I tend to agree with Curtis. Realizing one does not think, volitionally, thoughts -- that they come effortlessly, is a good wonderful step,IMO. And you may GET IT the first time you get checked, or 20 years later when you are checked, or when you memorize the checking notes. Or never. Stealth Mahavakya. But attributing thoughts to God -- while nice and poetic, is neither necessary -- or even much of a compliment to God -- if She exists beyond Maya. (And "She" includes the prospect of a totally Gay, Queen God. All possibilities,all possibilities) ((If so, I vote for Lyood on Entourage). If God and Ishwara type exists (and SHE has not walked thru my walls -- nor has Ganesh (btw, did you see the new Albee play, "Waiting for Ganesh"?) then I give them enough credit to be Deist types -- and "exit stage left" -- as did yogi bear -- when they designed this latest gig (aka "creation"). There is no need to posit GOD as thinking your f.. mundane thoughts. OMG, give God a little more credit. If GOD thought your thoughts, the THOUGHTS would so f... blast you to NOTHINGNESS (Jai Sarte) -- its not even polite to imagine the carnage. Thoughts come because of your past mundane attachments. And your reaction to oncoming karma (responses based on learning and education -- again karma-based). And why Randomness and Predetermination are the only two choices -- thats trip down blinders-on thinking. There are SO many more possibilities. So rock on, if you need to get off on the image --and illusion -- of GOD thinking your thoughts (just a bit grandiose and meglomanic are we?) I thought we left maya back at the last train stop.
