This class is an excerpt from an Ekstasis Institute class. To join our school and find out more information, go to http://www.ekstasisinstitute.org. Your life will never be the same.
This teaching is a continuation of our previously released episode "Discover the Essence Beyond Thought." Though this episode is a standalone experience, we encourage you to listen to the previous episode if you find yourself having difficulty tracking with what is discussed in this episode.
Just because you think a thought does not mean that that thought is you or that it even belongs to you. So much of the discomfort and misery experienced in people's lives comes from not recognizing that we are in control of our mind. We are not the mind, but our essence fills the mind and the body. No longer will your thoughts dictate to you how you feel and who you are, no longer will they control you. You will learn to move beyond the thoughts and into realizing Spirit.
This teaching is a must-listen for those learning about meditation. Silas Valentine breaks down some of his own journey at a foundational level in living the contemplative life and moving from the place of perceiving and feeling thoughts, letting them dictate you existence to observing them, knowing your authority over them and allowing them to pass without.
