What does it really mean that I identify with thoughts or thinking?
by Atman Nityananda
Identification with thoughts means, on the one hand, that they attract all our attention and we forget ourselves in them and thus lose contact with the silent presence of the inner Self, and, on the other hand, that we find identity in them, that we perceive them as ourselves or as part of ourselves.
It also means that we take them as reality, that what we think equals reality.
