Any time I experience an unwanted emotion, it is only created by believing a thought in my mind. Each time I identify the thought that is creating my unwanted emotion, I can question whether that thought is true, and discover that I really don’t know whether it is. Once I stop believing a thought to be true, I stop experiencing the emotion that thought created, and I come right back to the inherent peace of the present moment. Each time I disbelieve a thought, that thought rarely ever shows up again in my mind.
No matter what my circumstances are, I am always fulfilled when I don’t have any psychological thoughts or don’t believe my psychological thoughts.
At this point, the thoughts that generally create suffering and discontent for people either don’t arise in my mind or aren’t believed when they do show up. This has left me with a predominantly silent mind, and the virtually uninterrupted experience of peace. No matter what is going on in my life, since no thought about it is believed, I remain feeling peaceful, happy, and whole. This is not some special experience. It is simply the inherent experience of the present moment (what we all had as young children). You can download this free ebook on:
Noah Elkrief has been supporting individual clients to resolve their painful beliefs and emotions for over a decade. His book, "A Guide to The Present Moment", has been downloaded by over 100,000 people and was the #1 Bestselling Counseling book on Amazon. In addition to his private clients, Noah offers online courses, and runs a Youtube channel that has over 200,000 subscribers and over 20 million views.
From the time Noah was just six years old, he started meditating every day. While devoting himself to meditation, Noah also managed to achieve worldly success as he worked on the trading floor at Goldman Sachs in New York, traveled around Europe as a corporate strategy consultant based out of London, and was accepted into the prestigious Mensa society.
In the summer of 2009, Noah's life drastically changed when, in one moment, the vast majority of his thoughts just vanished from his mind. Without almost all of his thoughts, Noah was left with the indescribable experience of peace, freedom, and wholeness that he had always been longing for. As it turned out, this wasn't just a passing experience, and almost all of his thoughts barely attempted to return.
Once Noah's mind had become predominantly silent, any time a new thought entered his mind and tried to create suffering, he could see very clearly how the thought wasn't true. What he discovered was that when he didn't believe his thoughts, his thoughts stopped creating emotions, and they stopped taking his attention. That left Noah with the virtually uninterrupted experience of peace. Noah then left the corporate world to dedicate his life to helping others to live in peace.
This e-book is awesome. Noah is doing a wonderful work. this book is not thought provoking but a thought removal tool. I will surely buy the other book from amazon. It has helped me these 2 days during my reading. I wish i can keep the practice and it becomes my second nature.
