We all consider our lives to be an unfolding experience that we choose, that we design. A blank canvas that we paint our ever developing growth onto.
The more I observe the workings of mind the more I see what is untrue.
How about this perception: mind paints our lives onto the blank canvas and we think we are that life, that painting, when in fact we are the actual canvas that gives life to the painting.
For example, we think we are the painting of the tree and the clouds and we’ll add in a dog and some kids. Consider the importance of the canvas here, the thing that is unchanging, that gives life to the painting. Without that canvas all we would have is tubes of paint, with no means to make use of them.
All our experiences pour through this filter of mind, and it generates opinions and beliefs, likes and dislikes. It’s a grand game, a great trick. We’re all distracted by our thoughts and perceptions, judgements about life around us that we miss the essence of life itself. The aliveness.
