The reactions that took place in the mind one second ago were unavoidable. Maybe they were nice so we wanted them. Or they were painful.
The reactions were decided by at least two groups of factors, old and new. New factors were the immediate impulses and processes going on now. We might be comparatively aware of these processes. Old factors are our knowledge and experience from before.
The combination of the new impulse and our old experiences made up the reaction we had a second ago.
This means that we are some sort of victim of our old experiences. Things that happened to us long ago still influence our outlook and our experiences.
That is the difficult aspect. We are not free now. We are followed by our history.
The positive aspect is that the past can be changed. Or rather, we can get a new past if we want to.
Nothing in mind has inherent existence, so all of it can change.
To change the past means to purify old, painful experiences and memories. It also means to fill memory with positive activities. Eventually, no old negativity can disturb our reactions in mind.
This is not a static situation. It needs constant renewal of good actions in order to remain.

Deludedness 2
Is the future for man in mind manipulation or mind purification?
Man is deluded from birth, and it is easy to delude a person or a group of persons even more. Drugs can be distributed in the air or in the water or in many other ways. Ideas can be transferred subliminally.
There are many more ways. Should they be used? No.
If we start manipulating the mind of others we start a process that can not be reversed. We also get a responsibility we can not bear
If a small piece of the content in mind is manipulated, the whole content might be disturbed, and this disturbance is without explanation. We are disturbed every day, but these disturbances follow certain routines. Even natural catastrophes who comes as a surprise can be handled. But secret manipulation is something we are not prepared for neither in our genes or in our social upbringing.
Should we base a society on mind manipulation? No, the risks are too big.
Instead we should encourage purification of mind. A pure mind with full information is the best basis for a society.
