		<description>Not to worry, Kay, that&#039;s normal.
You have to get out of the &#039;sorting room&#039; and stop actively separating thoughts. Just watch your thoughts like they are scenes on a TV. Read &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/eTQNjM&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this post of mine&lt;/a&gt; to understand this further, then take my &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/55n0Iv&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;free 4-part course&lt;/a&gt;. Persevere and you will definitely succeed!</description>

		<description>I find it difficult separating my thoughts.
It&#039;s hard to figure out the ones made from my fears and the ones that keep me fuctioning practically.</description>

		<description>I appreciate your insightful comment, Aaron. I&#039;d only like to say that if you&#039;re functioning in the world, thoughts necessarily manifest frequently out of sheer necessity. Most of the time, actions which we perform on a day-to-day basis like deciding what to do during the day, deciding what to have for breakfast, evaluating the breakfast, choosing clothes and performing professional tasks all require thought to trigger them and accomplish them. In moments of deep relaxation... well, yes, there are far fewer thoughts then.</description>

		<description>Great post Lucky, I would only disagree that there are seldom moments without thought.

Actually, I&#039;ve found that with training and the right understanding, (ie thoughts happen and are not &#039;you&#039;, nor are they even interesting) thoughts become whispers between long silences.

Losing interest in the conceptual world is easy after soaking in a life of direct experience, unmediated by thought.

Thanks for sharing this,

		<description>This is a great analogy! Yes, we are separate from the stream of thoughts, we are found in the gap, in the silence.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the thoughtful comment. It made me think about how a  better analogy than cars on a freeway would be cars on a major city street. Sometimes the traffic on such a street is thick, sometimes thin, sometimes noisy, sometimes quiet, sometimes disruptive, sometimes with accidents and sometimes totally absent.

Maybe I&#039;ll revise the article with that improvement. If I do, a lot of the credit goes to you!</description>
