THE PROCESS OF THOUGHT and NON-THOUGHT...
The brain, a God-Given, holds the abilities, we would not normally think to use. Our bodies respond to our thoughts by instinct. We think to move a coffee cup across a table, and our bodies respond to those thoughts, or our wishes.
Why, do babies move their bodies? Is it thought response, a reaction, or reflexes? Is it simply exercise? Does it take time to realize they can hold a spoon, or grab a toy, by desiring to do so, or thinking about doing it, then, learning to manage their own movement.
We think to stand still, and our bodies do so, unless we have little self control, or ability to manage our own behaviors.
Why can some manage their behaviors, better than others?
What is the process of thought? How does it work? Why does it effect our entire bodies.
Why do we retain thought? How do we manage what we do retain? Why don't we get that education, on how to manage our memories, or past thought?
Why are some past thoughts so haunting to our present moments, and lives?
Why are some thoughts or memories, --tied to the present, --if they are not beneficial to our present moment?
Why are our minds, so full of those stored thoughts? Why don't we know where to put them for storage, so we do not have them interfering with our present moments?
Why aren't we taught what to do, with our thoughts?
When we are working in an office, we learn how to file, but in life, we have a filing system that is overloaded, and a total mess of tangle. Nothing seems to have it's proper place, and when we are in a position when we must try to eliminate those extra thought interferences, (like in church) we get very tired, disturbed by boredom, when we are simply to let go of all else, we can't!
What is boredom, --an empty mind, that does not know what to think? Or do?
Why are we so frustrated by an empty mind of thought? Perhaps you are not used to it, or you do not know what to do with it!
Do nothing! Learn how to do nothing!
In that frustration of boredom, you can learn! Seek the un-known! It is --out there.
So you ask:-"What is out there?" And I answer! "Everything!"
You may ask, --"So how can you get everything, from nothing?"
And I would answer, --"Because it is out there!"
All thought is energy, positive, or negative. It is also out there, regardless of just how much you try to hold on to your old thought, as your very own (owned) thought.
So you are saying that 'by non-thought, --we have contact with all thought?' ---"Yes!"
'How can that be', you say. We, as the un-educated, will have ego issues'. We hold on, to the 'I', as our own identification. The 'I' wants recognition! The 'I' says, --'I' am important! Recognize me, for who 'I am'...
When we do this, we limit ourselves, to what we know, what we have experienced, our own memories.
As a very bright friend once said, "it is like we as an ego, we are looking through a tiny hole in a sheet of plywood."
We think that our own world is the all, when in fact, we are only separating ourselves from the world of the ALL, that's on the other side of the plywood.
We need to learn that it is better to just drop our guard of self (our ego), and stop limiting ourselves to what we know or remember. You must learn to trust, that it (your memory or life experiences) --will not be lost! It will be added to the universe that is so full of thought, in fact, that it --is sacred. Do we really hold anything sacred anymore?
It is time to do so!
We can connect with the all, by letting go, --of the me! You will not loose anything. You will gain it all!
So what does this have to do with horses, and riding?
Horses are absolutely connected --to the all --and they easily recognize those who also do this.
Many horses will give me a double-take or glance, almost asking --you know? I respond with a spiritual --yes. Then they give a blow-down, a sign of trust, relaxation, and relief! That is natural when working with nature... The horse will also say --thank you by their spiritual language.
I have seen this often, when I relieve them of rider abuse (by education) and/or re-adjustment of uncomfortable equipment. The horse will look right into my eyes, then touch me, then a 'soft' blow down. Their eyes say volumes to the 'ALL-spirit' --knowing coach. (non-thought)
THAT, is just ONE of the things, --that we need to learn from them!
So, you see, ---
Non-thought connects us to all thought!
As you become more experienced, as an Equine/Rider Consultant and Coach, you will grow in your understanding, and trust of the 'un-known' the all, waiting for us to ask!
Ask, and you will receive! Knock, and the door will open!
It is you that must make that first move, to ask or knock.
As your coach, I just turn your shoulders to that door!
Maybe then, --you will meet the real Coach.
The process of non-thought, is to feel or absorb -spiritually! (It's like osmosis)
