Tending The Garden of Your Mind

A question from a recent Reheat weekend: are thoughts powerful, or aren't they?Both. And the distinction can give you hope, return you to a position of power.When you're identified with a thought, it runs (or ruins) you. When you can observe it, it loses grip on your behaviour. Same thought, different relationship.Some of Marcus Aurelius, the Cypriot mystic Daskalos, and a book I read recently "The Red Lion" - and landing on something simple, but not easy: the thoughts running your life are ones you nourished in their creation. Which means you also have a hand in what stays. You return to agency.
