One of the biggest pitfalls I spend my time helping clients out of, is trying to bend the laws of physics.
They’re trying really hard to somehow deconstruct, or un-see the illusion of thought.
Their mind hears me say that the entirety of our experience is perception — that we’re all walking around in these little bubbles of thought that we call “reality,” but are, in actual fact, an illusion — and it goesL
“Ok, right, enough of this faffing around with my thoughts and feelings and things not being as they seem - JUST SHOW ME ACTUAL GODDAMN REALITY ALREADY, WILL YOU?!”
Ha ha, minds! 🙄
It’s like we think we have to wake up from the dream, in order to enjoy the dream more.
Or we want to know what to do about it, in order to feel better:
“So, I have to tell myself it’s not real, yeah? Is that what you’re saying?”
No.
Neither of these are true.
