well, most of us here know that we are not our thoughts. Since that mind never really shuts up, you cant do nothing but listen.And when it starts feeding me ************, I just laugh of how stupid the human mind is sometimes. In psychology it is called System 1, or heuristics based thinking. The reason its hard to stop thinking is because our mind is like a domino, lots of associations, and one's you think one thing, another related thing automatically gets activated. All in all that was system 1. Uncontrolled thinking.
System 2, is slow, logical system, which is very accurate. You cannot activate it deliberately, enough hints must be given to you, before your brain activates it manually, with training thou, you can start using it more and more often. The only way is to condition yourself. All in all, I went to far away off topic here, but point is, lol, i forgot. =]
