Guest guest Posted May 27, 2001 Report Share Posted May 27, 2001 Dear List, Anyone here reading 'my posts' and attempting to form a 'mental picture' of 'who i am' is engaging in a futile exercise. Best to take each post as a 'snapshot' of the present moment, as in a literal sense there is nobody posting. The words appear against the screen of the mind for a moment, that's all. Read them and then let them go out of the mind immediately. Let go the hold on all 'mental pictures', images held in the mind, and things are as they are, and there is no conflict. Try it and see. Continue to construct such pictures, and only conflict will continue to appear. What you take as 'your self image' is only the past -- nothing but a 'picture' of yourself held in the mind composed of past datum. Similarly with 'others'. Let go these 'mental pictures'. These are based on false and contradictory data and on the assumption of 'continuity'. There is no continuity in memory, nor in/as 'personality'. Let the moment alone -- allow it to flow in as it will and then out again... you will be amazed to discover yourself the unmoving centre of time around which all things swirl.
