Is this thought mine? Is this thought, this experience mine-or is it a concept from outside?
many experiences are not direct. Think ladder in cage with monkeys. Most thoughts, encounters, experiences, events are passages. Which you have nothing to do with. The interactions with these are their own experiences if experienced within. The inner experience is the experience. There is the uniqueness in e.g. a memory. That’s where authenticity is.

Thinking is a survival tool pur sang. Social engagement system to survive in the collective. So when someone’s thinking gets in the way, overthinking, “cannot stop my mind,” it is clearly a sign the nervous system senses “unsafe. So thinking ramps up. Compulsive Thinking Disorder hahaha. When safe the mind in healthy regulated people slows down.
