What does it mean to be free from thought? Is it the same as being in the moment. Living for today can be a chore when our thoughts only wander from past to future. I cannot understand why the human brain never stops thinking. What drives the brain to continue this incessant chatter and noise? Sometimes I think thoughts hold up the illusion we create for ourselves. The processing never ends, even in our sleep, thoughts continue in our dreams. The mind may sometimes be difficult to manuever but with practice, the mind can be cultivated to focus on one thing, and one thought only. Although this excercise is easier said than done, it does not necessarily take a long time to be focused on a single object. I sometimes play a game telling myself that if I did not understand language or know my ABCs what would my senses be paying attention to? The now I suppose. No labeling, no naming or comparing, just being.
