I made a mistake.
I meant to say:
There is freedom of thought, and there is freedom from thought
'thoughts, (Ego), is our greatest religion'
'thinking is our greatest religion'Sorry for my poor English.
Let me explane.
It is sometimes difficult to know what is meant by ego.
I see thinking and ego as the same phenomenon.
We can think about something, then thoughts are a kind of tool to create something, or to solve a problem.
But there is also a constant stream of thoughts that we cannot stop.
And there is the I, thought that is linked to the I, feeling.
The I, thought is the ego.
The I thought or ego, consists of a whole complex of thoughts and feelings.
It is not who we are.
It's a fake I.
(Fake news)
The one that looks at it al (consciousness) is who we really are.
In one way or another, consciousness is completely confiscated, by the thoughts that arise in us.
It is indentified with it.
And that is where all problems come from.
We are so identified with and attached to our thoughts, that we think it's the reality.
We no longer see the reality of things, we see our thoughts about it.
Thinking is a delusion, we let madness rule.
look at trump, you don't find it recognizable how he rules?
Is it not exacly or verry simmelar the way tingking rules our live,s?
It is becource he is identified with tinking too...
There is no awareness or truth whatsoever in thinking. But we value it as much and even more so than the well-known religions.
I don't expect you to get this. you may understand, but understanding is something of the mind.
And again, sorry for my poor English.
