Basically because there is unhealed energy present within your being.

Your energy gives rise to your thoughts and your thoughts alter your energy. They are inseparable.

Much of our energy is unconscious (we're unaware of it) and running on autopilot. Enlightenment isn't a self-improvement course. It's not a positive thinking class. It has nothing to do with your thoughts although the energy of your thoughts may certainly change as a by-product of your awakening.

Awakening is about bringing awareness to the fullness of what you are and seeing beyond your identity as a limited self.

Awareness itself is the most powerful transformative tool you have. What you resist persists. aka, what you go unconscious to and are unwilling to face and bring awareness to, that's what persists. On the other hand, what you look at disappears. By shining the light of awareness on your darkness and facing your inner demons and fears, awareness itself automatically transmutes the energy back into light.

So the key is to SEE. Bring awareness to your darkness. See yourself as you actually are, without judging any aspect of what is seen. Accept it and love it. Be open, honest, and sincere about what is. Want to see the Truth more than you want to be right, feel safe, or be comfortable. You gotta want to see Reality. When you want it bad enough and are willing to face the darkness within, you will see the Light that was always there, the being that you truly are.

Basically it is you who is thinking these thoughts and it is you who is feeling the emotions. Yes it probably is your own evil but you're not so bad. If you have a right to be angry, then be angry. If you have a reason to feel hatred, then feel the hatred. These 'dark' influences are there for you to choose and it is through the darkness you can choose who you want to be.

Do you vent this anger on another? Do you act out your hatred on another? Your decision.

Its clear you would like to be rid of these thoughts. Keep your focus and be easy on yourself. Forgive yourself for having them.

My idea is that we have old habits that tap into the mass consciousness to reinforce our old habits.

Refocus on your next best thought. Any thought that feels better is your next best thought.

Don't give up! Just keep refocusing.

Why bad thoughts pop in the mind?

The reason is behind struggling with them. Struggle and they continue to be there to be fulfilled. Accept, be fully aware of them without again thinking as if they are bad, then they pop up, finish its course towards fulfillment, and disappear for good. Look, listen at thoughts and their interpretation by other thoughts for what it IS... just thoughts that you are the witness of.

Be fully aware every moment. At that instant no thoughts can have power over you.
