“A man or woman hears what he wants to hear”!
Tuesday, March 03, 2009
A man / woman hears what he wants to hear, and disregards the rest, as the old song goes.
These words are absolutely True when it comes to “who we think we are”.
The “illusion” is only interested in what benefits or strengthens its sense of identity.
It is amazing the way it can choose a single line, or even a single word in a sentence to justify its belief system.
The chaos caused by this, has caused many a fight or argument in families, as well as Wars between Nations.
The process for this is in our dependence on thinking.
When we think about something, we have only the knowledge that is stored in our Mind and Sub-Conscious.
These thoughts cannot comprehend an-others point of view.
They ridicule other peoples Religion, Politics or even the colour of their skins.
It can include anything that is not in the World of that persons mind.
So when a different view is given, the Thinking Mind poo poos it as nonsense.
Non-Sense it is, because they find it impossible to accept, especially if it happens to be diametrically opposite on viewpoints.
The more thinking, the more they will judge.
The more they judge, the more convinced they become.
So when it comes to only hearing what they want to hear, it is easy to see how they have a closed mind.
Everyone who is convinced he is right on any subject, only hears what he wants to hear.
A closed mind is a paradise for the “illusion”.
It gives it a license to believe whatever agrees with his or her opinion.
Add to our beliefs that God is on your side, and we have a cocktail of sheer insanity.
Perfectly sensible people who are well educated carry thought systems that actually believe they are superior to other human beings.
A whole nation of people can carry these same beliefs.
In some religions they teach those same principles.
Another person or race of people are damned to hell simply because they are different in their views on religion or politics.
The list is endless.
When we do not judge.
When we do not poo poo anything anymore.
When we listen to all viewpoints.
When we truly accept people as being where they are.
These are times when we move beyond thought.
When we realise we are not the JUDGE or the person that poo poos everything, life becomes easier.
This becomes simple when we become aware that, we are not who we think we are.
PSYCHEGNOSIS is the source of this awareness.
To fully understand the amazing change that can happen in a human being can be yours right NOW.
All you have to do is be aware that the feelings you have for anything is not you.
This awareness brings instant PEACE.
A Peace that makes you understand the insanity, that you thought only moments before, were truths.
As has been said before – WE SEE THINGS AS THEY ARE- not as we thought they were.
Reality, is not insane.
It’s our thoughts, that are insane.
So from now on, when we THINK we are listening – just cut out the thinking.
You will be pleasantly surprised, how good you feel.
From now on remember that YOU are not, “who YOU think we are”.
We are no worse or no better, than anyone else.
