You are incapable of being mindful of your thoughts.
You are your thoughts.
You can’t look at your thoughts with your thoughts.
If a person tries to see themselves they will imagine what they are and what they want to change.
But the person is trying to change themselves with themselves. They are still themselves.
We’re all up in here shouting “Well i’ll just not be me!” How can you not be yourself?
This is awesome! Being mindful of our minds with our minds, avante garde.
Not that we won’t change or anything, but that comes like the seasons throughout time and experience. All of a sudden it’s just there, it happens naturally within, and then you are well. Then the good part, the endless spring, not that there won’t be winters for the lovers of ice, it’s just different winters, heavenly winters.
So a twenty year old who knows not will try to behold themselves in folly and then change something they imagine about themselves but it’s a change coming from their own thoughts which don’t know anything and are entirely incapable of looking at themselves.
