Anything the Mind Can Say
/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 cut 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.” Not from some imagined anger, but from a positive hunger.
