There are 'other' bodies ... The bodies that can " really " hurt a body', ...the body called ...'yours' ... The 'other' bodies can give it a wound, a scar, a cut ... The 'other' bodies can even " kill " it ! What happens when 'other' body hits this body, 'attacks' this body ... is NOT only dependent on 'this' body, ...it is also GRATLY dependent on the 'nature' of this body ! When cut it bleeds ... With fire it burns ... What about the 'mind' ... Can 'thoughts', emotions, feelings from 'other' mind can 'hit' you ? Is this 'mind' called 'yours' is somewhat 'bound' by its 'nature' and how it can respond to 'what', Or, is it TRULY Free and can respond the way it wants irrespective of the 'impact' of the other mind ... We all know " thoughts " of other can really manifest and effect you on 'physical' level ... What a Bush thinks, What a Saddam thinks, What a Greenspan thinks, What your wife, father, husband, mother thinks, ....might really, really affect you, ....even 'physically' ! ( because, those thought does and can manifest physically ) But, can a thought also affect you 'mentally' just by the very nature of 'mind' ... i.e. Is your mind just bound by 'you' .... Or, is it also bound by its 'nature' as in case of physical body ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
