EXISTENCE
Don't give life to Thought
Don’t give importance or life to the entity called mind. Imagine a blank paper. And draw black lines all over it. First erase the alternate lines. Then erase the next set of alternate lines. And so on. Until the last line. Our existence is like white paper. It is Pure. Thoughts are the lines. When we give life to thought, it multiplies and covers the paper. The white is always there. It just appears that thoughts have covered it completely.
I am an individual is also a thought. This one thought leads to all other thoughts. These thoughts suck energy from Existence and take on a life of their own. This energy is corrupted and we live on it solely. It’s like we are drinking dirty water continuously.
