I know there is an activity center in the center of the brain, which randomly fires impulses in all different directions of the brain.
It is keeping the brain from shutting down itself.
Brain neurons are connected the way that a thought needs to start from somewhere.
No induction/initiation - no involuntary thought.
The associative thinking seem also to start as a cause of that activity center, when two or more random independent thought chains are being randomly initiated and come together eventually, at the bottom of the chains, causing cross-thinking.
This gives me a nice excuse why I'm restless and need to think all the time.
I cannot close eyes in a dark room and have no thought.
My brain is just working as usual -- I like it so.
- Zelphyr 6y agoTrying to not have a thought is one of, in not the biggest misconceptions about meditation. You can’t turn your brain off. It’s going to think. That’s what it does. The point is to notice those thoughts in a nonjudgmental way. See them for what they are: ephemeral and passing. Practicing that has a great many benefits, not least of which is an increased sense of well-being.
