[0:56] overthinking is the art of creating problems it don't exist see you must realize one thing the mind is a great servant but a dangerous master and the problem is you are probably being controlled by your mind but if you want to end your overthinking once and for all then you are in the right place watch this video to the end once upon a ### Taming the Horse Story [1:17] time there was a king who had the most beautiful but very wild horse now this horse could not be tamed the king decreed that he would handsomely reward anybody who could subdue his stallion many people tried with all their strength but none was strong enough to overcome the animal even the mightiest were thrown off and injured well some time passed until one day the king saw the horse meekly obeying some newcomers instructions the King was amazed and demanded to know how this man has succeeded where so many had failed the horse Tamer replied well King instead of fighting your stallion I simply let him run free to his heart's content and eventually became fatigued and submissive it was then no problem to befriend your horse and gain command now your mind is just like that horse if you fight and wrestle with it you will never achieve Mastery over it so you must adopt the wise horse Tamer method let ### The Wise Horse Tamers Method [2:14] the Mind follow its impulses and tendencies without restriction until it becomes ready and willing to accept our Authority give the Mind free reign don't suppress it merely watch it and get to know it you see to quiet the Mind by ### Don't Force the Mind [2:29] fourest is as pointless as trying to flatten out the ocean by force right you just make more waves what you resist will persist so the secret is do not try ### The Secret of the Mind [2:38] to stop the waves but allow the waves because the nature of the ocean is to have waves and the nature of your mind is to have thoughts you can't think your way out of overthinking it is only by ### Full Stop Subdues the Mind [2:50] stopping right a full stop place your attention back in a pure present awareness State and the mind will automatically steal because you are no longer feeding it with your attention you're no longer Making Waves present awareness is the answer there's an ### Buddha Story [3:08] ancient story from the Buddha and a reporter he goes up to the Buddha and asks him sir are you a God to which the Buddha says no the reporter asks okay are you a saint the Buddha says no the reporter then says what are you I am awareness there's another story where it ### Awareness Story [3:24] was the master's Day of Silence and a traveler had begged for a Word of Wisdom something that would guide him through his journey now the master he nodded and took out a sheet of paper and wrote a single word on it handed it to him awareness the visitor he was confused sir this is too brief what does this mean could you please expand on it a bit the master took the paper back and wrote awareness awareness but what do these words mean said the stranger helplessly the master reached out for the paper and wrote awareness awareness means awareness see we live in a world of always doing and fixing which is why ### Stop Fixing Yourself [4:08] I love Anthony demello's book which is titled quite boldly stop fixing yourself in this book he says simply be aware of yourself and things naturally fix themselves now how do we cultivate this awareness how do we do it well it's ### How to Cultivate Awareness [4:24] not a doing as much as it is a being you have to know who you are and I don't ### Know who you are beyond thought [4:28] mean with a thought you see a thought about a tree is not a tree it's a thought about God is not God it's and so a thought about you is not you it's see who you are is prior to thought you see most people live their lives believing that they are ### You are NOT the voice in your head [4:48] the voice in their head right this chatter box but that's not true and most people they never investigate they've taken it on as fact as true but you are not the voice in your head because if you were then who is observing the voice in your head because anything you can observe you cannot be this is why the Zen monks have ### If you see the Buddha... [5:09] a riddle that goes if you see the Buddha on the road what do you do and the answer is kill him because if the Buddha is anything observable or outside of you it is not you it is an illusion it is not truth in order to tame the monkey mind or the elephant of our mind we must simply watch it from the standpoint of awareness as Consciousness and here's the important part you must ### Watch the Good Thoughts & Bad Thoughts [5:33] watch the good thoughts and the bad thoughts right the good thoughts especially they are seductive right they can trap you right what starts off is nectar can eventually become poison so watch both because none of them are you who you are is the pure witness before a thought because you observe the coming and going of all thoughts so you must be prior to thoughts there's a story that comes from the Indian Sage Raman Mahari ### Ramana Maharshi Story [6:00] many years ago there was a traveler who had taken about three flights to India to get to India he had to go up a mountain and he finally found this man this Guru named Ramana Mahari and so after a few weeks he finally gets a chance to sit with ran Mahari and talk to him when he sits with him he asks him he says Romana Master can you tell me who I am and Romana he looks at him and he says go back to where you came and this shocked the man right it shocked everybody who was in the room they say h go back to where you came this is this man took all of these flights and traveled all this way to see you and you say go back to where he came how insensitive but what he meant by go back to where you came go back to that place before ideas before you created an identity of who you think you are before the stories go back before all of that go back back before thoughts go back to where you came now I love this story because what happens when you go back well you find out without a ### You are NOT Thoughts [7:09] doubt that you are not the thoughts anything You observe cannot be you see the brain is not a Creator it is a receiver and I'll prove it to you close ### Can you predict your next thought? [7:18] your eyes take a deep breath now tell me what your next thought is going to be go ahead pause this video and do it you see what you find is it is impossible to predict your next thought because you didn't create it so when you say my thoughts that's actually incorrect because it's not yours it simply came to you narad Maharaj said the problem is you think you have thoughts no thoughts happen they're like farts they just kind of pop up you know this we all intuitively know this is why when you forget something you say oh it'll come back it will come back right you know you're not creating it you are receiving it a close disciple of Raman Mahari said whatever kind of thought arises have the same reaction not me not my business it can be a good thought or bad thought treat them the same way I love the analogy of the Moon see the moon appears ### The Moon and Your Thoughts [8:18] to give off its own light but upon investigation you find out that the moon has no light of its own the sun is the source which gives it its power and just like that the Mind appears to give off its own energy but it gets its power from Consciousness some call it the self the Mind appears to be in control but you oxygenate it you give your mind life with your attention one of the most powerful techniques is a phrase from Raman Mahari he says ask yourself to ### Self Inquiry [8:48] whom do these thoughts come to I sat for weeks months doing this asking myself to whom do these thoughts come to after many weeks after many months the question itself it seemed to disappear and I was simply present no thought no me no idea of me this is a very powerful pointing if you stick with it when you do this you find out what you think you are not you see you have a body ### You are the Awareness [9:18] are you are not you see you have a body but you are not the body there is something that observes the aging process of the body that itself doesn't age your awareness of Aging hasn't aged you had the same awareness when you were two as when you were 22 it's the awareness that we want to stay with you see you you have a mind you are not the mind there is something that can observe the thinking process that must be before the thoughts happen and the final tip I want to give you is what happens when you do these practices you ### Why do you Overthink? [9:50] see a cultivation of trust a trust in the way things are you see the intensity of your overthinking is in direct proportion to the intensity of your desire for a certain outcome it is the attachment to the outcome that creates overthinking but once you realize that all is well and unfolding as it should you find peace you find ### King Story "All is Well" [10:11] as it should you find peace in the now many years ago there was a king and the King had many counselors but one counselor in particular he loved he trusted very dearly and this counselor would always tell the king say King all is well and unfolding as it should right he would say now the other counsel they absolutely hated that this counselor had such a close relationship to the King right they were jealous so one day the king he was getting his Royal haircut and the Royal Barber nicked the king as he was shaving his beard freak accident almost hit a vein and the King he had to get stitches right well the other counselors they knew this was their moment to sabotage the other counselor so they waited until everybody was together and they asked the close councilman they said what do you think of the king's uh almost tragic accident and the counselor said he said well yeah what do I think all is well and unfolding as it should the king got upset he's like what all is well and unfolding as it should what do you mean I almost died all this blood came out I have permanent scar stitches guards lock him up lock him in the the darkest deepest dungeon quite a reaction well later that day the king he was so upset he wanted to just clear his mind so he would often take his horse out and just ride you know just to kind of get into flow and just go out and get into nature and so he rode his horse he rode he rode he lost track of where he was and pretty soon he was outside of his kingdom and he was in a Land of the cannibals and before he looked up to recognize where he was he got snatched off of his horse by a cannibal well they tie the King up and later that night they're going to what cannibals do they eat people so they tie them up and they get ready to roast them and before they put him over the fire one of the cannibals he looks at the king's neck and he sees a scar and he says oh we can't sacrifice him he's not worthy of our Gods we can't eat him he's impure let him go so the king he takes his horse and he finds takes it and he rides he rides back to the castle and he's thinking he's like oh man my counselor was right had I not got this scar they would have surely eaten me so he says he gets to the castle and he says guards let him out of the jail you know what I will go I will let him out give me the key so he goes down to the deepest darkest dungeon where he left his counselor and he opens the gate and he says counselor you were right I when I took my horse out I I got attacked I got captured by these cannibals and they were going to eat me but they saw the scar so they didn't even me you were right all is well and unfolding as it should and the counselor he was just in his cell he was in meditation and he said yeah but that's not all king and the King says well what do you mean he says well who is the one who normally accompanies you on Horseback when you want to free your mind says you are he says yes that's right and had you not thrown me in this deep dark dungeon I would have been there with you and they would have sacrificed me instead all is well and unfolding as it should so I want to leave you with a practice it is one of my most powerful practices to awaken to this awareness to come into presence it's a technique that particularly aligns with the Western mentally focused mind and it is called NTI netti so NTI netti is a Sanskrit ### Neti Neti Practice [13:46] term meaning not this in layman's terms it means that if you want to know who you are then you have not and discard it you see anything you think you are not because it is simply a thought observed by you now when you do this you come to a place of Silence you don't find the answer the question spontaneously combusts and you are left with silence and as the great Sufi poet ### Rumi Quote [14:15] roomy said silence is the language of God all else is poor translation so practice this with me I want you to sit ### Self Inquiry Meditation [14:23] comfortably in a quiet place relax your shoulders allow your eyes to close take a deep breath and as you breathe in think to yourself I am and as you exhale think to yourself here so I want you to repeat this for a few minutes you breathe in I am you breathe out here I am here notice how your mind and spirit respond to this simple declaration now without using your thoughts associations perceptions emotions or memories are you black are you white are you neither are you a man are you a woman or neither are you uh spiritual being are you a human being or neither start observing the voice in your head going on blah blah speaking without your permission do not feed into these thoughts and do not reject them simply observe them come to a state of relaxed nowness the feeling of beingness Simply become the pure Observer the witness the background ### Stay as the Pure Observer [15:40] without trying to change anything do not even try to translate your thoughts into words just stay in the silence the space by which Sensations flow your Birthright come home to a place that you never left
