Re: Mind's Eye Re: Matter

The will to change yourself comes from within you , but those who are
ignorant of the intricacies of nature think that they have brought
about this change. When you breathe you think that you are freely
doing so but the fact is that it is your body which is demanding it.
Whether you are controlling your anger or not is in your hands but
your decisions arise from the working of your brain which is matter
and as such governed by neurological or biological principles. If
freedom was real the whole machinery of the universe would have
collapsed and there would have been mayhem everywhere , but that is
not the case and wherever you look you find harmony within. Whatever a
man does it is his nature expressing itself , where I would have
beaten up a child mercilessly you would not have because you are not
free , if you think you are go ahead and shoot up your enemy , but of
course you would not because your reason would stop you where mine
would not. If you think that is freedom , then you are really the
master of yourself.
