def: My state of mind, experienced. The result of what I believe about what I’m thinking.
There is no world I can confirm outside of what I am thinking and believing. All my evidence of a “world” passes through the filter of my mind in order to be understood as “world.” So the closest I can ever get to a “real” world is my story of a world.
Which means…
The world is located entirely in the mind
Which means…
Everyone lives in an entirely different world.
Which, in turn, means…
I cannot know what is right for another person to do, say or think because I do not live in their world.
My world is just my mind, projected.
Clear mind, kind world.
As long as I believe I need something, the world will appear to oppose it.
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
First be okay in the world, then fix it.
I cannot manage my feelings by making things happen in the world.
“I don’t try to change the world.”
Inquiry: I want to matter to the world. Is it true?
Nothing in the world needs controlling except my desire for control.
The state of the world I live in matches the state of the mind I live in.
The world is a made-up story written by me, which means I can re-write it.
The world is exactly as perfect as I am.
The world is as generous as my thinking.
The world is nothing (and everything) until I believe something onto it.
The world isn’t real (but that doesn’t mean I have to ruin the movie).
There are no annoying people in the world, only annoyed people.
Tikkun Olam (“Repair of the world”)
What about all the suffering people in the world?
What I’m willing to believe is a function of how I am determined to feel.
