The Screen Of Our Mind

The screen of our mind holds all our history to which we constantly refer, and this is how we live in a cyclic existence. We are indoctrinated at birth to see the world in a particular way, according to our environment.

This screen was illustrated by Plato with his allegory of people living in a cave and only seeing shadows on a wall, not realising there are puppeteers at work behind the scenes.

You see, it was going on that long ago. 
They were wiser then than we are now!

From the moment that we see this deception, we never ever read the ‘news’ the same way again. We look at what they are trying to project on to our mind today. 🙂 As long as there are comments, the show goes on.

Even in meditation, the screen is still active. All we have to do is be aware that we (consciousness) are watching our historic programming and let it go, otherwise we merely go round in circles. Which isn’t wise 🙂

(Plato – 428-348 BC – was an ancient Greek philosopher. Along with his teacher Socrates and his student Aristotle, Plato is a central figure in the history of Western understanding.)
