About this listen

This podcast is a discussion of Joseph Nguyen's book "Don't Believe Everything You Think," centers on the premise that human psychological and emotional suffering stems solely from thinking, not from external events. Nguyen, influenced by Sydney Banks' Three Principles (Universal Mind, Consciousness, and Thought), argues that thoughts are natural and creative, while "thinking" actively engaging with and judging thoughts is destructive and the root of suffering. His book emphasizes that positive emotions are our natural state, accessible through "non-thinking," a state of flow and intuition where one connects with infinite intelligence. It explores how to foster this state, for instance, by distinguishing between goals born from desperation (thinking-driven) and those from inspiration (thought-driven), and by creating environments conducive to clarity. Ultimately, this podcast encourages listeners to cultivate awareness of their thinking patterns to alleviate suffering and access an inherent state of peace, joy, and love.
