trying to control thoughts

"Trying to control the process

limits the possibilities of what can happen in your life."

This sentence leaped out at me while reading The Path Of Least Resistance (page 218.) I thought about how I try to control the thoughts in my mind, how I try to control other people by judging them.

For years I have had violent images appear in my mind. Other thoughts also bother me. I am experimenting with remembering the above quotation, letting go of trying not to think things. It seems to make a big difference.
