Being outside my Head

Reflecting on what M. said recently--"I just need to be outside my head". It's so true--it's the mind that has us all prisoners. Prisoners of endless "Tark Vitark"(Hindi for point-counterpoint) of never-ending imaginary situations in which we are heroes of course --and everybody else is conjured up to be the villain. Most of the time we don't even realize that our thoughts and the bodily reactions to those thoughts viz emotions are so much in command of our reality. To add to the mess is the fact that most of our circumstances are but manifestation of those schizoid thought processes--they confirm our beliefs because we can rarely ever step out of the Drama our mind has conjured up to look at our Life as a Mirror....of what we believe in . And it takes Practise--That's all it takes ....Determined dogged practise to actually Breathe Stop Feel grateful,Feel Connected and sometimes when I am Graced ---to Feel ONE.
