As you think yourself to be, so you think the world to be

[Guest guest]

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `

 

I see the same world as you do, but not the same

way. There is nothing mysterious about it.

Everybody sees the world through the idea he has

of himself. As you think yourself to be, so you think

the world to be. If you imagine yourself as separate

from the world, the world will appear as separate

from you and you will experience desire and fear.

I do not see the world as separate from me and so

there is nothing for me to desire, or fear.
