Observing thoughts

Observing thoughts is an interesting game.Today I learnt that thoughts are much better perceived if I sit with my eyes not looking into anything.So for ex. if I am driving or watching television then it is impossible to discern thoughts from what is going on. However, if I am just sitting and looking out of the window or just looking at television (not watching it) then I can see it much better.Same as with hearing etc. I can be engrossed in observing thoughts when I am consciously listening to music etc. Just a few things to be kept in mind.

Thought to create something new

I just learnt a new thing about my behavior. I want to build something that can sustain time and at least be an example. Something like starting a company that grows by leaps and bounds or helping develop some company and be its core members. I know that with increased responsibilities, life also becomes complex but I cannot just avoid this thought. It comes back to me again and again but now I am going to carefully (read with awareness) observe it as it comes up. Just following scriptures...

Fears of the mind

There are so many fears in the mind. In fact, I believe what we actually project in our behavior is something different and is covered under many fears and thoughts. What I am going to do is to start posting out little things that have taken some toll on my mind. I feel at some point indirectly or directly these thoughts have affected the behavior. I am not saying it did affect me in a good or bad way, but I am just going to follow what the great saints have said : To uncover the truth you have to dig deep through the false. It is a long battle. And unless I document what I will see, the fun would be reduced.So in the next few weeks there should be more about the hidden thoughts in this forum.
