…and on and on and on – that’s where obsessiveness starts in our heads with an idea turned into a thought and then emotional thought.
The thought turns into action which eventually becomes “who we think we are”.
Therein lies the problem.
The original Thought.
What then became an Obsession was constant thinking or bringing to mind that original thought.
This became our dominant “illusion”.
It’s the nearest state to what we shall call “Possession”.
This word does not indicate someone evil, it is just to show they are not in control of who they think they are.
Every “illusion” is also a lesser type of possession but the quotation marks shall, in our discussion, help us to understand the strength in the “illusion”.
After a while it turns into compulsive obsession.
The Thought is permanently lodged as if it’s stuck there.
It’s a bit like a broken record, it goes on and on and on.
Many people who, when their “illusion” gets tired or bored, move onto its next obsession and the cycle continues.
This will continue until we have had enough of the pain it gives or we die.
It’s plain to see as each reader here has experience of this in their own lives.
We usually see it in others which is interesting. It’s interesting that our “illusion” will never admit to having an obsession other than to play the part of the victim.
Then it says that it was some past experience that was the fault of someone or something else.
This is where PSYCHEGNOSIS must be involved or any change will not be permanent.
This is the case in a person who believes they are an alcoholic.
After realising they had an obsession with alcohol and drinking they then become obsessive about telling everyone so.
It is true they have given up one obsession but they have simply changed obsessions.
They go to Alcoholic Anonomous meeting as much as five times a day.
This is where they reinforce the “illusion” by repeating these or similar words “MY NAME IS BILL – I’M AN ALCOHOLIC”.
If you say you are something constantly guess what happens?
Yes, you become what you say!
Hopefully those who belong to the A.A do not take offence.
There is no doubt that it was better to have given up the drinking obsession than remain a drunk.
The Thinking got you there and only by not thinking can anyone be released.
