Reaching The Point Of Sanity

If we can observe and control what we’re thinking, saying and doing, we have reached the point of sanity.

Most of us jump to conclusions, deciding too quickly that something is true or false, when we do not know all the facts in order to be sure. This gives rise to poor or rash decision making, which often causes more harm than benefit.

Cognitive distortion is shaped by a traumatic event(s) in early years that can giving rise to negative beliefs about one’s self and the world, creating further mental distortions.

Being aware of what drives us is the point of sanity. And what drive us? Desire, fear and indifference – which, incidentally, drive the infinite universe through attraction, repulsion and inertia.

When we realise that wisdom is present in the very first instant of these forces occurring, the mind brightens and illumines, and we are fully compos mentis, able to think clearly and be in control, and responsible for our actions.

We are no longer full of hoo-ha,
in a state of excitement, agitation, or disturbance.

Clarity is nothing other than the sanity of pure consciousness,
and there is nothing religious or cultural about it.
