Is there a way to look at this world without the interference from the past?

If you truly cared about peace in this world, truly - not because someone told you; not because you believe in what a particular person said; not because you practice some hand-me-down morals; not because you have an idea to act and change the world based on that idea; not because your college professor or teacher asked you to produce a paper about it; but because you truly feel the pain and suffering in a world where many, if not most of us have been desensitized over years and years of conditioning and mass manipulation.

Looking at the world without the interference of the past (or when the brain is absolutely quiet) does something to the brain chemically and psychologically. But many people turn this "quietness" into an intellectual exercise, meaning they merely become quiet with the intent to achieve something, which itself cannot be quiet since intent is a derivative of thought.

But looking at the world - at what is - without the interference of the past means not quoting famous people; recalling what "so and so" said about xyz; forming opinions through your beliefs of something; judging "this is right" and "that is wrong" based on some philosophy or belief system; acting in such a way that the community you live in would approve of; keeping-up endless traditions and patterns; merely repeating some mantra that the world's richest person has invented; and so forth - can you put all of that aside? I see so many people trying to understand the world through “other people’s eyes” that they give themselves no chance to understand truth. You have the answer!

All these activities help strengthen the current state of your brain which is conditioned to be self-centered. And as such, you live with the constant draining battle of acting as a copy-paste human being. I don’t know about you but I’m not falling for that dirty trick any more.

To return to the originality of what you are is really just an arm's reach away if you are willing to look at the arm without the idea of it being an arm...

Love and light,
