“What a liberation to realize that the “voice in my head” is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that.” – Eckhart Tolle
I often listen to Sadhguru, he is a Yogi, mystic and visionary. Here’s my thoughts on Conscious Choosing.
My experience in life is constantly being generated from within. What I generate within, reflects in my world. When I am generating unconscious thoughts, beliefs and fears, they become a magnet to the outside world and head my way.
When I am not consciously choosing, I end up allowing someone else to choose. Meaning, I only feel happy when others make me happy, or when things go my way; or I become upset and unhappy when someone does something to me, or when I do not receive what I want.
We all have a vivid sense of memory and a vivid sense of imagination, but if I stay stuck in the memories of my past, in my grief and pain, or stay trapped in my fear of the future, I will suffer.
When I consciously practice choosing which thoughts I listen to and which thoughts I let go of, I become the observer of my life and expand. When I expand, I learn to see a deeper, clearer version of myself and the truth.
“The cave you fear to enter, holds the treasure you seek.” Joseph Campbell.

Thankyou Alan! I was wondering about the debate between the term conscience and conscious? As a teacher are both correct? 🙏🏻
Conscience. Jimeny Cricket said, Let your conscience be your guide. If we are not conscious of truth, how then can our conscience determine right from wrong?
Wonderful 🙏🏻
Wonderful post and something I try to do but do not always achieve is to make conscious choices. It is more difficult that it first appears.
Yes definitely harder than it seems Elizabeth! I call it “Mind training” and it requires a daily practice 💚
Beautiful and enlightning.
Thankyou Nico, I appreciate your comments 🙏🏻
This is so helpful to live in happiness Karen and also to live in the moment 🙂
It really is the answer, I agree Irene. Thankyou 💚
When not consciously choosing we attract whatever comes to our thoughts. I truly believe it works that way – seen enough evidence 🙂 Love this post, including the quotes!
Thankyou Helen. I have seen enough evidence too! Have a great day 💚
Reblogged this on Loving Me, Too and commented:
We can consciously choose loving thoughts.
Thankyou Joanna 💚
You are welcome! I need reminders of this!
Me too 🙏🏻
sweetly encourages
to make
a choice, Karen 🙂
Thankyou David 🙏🏻
Karen I really resonated with this, does Sadhgur have a book? Thanks for sharing.
If you Google Sadhguru it will come up with all his utube talks and yoga posts and I’m not sure if he has written a book. He always inspires me and has a lot of wisdom. Have a great day! 😎
