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