Many people experience a sense of rage and very strong anger toward their parents and others who hurt them. Ultimately that is also a thought. It doesn__ really exist in this very pure and present moment. It doesn__ really exist. So actually what we are really carrying is nothing but a bunch of thoughts. When we let go of those thoughts then nothing else is required. We are free......Whenever you suffer, whenever you struggle, don__ go outside trying to find out what is wrong with your life. Don__ treat your life like you treat your car. When something is wrong with the car we get out, open the hood, see what__ wrong with the engine, and fix it. But life is not like a car. Life is consciousness. Life is not something outside of us. Therefore whenever we feel that we are suffering, tormented, or challenged we should always look into our consciousness. Immediately we discover that we are having a very evil affair with an evil thought. That__ all there is. Just that thought.Such thoughts always come with a specific idea and with some kind of voice: __ am good. I am bad. I am poor. I don__ have this or that. I am not enlightened._ It is always associate with a concept and a belief system. Until we are awakened to the ultimate truth we are completely ruled by our thoughts. Thoughts are always dictating reality to us. So in that sense thought is the ultimate empire of propaganda. Thought is always coloring and defining reality.
