Your thoughts are not you. Your mind , which should be your best tool is taking charge of your emotions and being your master. Your mind should be your servant, like your hand , or feet. You use it when you want it and then keep it when you don't. But on the other hand, your mind produces thoughts , hundreds of thoughts through out a day and those voices make you depress. because majority of those voices are negatives. Why? because for mind, ego is everything. mind just wants to make sure then image of you it has is intact so it keeps sending thoughts to you to confirm your identity. But that is just mind, who are you then if you're not your mind? you're are the soul, you are the part of God. There is a inner stillness inside you. Immense peace. In outer life you're seeking for that peach trying to fill that hole and you trying to accomplish that by job, women, and different kind of pleasure but that whole is only filled by exploring the inner peace. You need to meditate and find that inner peace inside you, that peace is the best, when you have that you have it all in the world and more.
so how do you reach your soul and the inner peace? by shutting your mind. when you mediate slowly the thoughts start slowing down and finally they stop. It is then you will get the glimpse of your inner stillness , the inner peace and finally you can live with it all the time. because once you see it even for a moment, then you know what it is and that it is the only real thing. the best practice is the mindfulness meditation, because it teaches you how to live in the present. When you live in the present, which is the only time that exists. Then you won't worry about future or you won't regret about past. Then your mental chattering will slow down and finally will have no influence on you.

this is what buddha, said, what Eckart tolle, Deepak chopra, and Osho said. the inner stillness and peace is that Jesus and all the major messangers wanted to pass on but over the time was misintrepeted by the people . This is the real essence of every releagion. like the oracles in the delphi said the answer is within you.

Please please please read the book "power of now" by eckhart tolle, it will set you free. see some videos on youtube. Like Osho said, it's right there but you're searching it everywhere and getting depressed and anxious.
remember, if you live in the past, you're living in depression, if you live in future, you're living in anxiety, if you live in present you're happy so , live in present by doing mindfulness.

I was compelled to write this by the good forces of the universe to pass on this message to you. Whether you use it or not it's up to you.
