How A Person With Bipolar Thinks: Beyond Thinking
People often ponder how a person with bipolar thinks. However, let’s reframe the question. Thinking is driven by bipolarity – a strange revelation that unfolds as we delve into the intricacies of the human mind.
Information
To comprehend this phenomenon and how a person with bipolar thinks, we must explore three fundamental concepts: personality, information, and thoughts. Our personality is an amalgamation of genetic data, DNA, and sensory input. It is a kind of software directing our thoughts and actions.
This collection of information defines our identity, making it inseparable from our thoughts. Thus, our identity, tied to information, propels us into a tumultuous ride of thoughts. This creates the highs and lows we associate with bipolar disorder. (Read about individuality)
Dual Thoughts
Delving deeper into the realm of thoughts, we find that they thrive on duality, constantly oscillating between opposites. Positive-negative, sadness-happiness – these dualities are the building blocks of our mental landscape. Just as love and hate coexist on the same coin, our thoughts are interwoven with bipolarity. Unfortunately, thoughts and personality, is seen as intelligence in today’s world. And once we see something as intelligence, we cannot stop it, or drop it.(Read about ups-downs of existence)
Dis-Idenify
The identity we form through information influxes our minds with thoughts, governing our emotional landscape. Contrary to the notion that ups and downs are intrinsic to life, they are, in reality, facets of our information-bound persona. The key to liberation lies in dis-identifying with this information and connecting with an intelligence unsullied by memory.
Some call it god, others term it consciousness – I choose to call it life. This intelligence transcends the limitations of our information-driven existence. It offers a pathway to a more profound understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Information is always gathered, and what we gather can be ours, but can never be us!

Unsullied By Information Intelligence
Understanding the interplay of personality, information, and thoughts provides a unique perspective on the nature of bipolar thinking. Our personalities, shaped by a continuous influx of information, are like software dictating the ebb and flow of our thoughts.
Imagine a scenario where you dis-identify with this information-laden persona. Picture a mind liberated from the shackles of predefined notions and beliefs. A mind in touch with an intelligence that transcends the fluctuations of emotion. This is the crux of the matter – finding a way to navigate the bipolarity of thought by disconnecting from the information. We can never stop compulsive thinking, unless we disengage with information.
Life
Science terms it consciousness, some call it god, and I choose to call it life. Regardless of the label, the essence remains the same – a realm beyond the influence of thoughts. This is the space where we get over thoughts, and reach a void.
In essence, bipolarity is not only a byproduct of our attachment to information, but an inherent quality of our existence. We cannot have an experience of life without opposites. The interplay of opposites within our thoughts contributes to the rollercoaster ride that individuals with bipolar disorder often experience.
To break free from this cycle, we must disentangle ourselves from the identity constructed by information. This does not imply a detachment from reality but a shift in perspective. We must recognize that our true essence lies in an intelligence untouched by the biases of accumulated knowledge.
Conclusion
Understanding that how a person with bipolar thinks involves unraveling the intricate relationship between personality, information, and thoughts. By dis-identifying with information, we open ourselves to a profound intelligence that transcends the fluctuations of bipolarity. This offers a pathway to a more harmonious and balanced existence.
