What is most predominant in your mind? As our minds are the “container” or “space” holding our thoughts, it is so vitally important that we observe which thoughts are the most continually recurring thoughts. These are dominant thoughts. If we focus on fewer and fewer thoughts at any one period throughout our day then we are really honing in on our dominants thoughts.
Perhaps imagine your personal power of sitting, resting in stillness with one dominant thought. To hold a dominant thought for any length of time will be the morphing of and as your reality of that dominant thought. Whatever this dominant thought is, is your perception as totality - this is to realize that we as humans do not think multiple thoughts simultaneously. Our thoughts are linear - one at a time. I often think that this plays into out notions and experience of Time itself - or at least our perception of time here on our planet Earth/Gaia. Thoughts can be at such rapid-fire pace within our minds that they might appear to be happening simultaneously, but that is not the case. Do not confuse this with multitasking behavior.
As we might multitask as actions taken, we are functioning from a much more deeply embedded subconscious mind. We can think linear thoughts and multitask as actions taken. Notice though that generally multitasking actions lack an optimal focus. We have linear thoughts going on while there is intent to perform physical actions. Another aspect of multitasking is the(although inattentive) action behavior of partially listening to someone speak and concurrently doing something else - reading on your computer, or any other function. Let’s take a look at how often we might forget attentiveness and consideration while on the phone, listening to someone that believes we are paying undivided attention to all that they are sharing with us, and we are busy in our minds partially listening while doing something else - reading on our computer, tablet, phone or even watching a video etc etc… Where is dominant thought then?
Thoughts can come and go at whatever rate, that we never realize there is a “space” that resides between, or “behind” our thoughts. Your thoughts are very often so relentless that they appear as a tapestry - literally, like a woven tapestry made of a textile material or a blanket woven of many patches of material. We can start to “pull out the threads” so to speak of our ongoing rarely ceasing “tapestry of linear thought. The “patches” as the metaphorical pieces of material in our tapestry or blanket start to separate from one another. When this begins to happen, we can then experience this magnificent “space” between or “behind” our thoughts.
We can now examine that if there are dominant thoughts happening over and over again, and we are operating from “within” this tapestry of tightly woven linear thought, our reality does not have a chance to exist as anything but tightly woven patches of relentless thought - after thought - followed by the same notion as thought. We never escape the reality of these dominant thoughts.
Now, let’s start with the idea that if these relentless thoughts are of a positive and inspiring nature, then our tapestry as the reality we experience will be perceptions of inspiration and a positive way of seeing and being life. As we take this to yet another level of skill and creativity within our personal power, we can start pulling on the threads that hold all these patches of thoughts together. Then we access the boundless space between and behind our thoughts. As we do this and observe all that is going on with our thoughts, we begin to gain a control over our thoughts merely by observing what is happening within our minds. This calms things down and allows choices - deliberate activated choice as to the content we hold within our mind. We are not on an autopilot type of existence as always operating from reacting - a reactive state of awareness.
Work on slowing things down by thinking on this - separating out the “patchwork” that exists as the thought after thought after thought linear tapestry in your mind. Consider what is being “held” as your dominant thought(s). Experiment with “pulling back” as your awareness so that you perceive from an “inner vantage point” of observing your thought. Make this dominant in your mind. Focus on intentionally creating dominant thoughts. In other words - willfully choose the thoughts you think - this is your personal power of Dominant thought(s)!
