Creation 2

The things we experience as real and important - in relations, at work, in health, in economy and so on - make us think and dream, and these thoughts give seeds which are projected as the things we experience as real and important - in relations, at work, in health, in economy and so on - make us think and dream, and these thoughts give seeds which are projected as the things we experience as real and important - in relations, at work, in health, in economy and so on...

so it is...our projections give rise to new projections which support the impression that the projections we had yesterday were not projections but had some solid reality of their own...

To break this circle we should know the power of our own contribution to these projections. We see what we want to see. Often we want to see the most horrible, the most disgusting. Why do we want that? Well, there are dark undercurrents in many minds.

But we can leave these undercurrents. There is an alternative. It is called bodhicitta or active compassion.
