Non-Thought: Retrain Your Brain by Bruce King

The first time I attempted to have non-thought I noticed something interesting. My brain did not want me to have non-thought. It kept babbling away at me even as I explained to it that what I was trying to do would be beneficial for it. My brain was having none of it. No matter what I did my brain kept on insisting that I was better off daydreaming or thinking about something, anything, just not nothing. I wondered why that was. You would think that the brain would like to take a rest once in a while.

Try it yourself. Sit down in a quiet room and try to think of nothing for even a few minutes, pretty difficult, right? Now you see what I am up against in my attempts to attain a non-thought state.

Why does the organic brain do this? I believe it is because the idea that you could depend on some other way of thinking, that is to say thinking with your higher consciousness, is interpreted as a threat by your brain. Reaching your higher consciousness through non-thought means getting to a place that is separate from your organic brain, this threatens the brain and therefore the brain wants to resist your awakening to your higher consciousness. Being separated from your organic brain seems like death to your brain. Therefore your brain will prevent you from separating from it. But, don’t get mad at your brain, it has a very sensible reason for resisting non-thought and your awakening to your higher consciousness. It is survival. The survival instinct is what makes your brain resist your awakening. It is simply the fear of death.

The data that the brain is processing is mostly based on self-preservation. There is a security in the babble. For instance: If you repeat something in your head you are less likely to forget it. This may mean a better existence for you or less danger. If I remember to go to the grocery store I will have food to eat. If I remember things about my job it helps me make money, which leads to better clothing, and better shelter, which equals better survival.

So, how do we make friends with our brain? In other words, convince our brain that it not only is not going to die if we attain non-thought, but that it will actually be beneficial to our brain and body?

Bending reality teaches your brain that there is no threat from connecting to your higher consciousness. If you bend reality in a ‘small’ way and everything is okay, you don’t die, then you are retraining your brain. There are also other ways to retrain your brain.
