I was thinking the other day as I was talking to Iain,

"if we can create problems in our mind and will it somehow to become our reality, can we un-create it?"

Iain: Well, we should be able to, shoudn't we? I would think, by principle, we should. If we can create something, we can destroy it

But doesn't it occur to anyone else that it doesn't really work that way in reality? I mean, I think everyone creates a degree of drama in their mind to keep their lives interesting, thus live-able.. Some may do it coz they're bored. Some may do it to feel 'normal' (well, what's 'normal' constitutes a whole other discussion, so I'll leave it at that). Some may do it to feel exactly NOT normal, just to want to be different.. So whatever the reason may be, my point is, people do it. All the time..

But what if what was created gets tangled with what's real? Won't the mind be confused? If it does, then either everything is perceived as made up or more often, everything is perceived as reality. And then what? How do we consciously undo what was done? How do we tell our mind that all these emotions/doubt/anger/hate/loathe are made up and unreal when they feel as real as a prick of a needle on the finger?

I don't have many friends who think about these kind of things, coz most will think it's a waste of time and its all bull crap. But for those of ou who do spend some time of day thinking of the power of the human mind, can anyone answer me?
