Mental Projections at Night
When walking at night in the pitch black, the projections
from our own mind can make us so uneasy that we get shivers up our spine, look
behinds us and all around and then start running.
We Believe Them
The reason why we get scared is simply because we believe or
give them credibility. When we ask ourselves whether they are true or not and
we see them for what they are: mind projecting and not reality we can conquer
them and attain a peaceful, trusting meditative state.
Meditate Outdoors at Night Alone
To conquer these mental projections coming from fear we can
do something: meditate outdoors alone at night.
Observe that our “I’s” of fear begin to project someone
creeping up behind us, aliens abducting us, a serial killer, a king wave, a
mermaid, a shark (if we are at the beach), a weirdo asking questions, a snake,
a rapist, a monster, a ghost, a demon etc. etc.
Triumph Comes
Simply not believing in any of these mental projections, because
they are not real, because they are mind and keeping our meditative posture we
can soon enough conquer them and separate then from our psyche. Then trust and
peace enters into us and we can meditate deeply.
When we can do this we have done it! It is actually worth it!
Because this new ability will allow to separate from many other projections
from your own mind that may pop up to do with other areas of life.
If you try it, I would recommend that you tell someone that
you are doing that and that they watch out for you from a distance.
End (2210).
