Introduction
This topic is something of an unknown because it is not commonly
spoken of. Mainly because it is very unpleasant and nobody wants to hear that
content. Plus speaking about one’s thought is not always convenient among those
who do not know you well and you have not built up a level of trust with them
This topic is more something that only the person him or
herself knows about. However, this certainly does not mean that everyone knows
how to effectively deal with such thoughts.
In effect, this post is limited, because it can not state
things like: ‘everyone has these thoughts’, or that ‘these thoughts are common’,
rather this post will reach its maximum usefulness by explaining how to deal
with them.
Things to Know About These Thoughts
The following points are helpful to be aware of:
One
First of all it is just a thought, it is not happening and
you are not doing it.
Two
Each thought comes from a thinker, that is there is an ego
behind those thoughts. Remove the thinker and the thoughts disappear. Meaning the
thoughts can be modified. They are not permanent.
Three
The thoughts come from an ego, and you as essence are
pristine and clear of corruption or damage. However you conditioned a piece of
that essence in violence, and that piece has to be unravelled.
Four
Thoughts denounce a certain will or intention. This is the
key, remove the intention or will and there is no reason for the thoughts and images.
Five
Thoughts contain images and those images are from the messy
stockpile of memories of the things that we have seen in movies, books, magazines
and even the things we have imagined while hearing about this and that event.
Six
Thoughts come and go. If they persist they will just keep
coming and going more often. They are not a problem, if we let them go and see
them as birds that fly across the sky leaving no mark or trace we have taken a tremendous
step. We have separated from them and there is no more panic, self-deprecation,
worry etc. but work to be done to eliminate the ego that thinks them.
Dealing with Them
1. - Be Strong – It is Only a Thought – Do not Get Scared, Face them with Serene
Openness
It is the power of one willing to be serene in the face of
these violent thoughts that overcomes them. Not tensing up, making a face,
clenching our fists, grinding our teeth, but pouring our effort and will into
being serene.
2. - Recognise the Content of the Thoughts in Memory
Seeing how the images are snippets of things we have seen or
heard or imagined helps a lot because then we can see the mechanical nature of
it, and it is so much easier then to separate from.
3. - Point of Injustice
Violence deep down is all about injustice. Behind every
violent thought there is some injustice or there was injustice that first originated
the thoughts and perhaps now the thoughts are just mechanical replays.
The injustice supplies the intention and will of the thought.
This is really the hard part because we have to search deeply
and widely within ourselves and within the thought.
Please note, this injustice may not be always about what
another has done to you, it could be about what we have done to another or what
we have done to ourselves as well.
Know the Thought’s Reason
Once you recognise the reason of the thought whether it may
be to compensate for an injustice suffered, or to cover a fear, or to cover a
mistake that we made, etc. we then need to constantly displace the reason for
that thought., telling ourselves we can deal with that injustice in a different,
way by dissolving the factor that created the injustice in us or by dissolving the
ego that has caused us that pain.
When we see that others never hurt us but we do it to ourselves
we can dislodge that injustice from our interior and with that, the reason for
the thoughts will weaken and so will the power behind the thoughts also weaken.
Displace the reason and KRIM.
Pray to the Divine Mother with serenity explain how we can no
displace the reason for the thought and then begging her to eliminate the ego
or egos behind those thoughts.
Conclusion
Doing this will definitely change our nature, making us
softer, kinder, more good willed and more intelligent. As it takes a good
degree of intelligence to solve things without violence.
In the absence of violent thoughts, we can really begin to
see it possible to develop the compassionate heart and a kindness and warmth
that is untainted with interest and is open to all.
