being said, your working condition seems to have negative effects you perhaps can't completely cope with, without meditation. so just give your mind some attention from time to time and loosen the tension. let the thoughts flow, just be there. try to be "present" as if you were watching your mind like a dog's house with a dog in it. be watchful! :idea:
you should love your mind, just like you should love your body. if you can't, you can try to find reasons to do so, freely.
hm or try to practice the "direction" of the thoughts. cuz as it seems to be, you suffer from "direct thoughts" after all. and maybe time is also a direction... not sure... anyway... also maybe your mind (probably like most of humanity's) is a bit obsessed with time, which makes it go in natural conflict with work. if that makes any sense? you decide. :shock: :lol:

there's not so much an actual need for meditation, of course it's better and more efficient, but one of the most important things is to pay attention throughout the day. the mind is a good serf, but it's a terrible master.
there's a book you will love, the power of now by eckhart tolle, this guy is damn straightforward concerning these thematics.

It does make sense, even the dog part. 
Mindfulness is a lot about in the now, and not in the past or future, and especially about trying to accept whatever is happening in that moment, from the moment you accept things it can change a lot sometimes.
But the meditation is a very important part of it, and now i know why again.
I even sleep better when i meditate, it's a healing practice for the minds and aswell for the body, since all are connected.
Thanks again.

that book sounds interesting banana. thanks for the tip.
yes, the less one is mindful, the more one becomes distracted. meditation is a good way to help recognize alot of the symptoms, but only mindfulness, reminded throughout the day, will start to alleviate these symptoms. you have to carry those helpful elements back from the meditation into normal waking life. frequency of this determines the level of "success"
