Images

DAY 8

Ill keep it short today.

As long as our minds exist, we are constantly sensing the world and understanding it. A sight, a sound, a feeling, a taste, these all contribute to the creation of imagery in our minds. When strangers are nice to us we create an image of that person. From that moment on that stranger is a nice person in our minds. If a stranger is unkind to us we will remember him as an unkind person. Our nature of creating these images make first impressions very significant. 

Realise that the image that you create is just a delusion. That person that you observed is always changing, they aren't always one type of person. It is what your mind is telling you to accept due to what you felt at that moment. Our mind links sensations to feelings so it is restricting us from true freedom of thinking.

Remove these images and think freely without bias. People aren't regularly out there to defile you and people won't always be kind. They live their own lives and care more for themselves than others. Accept the present and forget about the past. Be free from worry, doubt, hatred, anger, resentment, and disappointment. Let go and be free.

You cannot conquer a free man. The most you can do is kill him. - Robert Heinlein
