       The only way to get rid of a thought, any thought, no matter what it is, it to stop whacking it with our mallet. We have to allow the thought to play out with no judgment about it whatsoever, by observing it as if it didn’t belong to us, and we will see that overtime it will pass. It’s an incredible thing. My own experience in doing this is that most thoughts will last either 10 or 20 seconds and then pass. Sometimes if one is deeper, it will last longer and require prolonged periods of time and eventually subside. All thoughts though, those we don’t want, can and will subside using this method. This is giving up control of our minds so that we can what? So that we can be more pleasing to God with our thought-life. What does this also get for us? It gets us peace, happiness, joy, and the rest of the positive emotions. We are no longer controlled by our thoughts, no longer at the mercy of them, but by giving up control we truly gain total control.
