Getting Out Of Thoughts

 A thought is an idea, the idea of something that belongs to the perception of the objective world.

Philosophy is often concerned with the most general questions about the nature of thoughts and things: What is the nature of beauty and ugliness? What knowledge is really required? Where do moral action and good affirmations come from? Such questions can be asked of many specific fields, with the result that there are fields for aesthetics, philosophy of science, ethics, epistemology and metaphysics ...The philosophy of concept is particularly concerned with fairly general questions about the nature of mental phenomena: for example, what is the nature of thought, feeling, perception, consciousness, and sensory experience? What? The philosophy of this concept reflects the nature of mental phenomena and concerns consciousness, the body and the physical world. 

A concept is a component of an idea supplemented by a feeling or sentiment. Generally, this refers to a proposition that is supplemented by the words that express the thought or proposition. A person who thinks desert is uninhabitable has the concept of desert, and the concept of uninhabitable. A distinction must be made between the message format code and the concept. Depending on what a point of thought and proposal is, one can make further distinctions between the means of representation that can be used to represent a concept. The largest and most diverse levels of conceptual states are those that involve various relationships with thought: these are the states commonly described as verbs that take affective modifiers as their direct objectivity. Thus, while the direct objects of verbs such as touch or motivate are standard physical objects, the direct objects of verbs such as belief, hope or wish are clauses selected by that clause. When the concept is an emotional complement, such as a wish, an expectation... standing in relation to a proposition or sentence, this is when the concept can be defined as the meaning of the emotional complement-that is, the desire to become oneself. This is an attitude suggested by the concept itself.

From states that take the sensory complement as a direct object and make it a definite relationship, and want to become has become a definite attribute of the proposition 'I', the idea always starts in the state of continuation. Physics includes the fundamental principles of matter; earth, air, fire and water were characteristic substances in ancient times; energy, chemical elements, and subatomic particles are more modern examples. Many philosophers have suggested that thought involves a particular substance; however, matter which is the objects of the idea are only the objects they are commonly called objects, tables, chairs, earth, rocks, planets, stars and human and animal bodies, and among countless other things. Physicists sometimes discuss more about unobservable matter, such as molecules, atoms, and subatomic particles. And psychologists have posited unobservable substances as drives, instincts, memory traces, egos, and hypersonic. All of these are objects in the philosophical sense of mind and conceptual image.

Most objects are likely located in a particular space and time. Some objects clearly are not in space or time. In the end it's a square root of + 9, which is 3; otherwise, the square root of +1 does not exist. But the square root of 9 is not in any particular part of space, it is almost entirely outside time, neither existing nor escaping it. Objects of this type are called abstract; and the same for thinking. Some concepts are considered abstract because they only appear through imagination like a cow jumping over the moon. This is only in one person's concept but not another.

Buddhism says all sentient beings are born from thoughts. As sperm decades ago, we could not have evolved into the humans we are today if our parents had not thought about it. We are created from thoughts, attachments, from the seeds of old thinking. We pass through the process, grow and develop ideas, and carry on from life to life.

The basic thoughts include good and bad. Thoughts that are beneficial and blessed for oneself and others (and sentient beings) are called positive thoughts (the ten virtues): Keep the body to three: Do not kill, do not steal, do not commit adultery, do not lie, and do not drink alcohol. Keep the speech to four: No lying, no backstabbing, no evil, and no slander. Keep the mind with three things: no greed, no anger, and no wrong views); the opposite is Evil. However, when the concept is implemented, it can be quantified as good and bad. The system of beliefs and laws of religion, politics and society are all based on actions to reward goodness and evil, except for inadvertently (such as being crazy); the sentence can be reduced to doing things contrary to moral principles.

There are moral or cultural principles of one place that do not belong to another. In the US, even though Muslim women do not cover their faces on the streets, they still wear scarves on their heads; this is like the statue of Maria. No one has the right to 'comment' on their shawls. They have their own ideas of freedom. In the concept of freedom, people's ideas do not have specific principles, not infringe or hurt themselves and others. Mahatma Gandhi also took a more realistic, updated view: "One eye for one eye only creates blindness for the whole world."

Religion precepts are moral principles that guide people towards pure thinking. However, the idea of 'pure' is still questioned by some, which has led to many religions being open about sexual relations by allowing their teachers to get married (like Protestantism). As the principal virtue of Buddhism, monastics are expected to live a celibate, virtuous life; breaking the erotic precept is considered to be the biggest crime (extreme evil) in the four Pārajika dharmas. If you violate other precepts, you are still a Bhikkhu; However, if you violate Pārajika, you have lost the essence of the Sangha and are no longer qualified to be ordained and liberated. The concept of precepts is the pure moral foundation of the Sangha for monastic life, as well as the 5 precepts for lay people. As for the bodhisattva precepts, whenever a thought arises, he breaks the precept.

Thinking is an idea, and having an idea is the root of the desire that no one can see, only you can see yourself. People have not stopped thinking about themselves, so they still perceive themselves and interact with people, and then the feeling of like and dislike. I like women because I am a man and because women are different from me; I like men because I am a woman and because men are different from me… that's all; Attractions and principles of yin and yang are always attractive, there is nothing mysterious in men or women. At night, a dim light from the house emits a mysterious look, and people inside the house see nothing strange.

There are many people who question: "If there is no thought of your parents' desire, how can you be born naturally, and then you are against that thought?" Someone replied: "I don't want to be a human anymore, it's too painful..!" Thus, when we are not bound by thoughts, it means we are no longer reeling in samsara.

Keeping the precepts without the idea of keeping them is really liberating. A chapter in Sutra 42 states: "Think without thinking, speak without speaking, practice without practicing..." (佛言。吾法念無念念。行無行行。言無言言。修無修修。會者近爾。迷者遠乎。言語道斷。非物所拘。差之毫釐。失之須臾 (佛說四十二章經), so it's not dependent on a concept. Ideas are maintained by a nervous memory system, very fragile entities; Clinging to ideas, clinging to ideas is deceit, 'the most terrible deception is self-deception' (Plato)

Looking at everything with a view of correlation, equality and no difference, we will not be covered by ideas, prejudices, deceive us, not enslaved even by our own thoughts. This is the person who has wisdom.
