As I have it, I am not my thoughts.
Thoughts are just data that my brain emits when it is computing information which “I” then choose to focus on and decide if the thoughts are accurate of not.
“I’m the little decision maker inside the meat puppet, listening to my thoughts and deciding if the thoughts are true or false.”
My brain thinks all on its own accord. I will always have thoughts running around in my mind as long as I am alive.
As far as my responsibility goes, I am not responsible for the first thought that enters my mind.
That is just my brain doing what it does, thinking. My thoughts can be influenced by anything or anyone I interact or engage with. I cannot control any of that, therefore, I am not responsible for the intitial thoughts that my brain emits.
Im not even really responsible for my second thought.
My second thought is typically just my brain responding to me asking it, “Uh, hey brain, back up a second, what was that again? Repeat that please.”
My responsibility for my internal thoughts begins at my third thought, the thoughts persuant to that thought and my decision to give those thoughts more energy by continueing to focus on them afterwards.
That’s my take on it, anyway.
