Mental Loop

Mental loop

We judge,…. that is what we do, it means nothing unless we give meaning to it by believing it is true, that there really is a profound “right or wrong”, like an invisible universal standard that applies to all of us……this is the power of thought, seeing things that just aren’t there.

Our judgement is the source of unhappiness, when things don’t appear as (we think) they should be.

Funny thing is that it is thinking itself, that creates this unhappiness, and by its relentless “chatter” it almost convinces us that the external “failure” we think to see is the source of the unhappiness,……but in reality it is the other way round….

To gain more power, thinking enters a loop, a vicious circle, …..it starts judging its own judging….

This is a perfect recipe for a depression to kick in ….. uncontrollable thinking: a Mental Loop.
