There is no psychological time, thought has invented an illusion.

Wisdom from elsewhere

I'm reading a book at the moment. Its called the 'Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet'. You may know it? In the chapter 'The Now of Pooh' there is a piece I would like to quote if I may...

"A Brain can do all kinds of things, but the things that it can do are not the most important things. Abstract cleverness of the mind only seperates the thinker from the world of reality, and that world, the Forest of Real Life, is in a desperate condition now because of too many who think too much and care too little. In spite of what many minds have thought themselves into believing, that mistake cannot continue for much longer if everything is going to survive. The one chance we have to avoid certain disaster is to change our approach, and to learn to value wisdom and contentment. These are the things that are being searched for anyway, through Knowledge and Cleverness, but they do not come from Knowledge and Cleverness. They never have, and they never will. We can no longer afford to look so desperately hard for something in the wrtong way and in the wrong place. If Knowledge and Cleverness are allowed to go on wrecking things, they will before much longer destroy all life on earth as we know it..."

 

Conditioned?

We are so conditioned. It is ego that wants to put the world right, it is not compassion. Compassion does not get angry or frustrated that it is not being listened to. It is ego that riles and fumes when other don't see clearly what my ego is telling them.

Can self evident truth be shared without ego, ambition, judgment and aggression etc.?

What is ones motive when one shares ones self evident truth? If motive is driven by reward, psychologically or physically there is no purity or innocence and therefore no beauty.
   That is not 'right' action. That is action of the will, which is desire and force to push for a desired outcome. This is how we end up going to war whether with guns, tongues or making an enemy in our hearts.

Here is the News...

The news on the media fails us. Interesting and serious items, and talks, are cut short. We have no time to consider and reflect on what is being said before the next item is forced onto our attention.

Are ones' thinking projections possibly completely incorrect?

Ones' projections in thought teaches one misunderstanding, hate, resistance and resentment. We do this in abstract thought, projecting onto others without knowing if there is any truth in our thoughts. Why do we do take these random concepts, loosely based on other peoples actions toward us, as if they are undisputed facts?
Can we see what our perceptions and projections are doing? Is there a way of seeing that projections of the mind are so rarely the truth and therefore should be treated with the utmost caution?

Ones' projections are conceptual so if one gives them undue credence, one asks am I addicted to conflict? Projections are not the truth but if we believe them to be the truth there is conflict between what is actual and what we have made up that has the illusion of being actual. Understanding this and holding on to the projections as if truth, leads one to ask if one is addicted to conflict?


Can one let go of ones imaginary disagreements with people you have decided are deliberately hurting you. You make that decision by your interpretation of their actions. Why do we do this? 

Hurts are feelings and are real i.e. they happen, but the explanation of them to ourselves may be completely incorrect and this is the world in which we live - a made-up one.
  

Just a feeling
