i agree with lee, but think that the authors words do not fully describe what he must have considered. one never cuts anything out of their lives, but hopefully stores the negative incidents in the darkest corner of the furthest closet. i believe we should keep the memory of all emotional experiences, good and bad, the negative ones stored in a seldom used area of the brain for future reference, where they may be accessed for support in any similar reoccurance. this will help to nip the approaching negativity in the butt...errr bud. i will post a few thoughts about how ive used memory to support the ongoing challenges that i have encountered on this testing station called hell....errr earth...
imo we most importantly emotional beings, and that management of memory is vital to gaining happiness, which to me is the ultimate goal of life. knowledge is sweet, but asylums make most of their income from bright eyed lunatics who have not emotionally come to terms with what they have learned. my definition of wisdom is the ability to be happy in the face of overwhelming knowledge...a lot of brilliant people are desperately unhappy, even suicidal, whereas i dont believe it is possible for a wise person to be unhappy...but thats just my slant on it ----> On May 18, 9:49 am, Molly Brogan <[email protected]> wrote: > "We hardly ever realize that we can cut anything out of our lives, > anytime, in the blink of an eye." > - Carlos Castaneda (1931 - ) > > What do you think it means? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
