Rethoughts

by Jonah Gray

When I explain Rethoughts to someone, I often use the imagery of a tree. To aid in a tree’s growth we prune branches that get in the way. These branches may be diseased, home to pests, or running into each other. By removing the parts that no longer serve the organism we also promote growth in another direction. In many ways Rethoughts is a method of growing, but with an added emphasis on pruning the parts of us that no longer serve us. It is a call to rethink what you are or, more accurately, what you think you are. Welcome to Rethoughts, a revolution of the mind.

  20. Mourning the Relationship

    This is a combination post, the two requests posed as Rethoughts were “addiction vs. love,” and “how to get over a break up,” which I think go hand-in-hand.

ABOUT THIS SHOW

When I explain Rethoughts to someone, I often use the imagery of a tree. To aid in a tree’s growth we prune branches that get in the way. These branches may be diseased, home to pests, or running into each other. By removing the parts that no longer serve the organism we also promote growth in another direction. In many ways Rethoughts is a method of growing, but with an added emphasis on pruning the parts of us that no longer serve us. It is a call to rethink what you are or, more accurately, what you think you are. Welcome to Rethoughts, a revolution of the mind.
