As you observe the thoughts they disappear, but more come, more come, and even when you’re finished with them from this life, they’ll come to you from a previous life. It never stops. So you have to keep asking the question, “To whom do they come? To whom do they come?” And keep observing and follow the I thought, and doing nothing, and one day it will all be gone, and you’ll be free. But you have to have patience and persistence. Remember, it took us so many years to be the way we are, screwy, crazy, insane. So now it’s going to take a long time, perhaps, to get over it. But don’t worry about it, because we’re all hell bent for heaven whether we like it or not. Everybody gets there, sooner or later. Our job is to be relaxed and calm, peaceful, to observe ourselves, not to react to conditions. Remember, every condition that comes upon you is karmic in nature. It’s no accident. When you react to a condition, all you’re doing is accruing more karma for yourself and it will never end. The secret is to just watch, to observe the situation, and not react.
