INSIGHT-It is insight that is the catalyst for psychological and emotional change and insight should be a relatively simple thing for us to get to but it isn't and it isn't because our heads are full of psychological knowledge, psychological knowledge that is based solely on judgements. We are told to think and be positive in the face of psychological adversity but thinking positively doesn't address psychological and emotional discord and never has and indeed does nothing except allow psychological and emotional discord to fester because there is no such thing as positive thinking. Positive thinking is just another attempt at us trying to exercise power and control over our thinking processes and is based on hope, optimism and "fingers crossed" than anything else and depending on hope, optimism and "fingers crossed" as a solution to any psychological and emotional disturbance isn't practical... Thinking has its own functionality and operation which is of time and measure, time being yesterday, today and tomorrow and measure being judgements, comparisons, conclusions and opinions and positive thinking or negative thinking plays no part in thought's functionality of time and measure. It is insight and not positive thinking that is the solution to psychological and emotional discord... 1.Insight 2.The way we think causes us suffering 3.Moving into the other dimension in which thought plays no part 4.Through insight we are always learning 5.In the understanding that thought cannot solve the problem of conflict, violence and suffering we look elsewhere 6.What we are is the image that we have of ourselves 7.Thought does not make for stillness and silence 8.The human mind can only function and operate at its optimal capacity when it functions and operates without any effort 9.What is meditation? 10.It is fear that makes for psychological and emotional dependency, attachment and addiction 11.Coming to conclusions all the time makes for stubbornness and obstinacy 12.If we don't open the curtains, we won't see the light
