Therefore they return to us over and over, so that we can remove the load which we have placed upon them, which should not be there. A loaded thought puts things out of balance with us. It creates a resistance which our body does not want, and because everything within our being strives for balance, it keeps returning to be addressed. This is why we should not fight negative or fearful thoughts, because we need to heal them, de-potentiate them and restore them to their correct status. So we remove their power by noticing them when they arise and allowing them to pass through our mind, like clouds in the sky, whilst we remain in peace, totally unmoved and unaffected by their presence. We don't engage with the content of the thought, we just simply observe its presence. This simple process of non-reactivity de-potentiates any loaded thought, so that it no longer has any charge, any power, any significance, or influence upon us, upon the emotional and physical state of our body.
