The origin of ideas 2

A few ideas decide our life, and often they are a bit on the wild side. Trying to become an actor, a television personality, a real evil murderer, inventor of new space ships -- the world needs extreme ideas. It is built on them. But some of the mad ideas are truly mad ... and we could ask if we can sort out the nice madness from the bad.
The origin of these ideas are very deep in our own mind. We can get ideas and impulses from others, but the decisive melting pot is in our own mind, where our strong ambitions, extreme feelings, psychological mechanisms, will, dreams, self image and ideas about our own potential capacity is boiling.
It is a mind process and as such it can be perfectly transparent and rational. Often it is not. We do not want to talk about our most personal feelings and ideas.
We could discuss this in a non-personal matter.
It is part of the mind training.
