They are simply a play of your memory and imagination.
If you can use it when you want and put it aside when you don’t, the mind can be a fantastic tool.
trivialize
Why would you do only one thing when the mind is a phenomenal multidimensional machine, capable of handling several levels of activity all at once?
Really, can mind work multi dimensinally???

Self-transformation is not incremental self-improvement. Self-transformation is achieved not by morals or ethics or attitudinal or behavioral changes, but by experiencing the limitless nature of who we are. Self-transformation means nothing of the old remains. It is a dimensional shift in the way you perceive and experience life.
precept,
uncharted
The only thing that stands between you and your well-being is a simple fact: you have allowed your thoughts and emotions to take instruction from the outside rather than the inside.
But these past 150 years are proof that technology will only bring comfort and convenience to us, not well-being.
Moral of the story: bullshit may get you to the top, but it never lets you stay there!
The foundations of peace and bliss are not about attending to the external realities of your life, but in accessing and organizing the inner nature of your being.
But you won’t ever see me distressed because my way of being is not in any way enslaved to what’s happening outside. This is not an otherworldly achievement. It is possible for everyone to live this way.
Wanting the outside to happen exactly the way you choose is the path of conquest, tyranny, dictatorship.
When pain, misery, or anger happen, it is time to look within you, not around you. To achieve well-being the only one who needs to be fixed is you. What you forget is that when you are sick, it is you who needs the medication. When you are hungry, it is you who needs the food. The only one that needs to be fixed is you, but just to understand this simple fact people take lifetimes!
