Are all thoughts useless?

Hi,

Title says everything.

No, not useless. Having thoughts is a defining trait of being a sophisticated human being. Integrated enlightened beings still have thoughts. What you might call useless is the identification with the illusionary thinker. The little being behind the eyes that is coming up with the thoughts. When you gradually let go of that identification you will notice that the content of appearing thoughts become less 'compulsive' and actually more efficient.

@Psyche_92
The question is, is there anything that is useful in the first place? All those judgements you have about things are only thoughts manifested as believes, there is just being, percieving.

@Psyche_92 If they were useless, they wouldn't have evolved.

What about the concept of Mushin (empty mind) or Ultra-Instinct?

No-mind is useful too, in a different way.

You guys should watch Dragonball Super and Goku's Ultra Instinct form. The Angel of the God Destruction explains of attaining complete instinct in all your movements.

Is the thought wondering if all thoughts are useless useful?

[Joseph Maynor]

If so, what does that do to the thought that all thoughts are useless?

Thought are usefull, but you'd probably be more happy without them.
