Our thoughts are not only ours... collective consciousness ...

Our thoughts are connected through the collective consciousness and then again through group collectives, area collective, etc. not to mention all the theta wave programs that deposit thoughts, and so forth and so on, do not fall into the trap of believing that you can somehow STOP your thoughts, you can certainly learn techniques to assist you in becoming more aware and more mindful of thoughts, or to be an observer of thoughts, you can even learn how to not build upon thoughts, or to hold a thought for several minutes but stopping them? Not happening!!!
