Thinking

"Whatever you have done is through spontaneity, because the Unconscious has helped you, has given you the idea, the inspiration; you have done everything through in spirit and not by your own thinking. Now, there we do not want to agree, because we have to give up our ego, because we think we have achieved it through our thinking. But when you think too much, too much, too much, like that, then what happens? The Unconscious gives you the necessary information because it has compassion, it just has love for you and suddenly you find something there. You are just pushed into that corner where you find it, and for this you must know it is Einstein is the person who says that the theory of relativity dawned on him from somewhere unknown; whatever is known is already there. And whatever is unknown you cannot find out by this brain which is thinking, but by the brain which is enlightened."
