Comments on: Thinking, feeling, experiencing – the place of thought http://blog.paradigm-sys.com/archives/290 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 23:15:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Sandy http://blog.paradigm-sys.com/archives/290/comment-page-1#comment-17563 Sandy Mon, 01 Feb 2010 04:06:18 +0000 http://blog.paradigm-sys.com/?p=290#comment-17563 When I was in the NDE place, I felt pretty connected to the light and all that good stuff that you just experience and don’t need to “think” about. Quite honestly, in the NDE place I didn’t have a dialogue going on in my brain with all the noise that people often carry with them. I felt very peaceful and quiet. Not quiet as in an absence of noise, but quiet as in making room for and being open to whatever I might experience. The thing is, when I came back here I didn’t come back with an aversion to thinking. I craved knowledge like a drug. You don’t acquire knowledge without thinking about stuff. Not in this existence anyway. What I did bring back was a habit of being openly quiet. It took me a while to figure that out. I think I have odd experiences simply because I’m open to them, even if I’m not consciously aware of being that way. It’s taken me a lot of thinking to start being OK with my odd experiences. Maybe for other people it takes more time to work on being quietly open. But I’m pretty sure thinking is important too.
