How does your mind deceive you? " Free yourself"
Your mind
creates illusions. It cares about what it thinks, not about what really
happened. If there are five eyewitnesses to an accident, there are five
different reports about what happened.
Most of all,
your mind is obsessed with what other minds are thinking (mind reading). Your
mind is horribly competitive and insecure, comparing you to the neighbors,
co-workers, friends, family members and movie stars. Whether these comparisons come
out positively or negatively, they still are defensive wastes of brain power.
Your mind is too
deeply focused on what might happen (worrying) to notice what is happening. Or,
it is agonizing about what did happen (regretting), again, ignoring what is happening.

It is time to
escape, time to relieve your mind of the seriousness you have projected in its
direction. It is time to set yourself free. There is nothing
wrong with a mind until it is believed. When you believe what the mind says, it
starts to believe it too.
A picture
isn’t serious; it is just a picture. A sound isn’t serious; it is just a sound.
A feeling isn’t serious; it is just a feeling. How does your mind take a group
of pictures, sounds and feelings and convert them into a serious thought?
In fact, that
is exactly what the mind does. It beats you. It beats you by adding importance,
relevance and seriousness where there isn’t any. It beats you into submission.
It threatens you until you will believe every thought.

Returning to
your senses is an important step in disarming a cruel mind. Continue to notice
the pictures, sounds and feelings that compose each thought. Focusing on your
senses will take some practice but it isn’t hard and it generates a powerful
momentum toward positive change in the moment. (momentum to the moment).
If you think
the thought “It is a nice day,” first notice the thought and then get curious
about what inspired that thought.
What pictures,
sounds and feelings did you have before you thought, “It is a nice day?”
Perhaps you
saw the sun shining or even felt the warmth of the sun on your back, then,
maybe, you said to yourself, “The sun in shining; there aren’t very many clouds
in the sky; it probably won’t rain.” Then you may have had a feeling, perhaps a
softness or warmth inside.
The day isn’t
nice; it is just a day. Certain pictures, sounds and feelings came together and
there was the thought “It is a nice day.”

Without
sensory data, without pictures, sounds and feelings, there wouldn’t be any
thoughts. Attention focused on pictures, sounds and feelings reveals that
thoughts are not the beginning or the end that they pretend to be. They aren’t
the first word or the last word on anything; they play just a bit part in the
dance of who you really are. Putting thoughts in perspective relieves your
mind.
These are the
people who are driven to get better by hopes and dreams, not by actions. These
are the people who buy the next great thing culture offers them and avoid self-
knowledge like the plague. These are the people who are the victims of their own
thoughts and dreams, always taking their first response.
You miss
almost everything almost all the time and act, think and believe that you get
almost everything almost all the time. Learn it! Get it! Live it! Love it!
Yes, you miss
almost everything all the time. You miss feelings, you miss opportunities, you
miss thoughts, you miss romance, you miss love, you miss respect, you miss
owning everything and being everywhere.
