Thoughts are either related to
some joyful experiences that you
had in the past and want to have
in the future, or painful
experiences that you had in the
past and don't want to have
again. Even at the time of some
serious problem,you will
suddenly have a positive thought.
Even in the peak of joy, you will
have some unconnected negative
thought. Each thought is
completely independent,
completely unconnected to the
previous thought. That is why
you are able to have a happy
thought amidst sad thoughts and
vice versa.
Understand that no two thoughts
are logically connected. No
thought is responsible for the
creation of another thought.
They all appear randomly,
independently, and illogically.
How do you 'unclutch' from this
random stream of thoughts? We
will be using the word 'unclutch'
again and again. Let's clearly
define what is meant by
'unclutch'.
When we change gears while driving a
car, whether we change from first to
second, or second to third, or any gear
for that matter, we have to pass
through neutral every time. We have
to completely de-press the clutch, or
'unclutch', move through neutral, and
only then we can go to the next gear,
right? In the same way, we experience
a neutral space between any two
thoughts in our mind..
