Happy Thinking vs. Miserable Thinking. Either way, you're in The Now!

- "Often in spiritual circles the mind and thinking has a bad rap, and to me that doesn't make any sense. The only thing that makes sense is that we should make a distinction between happy thinking and miserable thinking. So there is something very sweet because when you say, 'thinking takes me away from the now,' that's bullsh*t! We are always in the Now. It's just that what's going on now is thinking instead of perceiving."

Delightful talk! Consciousness being free from all that goes on within itself (thoughts/feelings/sensations)..Life is indeed a vacation once you realised that you are consciousness!
At the end, there's the most straight forward answer explaining what "free will" is (and isn't)... ❤️
Merci Francis, much love to you.. (From France)
Your commitment to truth -- at the end of the day that's all there is that works.
Priceless.
Absolutely loved this video. Thank you so much for this valuable information. Lots of love from an Australian 🇦🇺❤
seeker: what to do ?
Francis L:
"life becomes vacation because you don't have a goal you see you don't have a goal,
you follow your interest if your thoughts become interesting something even something stupid that's fine
because because ultimately everything is stupid
what is not stupid is to follow your enthusiasm for stupid things"
seeker: thank you very much !
The chat-box and living on auto-pilot, lost in our thoughts, stuffing ourselves and trying desperately to fill the void one damn thing after the other... Identification with the thought process, the narrative of the broken record. That is a question for Eckhart Tolle.
Changing our thoughts for happy ones can lead to day-dreaming, a subtle form of escaping a present that is not good enough as it is, as Rupert Spira says. Welcome everything says Francis Lucille... but not unhappy thoughts. What kind of freedom is that?
This life is your own game. It's consciousness having fun playing at being limited. Thinking is not a prison that you must escape, but your path may be shorter if you avoid associating with thoughts. You are free to have unhappy thoughts, otherwise you would not have them. And if you're done having unhappy thoughts, you can stop.
Wow. So succinct and yet so powerful
I think we have been spoilt by the sound quality that sets Francis's videos apart; it's not often we have poor quality sound on his videos?
So useful!!! Merci!
thank you!
We are not the doers.Although it seems otherwise.Things just happen.
Genius.
I think there was some excellent stuff in the video, but the sound quality made it very difficult to get....
no
The sound production was poor.
Merci parce que je pensais être'le seul à trouver ça chiant.
Thanks because I though I was the only one to find it boring
Can we still be happy while having unhappy thoughts?
When the movie plays and there is an explosion scene, is the screen ever affected ?
When you like the unhappy thoughts ..then yes😌
@@dobmaster8208 I think Francis refers to this in the video as being "twisted". I think I see where you are coming from, not "liking" the thoughts, but being amused by them. Liking the thoughts could be seen as identifying with them.
Say someone is in pain, and you enjoy that. "He deserves that *smirk*". That would be quite twisted.
Being amused by a thought could rather be "I'm fat", and being amused by that thought, as if it would actually mean something. It's not serious, you don't take it seriously.
When I was working in a kindergarten, I actually heard a child ask a big lady in the kindergarten "Who is fatter, you or (...)?"
First the women seemed shocked, briefly. Like it was an offence. But the she just replied "I think I'm a bit bigger than (...). Because it was just objective fact. Nothing harmful or ill meaning behind it. I found that quite beautiful and amusing.
Because the child does not mean it in an abusing, I'll way. It's just a legitimate objective question based on observation.
Anyway, have a great day 🤘😊
Preben Hundven Yeah, i think it is just a matter of identification. In the end, every thought is relative. The question is rather how you feel about it and how much you are identified with this specific thought. So when i say I am happy while having unhappy thoughts it just means not being identified with thoughts which are ,,bad’’ or ,,unhappy’’ in the RELATIVE sense. So you can either be threatend by a thought ( which means identifying with a relative unhappy thought aka thought which threatens your survival) or the other way around aka being happy with the relative thought. Have a great day 💪🏻
