Anything the Mind can Say

Once, while on a visit to a far side of the universe, I overheard one star tell another, “You’re certainly on the red side of the spectrum considering your size.”  And the other one replied, “Yes, but whoever expected silver futures to plummet so near the end of the year.”  Don’t look at me – I didn’t understand it either.

Can you begin to realize, just a little by now, that anything the mind can say is “somehow true”? Can you begin to realize, at first, the danger in this, and later the joyful relief?  Anything the mind can say is “somehow true.”

There was once a man who thought, “If only I had a million dollars, I just know I’d be a more popular and completed person.”  Well, can you believe it; one day his dream was granted and it turned out that he was partially right.  But some years later, it-struck-him and he thought:  “You know, partially just won’t get it.”

An ordinary man will pursue activities that he believes will make him a “better person,” while the Few undertake a struggle that may simply make them a person.

The struggle to evolve eventually becomes, “You against the world,” but not from some imagined anger, but from a positive hunger.
