Tao Stoic 39

"Mind as the sole Ruler, Master, what is so difficult in it to understand, so that only a few people know of-, or agree with-, it?"

"People just want to be victims of outside circumstances, of things beyond their control. In that Way, it is not their fault."

"But it is especially CONTROL that shows them the nonsense of it! The pure physical Reality NEVER controls because control implies purpose, which is in its turn emotion, is idea or Mind, and that, per definition, the physical Reality has not. Even then, control over our outside Reality cannot be anywhere BUT in our Mind itself, not inbetween (Tao Stoics)."

"You are a worthy pupil. Indeed, even when we (try to) control other living things, humans even, it is only possible by using 'pure physical' Reality through gestures, speech-sounds, kicks and blows. You are well on the Way, for a true grasp of Nature." [9], [20], [23], [39], [129], [131], [161]
