This morning in the Silence of meditation thoughts would not let me be, again. But this time it was worse.
This morning an awareness of JOY and gloom hit me at the same time.
The intellectual horror of what my hands have been writing to make me laugh suddenly dawned on me.
I have been writing, and then laughing at: "there is no such think as thinking."
It suddenly dawned on me that it is impossible and yet it was obvious. But it is impossible. And the more impossible it gets – that there is no such thing as thinking – the more obvious Laughter makes it.
And then a thought/word hit me that put this word “obvious” into pure perspective: SELF-evident.
It became Self-evident that if each one of us could control our thinking there would be absolutely no order, not only for all the order in the universe but also all its conflict and chaos.
If thinking was “free” – if there was no order to thinking – if we could think what “we” wanted: then there would be no identifiable chaos and disorder because there would be only noise that could not even be defined as “thoughts.”
The only way to put this word SELF-evident into perspective is with Quantum Physics/Chemistry and its Periodic Table.
If particles could do as they wanted – if there were no quantum gaps – then there would be no Periodic Table, and then there would be no metals and non-metals, and then some: NOT ONLY WOULD THERE BE NO METALS AND NON-METALS BUT THERE WOULD NOT EVEN BE THE CHAOS AND DISORDER WE NEED METALS AND NON-METALS TO GET.
Without the Periodic Table we would have, at best, neutrons that couldn’t even split into protons-electrons let alone atoms because you need the order of quantum-gaps of Quantum Physics to get protons (and antiprotons) and their electrons before you can get atoms let alone molecules.
SO TOO – EXACTLY – with thoughts. If the mind could be free with its thoughts – if the mind could think what it wants; or, if there was such a thing as thinking -- then we would only have “noise” that could not never be organized into something we could call: thoughts.
There can be no such thing as thinking, and as impossible/insane as it sounds it is as SELF-evident as is Quantum Physics’ Periodic Table.
And yes: this means that if there was such a thing as thinking then we would not have any sleep-dreams .. and then some: we would not be able to dream that we wake up in the morning.
And this is the Supreme Truth that is as SELF-evident as is Quantum Physics.
