What is left, when you stop thinking ?

You see ? No one is able to respond. Hahahahahaha.

We don't know because we have never stopped thinking. If one has stopped thinking, it would be out of their capacity to respond.

Actually, we stop thinking so many uncountable times daily. You can stop thinking right now and you can actually tell me if you are a product of your mind, or if the mind is a product of your interactions with environment. Let's hope someone gets the drift, if not, I will step in to analyze this for our discussions.

i don't think it's possible to stop thinking

It is. Just try for a minute to stop thinking. The mind is always on a chatter, chatting here and there. But ignore all chatter and noises and be blank. Then tell me what is left when you stop thinking. There is something happening that defines what you are outside of the noise of the mind and its compartments.

CONSCIOUSNESS

When I stopped thinking I became conscious of my heartbeat, my environment, I was present( like in the present moment as in, NOW), I could hear sounds clearly. I could feel like my mind is different from my body.

Awesome. This present moment, this NOW, is your happiest moment in life. Stay in the now. That, which observed the chatters of the mind, is the dancer and you are the dance. You got lost in your creation, yet you sensed your presence in the ever present NOW.

The challenge is, how do one stay in the NOW? because I was just in the present(now) for some minutes before my thinking (mind) took over and I lost concentration. How can a person live in the NOW continuously?

Good morning

Focus, intensity, control and discipline. If you continually try, you will eventually master it and then you have become master of your thoughts and ofcourse your mind. You become the supervisor of your thoughts and the observer of your mind. You become more than your mind, because you are not your mind, you are more than your mind.

very true but i disagree on your last statement though, the mind is Your spirit.

The moment you stop thinking, you start discovering SELF - Your true nature and person starts it's manifestation. Sometimes, we confuse our identity through the believe that we're the product of mind. However, it will be worthy to note that the mind is nothing but a restriction. It distracts us from PURPOSE. The mind is always on an endless meaningless chatter. One of your treasured moment should be the moment of loneliness and meditation. That moment is the only moment where your mind is put to rest and something greater, taking control. Initially, it might seem impossible to stop thinking, but as you thread on, it becomes easier. Hello billyonaire, longest time.

I sight you dear brother on the journey of life.

Even if you "stop thinking" and you are focused on the NOW...

When u hear ur heart beat, ur mind is still thinking on d rhythm of ur heart beating.

I dont believe u can 100% stop thinking however, u can become more quieter in mind with less tots.

are you me with another monicker? cuz what you wrote was what I was about to write

its impossible to stop thinking, its like radiation, it cannot read 0 on the Geiger muller counter because there's always background radiation but this hasn't stopped movies showing the device displaying absolute zero

Yea bro.. You're one of the reasons i come online lol.. It's hard to get a friend that reasons beyond.

Lol. You just talk like someone yet to be exposed to terrific abilities. Do you know that you can consciously lower the rate of your body metabolism? Do you know that you can at will, stop your heart beat for minutes? When it comes to Self development, i give it all to Buddha monks. In fact, they are closer to the truth than xtians. Nothing is impossible bro.. You can't imagine out of reality.

Your mind can be on pause mode, to wash down SELF with unspeakable peace. Mediation varies in dept, and the more advance you are determines your minds activity. Nothing is impossible.

What are the benefits of focusing on now or switching off your thinking

I would hope that no one ever stops thinking/reasoning..cause we've been given brains for a reason.
If someone does stop "thinking", then (to me) that would mean that a person would be either brain-dead or under hypnosis....which means some human or entity is controlling the person.
That's very dangerous.

Actually it's a tricky ideology the notion of stopping thinking: when a 'thinking' happens, the 'oga at the top' (you, Soul) simply didn't use his beloved 'eye glasses' (mind) that time. At that moment my sister,if you are Satan, better not come close cause you risk becoming blinded by its light...

The "trickyness" I was hinting at is that I think the mind is capable of 'continuing' a little thanks to the grooves or templates it created due to constant use. Think of it as a light cut off from its source but glitters till it wane. That being said, for an action to be called a thought or a 'thinking', it's only valid so long as the attention of the thinker is on the mind...whatever thinking was done without the attention of the thinker is baseless and effete. This is what I think

Ok..ummm...I'm usually not confused easily....but umm this right here
I may have to come back and re-read this post again...
You know...simplicity is a good thing sometimes...
I thank you for responding in a decent way

denziz:

I think that's how you achieve at-one-ment with reality. Reason is the mind creates illusion of its own. To see past that, you have to 'abandon' the mind in a sense...as in detachment and not completely getting rid of the mind...the logic is that when you are at sympathy with any creation of the mind, you can't 'overcome' it in a sense,be it illusion, an attraction, or a worry.
It's exemplified in Jackie Chan''s advice in the movie 'The Forbidden Kingdom' to his student: Learn everything, forget everything, find your own", it's what Billy says in "delearn" everything.

So in switching of your thinking, you're 'delearning everything to find your own in Soul, in spirit and in truth...More if you got questions Sire

OK lol...sorry if I might have confused you...

I guess it's the "oga at the top" part,
this is it: When you think, 'your soul' actually used a browser called the mind....and the discussion is about what happens should 'your soul' not use the 'browser'

I saw that ur worried of being attacked, then I said you are more powerful when you are 'not using the mind'...that is, when you know that you and your mind are two separate entities...that moment you can observe your mind standing on the balcony

The possibility of stopping thought process, is a conscious one. And that which is left is encoded message in the memory.

It's encoded because you consciously instructed the temporary stoppage.

The human conscious and subconscious component are sensors, which continuously interact with sensory input from countless sources.

The sensors are at work per the minutest time measurements possible.

So, what is left after imposing momentary "stop" on thought process, IS THE CONSCIOUS DECISION TO MOMENTARILY STOP THINKING (you're bugged with this decision until you decide otherwise).

Based on this, you actually didn't stop thinking. Because you're holding in dynamic state, the very thought of the decision to momentarily hold your thoughts.

Is it related to the 'Power of Now' by Tolle Eckhart? 'Being'...'you are not your mind'

It may seem like a 'conscious' decision in the beginning but with practice through methods like mindfulness meditation you could discover that the mind is different...It's like the difference between a child and an adult. A child doesn't worry about anything because they don't think not until they are taught how to. The mind tells us who we ought to be and who we think we are but that's not entirely true. All we will ever have is now, the present nothing else...the future is just a thought of expectation/desire/fear/insecurities that might never be and the past is gone, forever. And like the Buddha says 'The cause of suffering is desire' I think it's possible to stop thinking perhaps deep thinking. I try to and it works you literally might discover when 'your mind is playing tricks'

How is that even possible huh

I know Eckhart, great guy, but I havent had the time to read his works, but remember, truth does not change, if Eckhart says same thing, then there is a light bulb lighting up in my head.

This very concept of trichotomous segregation of human, applies in metaphysical knowledge.

The neurophysiological concept, which studies human as psychosomatic entity, is Scientifically robust and productively beneficial, to a healthy interrelationship of human beings and their environments.

It's wrong to say

"A child doesn't worry about anything because they don't think not until they are taught how to".

Ability to think is not taught, it's innate. Thinking process is a neurochemical mechanism.
