• How to stop thinking

Thinking is a psychological disease, a madness now infecting just about everyone. It is the cause of worry and all unhappiness. I'm assuming you want to get rid of it, that you want to cure yourself. I'm going to show you how. But you must do it for you as I am doing it for me, every moment here and now. You can't learn how to stop thinking, you do it by doing it, here and now. There are 10 lessons. Lesson 1 is all you need really. But if you think you need more, the others are there. They are there simply to stop the thinker in you from panicking by thinking it needs time to understand what I'm saying. This shaky, panicky fear is the disease trying to make you give up what you are doing. Here are some points. First: don't try to understand, just listen. Just listen to what I'm saying and stop thinking. Wanting to understand is thinking. Second: don't try, relax. You can't try to stop thinking. Trying will make you think. Third: play what I'm saying over and over until you get the idea. It will come, but you must not stop to think about it. Listen and do it. And when you are not listening to the tape, don't think about it, do it. Fourth: no theorising. The fifth point is this, and it's most important. The thinker in you is going to think, I'm not saying anything. That's because I'm not giving it anything to think about. If I give it something to think about, you'll be thinking, won't you? Also, you'll hear the thinker being critical and complaining because it can't remember. So be prepared now to hear your own thinker, and all the other thinkers around you who hear this, saying they don't know what I'm saying or that it's nonsense. These people will include your parents, lover, brothers, sisters, partner, friends, boss, workmates, business-associates, and any famous scientist you know, experts, psychiatrists, psychologists, university graduates, therapists, priests, professors, all gifted artists. Everyone who still think some worries. One last point: only the most disturbing truth in the world can stop you thinking. This tape is it. To see someone, you love most, dying in front of you is most disturbing, but it's not enough to stop you thinking. Here, in the practice of stopping thinking all the action is taking place inside you, not outside. You are no longer a spectator. It's you who's doing the dying. So there it is, play it over again and over and over again, but don't think about it. That's lesson 1... Here is lesson 2, if you need it. Have you been thinking about what I've just said, or anything else? How can you think while you are practicing not thinking? Be serious, please. See now, while you are listening that you are not thinking now. And when I stop speaking now, see that you are still not thinking. Here is lesson 3. Are you catching yourself thinking? You will. Are you getting irritated or angry with yourself thinking? You will. But that's good not bad as you think. It means you've begun to not think. Now keep listening, I'm going to explain. When you catch yourself thinking, in that moment you are free of thinking. You've put the first bit of space between you. You've actually separated from it. Otherwise, you couldn't see that you've been thinking. But any emotion of frustration or anger immediately rushes in, and re-attaches you to thinking. You lose your detachment. And off you go, caught again in a vicious circle of thinking. You and I together are now going to break the vicious circle. I'm going to tell you the secret, and by hearing the secret you are going to be able to do it. It may take you time. But once you know the secret, you know the way. And it's only a matter of time before you are there. The secret is in the frustration or irritation you feel. You are judging yourself as having failed. That's being emotional. At the time the emotion seems so natural, doesn't it? So unquestionably normal that you wouldn't think of mentioning it, w
