Independent Spirituality

When we observe something, then an immediate action of thought and senses follows with a judgement. Our brain is so much used to do this, that we don’t know anymore what it is like to just observe. It is impossible though to see reality, if conditioning comes between yourself and the observed. You meet someone who you saw ten years ago for the last time. That person treated you badly at that time. In the meantime the person got the insight of that bad treatment. But you can’t see this, because you automatically get the former idea in your mind.
Perception without this image is only possible if you see very clearly through the operation of the mind and are standing in life brightly. It’s the difference between living in the present or being lived by the past.
