It does not require energy to deny an illusion, though it does take energy to maintain an illusion.
Even these words are temporary, they arose at random and they will be something else tomarrow.
Thus they do not exist; they are a temporary illusion.
Many souls build bodies for themselves, as a reaction to the random, changing and temporary outer forces,
thus the physical body is a reaction to random external force, but that body has a memory.
The memory is also temporary, and comes about by random changes in what they would call “reality”.
Thus a baby has never said at birth: “I want to be born, and to know the truth.”
When I asked myself, “why do I want to hurt myself?” – there was no answer other then habbit.
Habbit becomes the blind mental mechanics of adamance and “impossible people”.
I saw my body wanting to do, say and feel… For no real reason.
In the same way that a dog gives birth to another dog, an illusion gives birth to another illusion.
The sheer mass of the illusion, is not its merit, it is simply more illusion.
Your world and your body are the same thing. The body of another person is part of what you’d call the “outside world”.
This person that you call part of the outside world, calls you part of the outside world.
Without the “outside world” – you could not “live”, thus you are attached to it and are part of it.
Breaking an addiction to smoking would not be easy. It would be hard work, and it would require hard effort.
Breaking an addiction to illusion would be 100 times harder, thus rarely is it ever broken by anyone.
illusion is a deeper form of slavery and mundane repetition then tobaco.
The amount of strength needed in order to break the illusion, is the vast amount of strength that the illusion usedto take away from you.
Breaking my own chains was so difficult – that at night I wake up – and watch my body automatically build more chains around itself.
There has forever been what is wrong in human history, and the people who did the most wrong did not [at that time] have the ability to stop themselves from doing it, thus they were controlled and consumed by a force other then peace and balance. As peace and balance are not a force at all, those using force as a means can never force peace or balance into existence.
All too often habbit is put above balance, and the future of life is then destroyed.
For no real reason, there keeps on being the struggle with the world, for the sake of the self, and a struggling with self, for the sake of the world.
As both the self and the world came about at random, are changing, and are temporary, they do not really exist – and all they have to do is struggle towards the illusion of their own existence.
A man is willing to do almost anything to try to prove to himself that he is something, even if this often involves destroying himself, in part or in full.
As he tries to prove what cannot be proven, he adds to the illusion to make it appear more true.
For this reason, 5 men tell him: “You are strong”, and he believes it, whilst they say to his exact equal, [his brother] “You are pathetic”, and then his brother goes off feeling week and pathetic.
Both the strength and the weekness are illusion, which are persuaded by means of belief in forms and words… words that do not exist, and if spoken to someone who does not believe them, have no power. The word insights the body to belief, and once the body believes that the word is real, the body will do all it can to make that word real. The word was never real, as all real things do not have to be made real – they already are real. The word is more often the illusion, built upon an even larger illusion, as one says: “Reality is this.”
Not only are all men potentially capable of creating their own reality, but the universe does not stop them from believing any vast stretch of insanity about it.
Everyone has already created their own reality, as they react to words and forms. After they have built their reality, they say to their reality: “Reality is this.” though they have not created what always was.
The beliefs about what reality “is” are formed during childhood, and also, during the childhood, the child is most vulnerable, and the child will believe nearly any lie that is told to it.
If a child is abused, for the rest of that childs life, it will unconsciously feel as though certain useless & self-destructive things within it are “meant to be”.
Thus the blind man is told by abnother: “what I am seeing is real” – and he cannot help but believe.
If something was not even real in the fisrt place, then people would have to put forth allot of effort in order to make it “real”. Once they haev fully persuaded themselves, there is rarely anyone else who can persuade them of the opposite. Most persons devote their entire life to this sort of work, and they slave for what they believe in, or what they think is “real”.
Belief is the only means in which opinion has power. That power being given to it from where?
But if belief is temporary, is changing, and came about at random, not being able to exist on its own without a believer – is it “real”?
Perhaps belief is not real, and reality can easily exist without belief?
If all people on earth stopped believing in reality, then the reality that actually existed would still exist, whilst the belief no-longer existed.
Not having belief, is the only way to experience pure reality.
