The interesting phenomena of thinking as opposed to getting beyond thought is that the mind routinely thinks in a certain routine and uses circular reasoning to cognize the world around it. We do not have the capability to think out of the box of our own thought processes. This means unless we are challenged by the views of others or are able to see beyond our own thoughts we will be trapped in the labyrinth of our own thoughts and reflections. We must some how get out of our own minds and thoughts to understand the universe in a larger more expanded context in relation to the world we live in and in relation to others and a spiritually expansive view. In this sense if we r not careful we can very easily become psychological antiques.... not exploring anything except what we r familiar with and have become accustomed to. In this way we easily can fall into a spiritual stupor and mental rut.
