Guest guest Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 I don't think that it was the devil that made Ruby do anything. Whatever Ruby did simply happened. So did the thought, " The devil made me do it. " Do you really think you can do anything?If you look hard at your mind--not with some agenda or mantram or visualization--just plain looking--sooner or later you will discover that your famous choices are just happenings, events, that " you " had nothing to do with at all except to take credit for them a millionth of a split second after they appeared. The " you " is like a flea that rides on the back of choice and other mental events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
