Let Go Of Thought

Have you ever noticed how one day everything feels off and the next day, even though everything is the same you can deal with it?

I have noticed this innumerable times throughout my life. How my thinking creates my reality - my relationship to the present moment.

When I find myself in a state of suffering or resistance, it is always because I have fallen into the trap of believing in what my thoughts and emotions are saying about the present, the past or the future. I have bought in to what they are saying and I am trying to "figure it out". 

It is like being in a movie theater and getting involved in the plot to such a degree that I think that it is real. The dream becomes a reality.

Thought can invent any number of realities. Realities that are fearful, pleasurable, excited, sad, grim, hopeful - the list is endless. But what do those realities have to do with truth?

What is truth? 

I have found that thought is a generator of realities but those realities have nothing to do with truth.

Truth cannot be touched by thought. Thought can only generate shadows. 

Let go of thought and perhaps truth is there.
