The World Is What You Think It Is

Have you ever tried to find that "Quiet Space" between your thoughts? The place where the world no longer exists?

Think about the small child that follows you all around constantly asking you question and chattering about this thing and that, have you ever met one of those children? The funny thing is that we are that small child that never shuts up.

We Think and talk too much. We must try to find a quiet space between our thoughts and stop talking to ourselves so much. We carry on an internal talk. Think about it. Whenever you are alone, what do you do? You talk to yourself. We talk to ourselves about our world. In fact we maintain our world with our internal talk.

Whenever we finish talking to ourselves the world is always as it should be. We renew it, we kindle it with life, we uphold it with our internal talk. Not only that, but we also choose our paths as we talk to ourselves. Thus we repeat the same choices over and over until the day we die, because we keep on repeating the same internal talk over and over until the day we die.

The world is such-and-such or so-and-so only because we tell ourselves that that is the way it is. If we stop telling ourselves that the world is so-and-so, the world will stop being so-and-so.

The world is incomprehensible. We won't ever understand it; we won't ever unravel its secrets. Thus we must treat it as it is, a sheer mystery!

Most people do not do this though. The world is never a mystery for them, and when they arrive at old age they are convinced they have nothing more to live for. An old man has not exhausted the world. He has exhausted only what people do. But in his stupid confusion he believes that the world has no more mysteries for him. What a wretched price to pay! It is important for people to become aware of this confusion and learn to treat things properly. The things that peo0ple do cannot under any conditions be more important than the world. And thus should treat the world as an endless mystery and what people do as an endless folly!
