Today, I remembered... comes from the view that we don't really learn or create new ideas as often as we think we do. We (the "real" we, not the people we pretend to be in the world) actually remember things we already knew. Sometimes, we just get too busy playing our various life roles that we forget to remember what's important.

Today, I remembered...
it only hurts when I think.
Strange, magical day, weekend actually. I've spent a lot of time in
this really calm, observant yet immersed state.
Earlier, I was temporarily pulled out of this lovely, natural state by
thinking my usual littany (for me anyway) of; what do I want, what
do I need, am I contributing enough to the world, blah, bah, blah...
Thankfully I was pulled out of this familiar morass with the powerful
truth that my "thinking" self, my ego, is not what's important here.
What's important is the soul.
I was once again reminded of how the ego is much like an ignorant
child, full of wants and unspeakable fears, all woven into an illusion,
arbitrary and silly.
I started to feel the customary tension/unease that goes with this type
of thinking but quickly realized this pain was not necessary nor real.
It's just a conditioned response, a bad habit.
Voila! It only hurts when we think.
Voila! It only hurts when we think.
