Past Mind World

More From George Orwell

For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? or that the force of gravity works? or that the past is unchangeable? if both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable – what then?
Science Past Two
In this way the ego detaches itself from the external world. it is more correct to say: originally the ego includes everything, later it detaches from itself the external world. the ego-feeling we are aware of now is thus only a shrunken vestige of a far more extensive feeling - a feeling which embraced the universe and expressed an inseparable connection of the ego with the external world.
Ego Feelings Connections
Our time has been distinguished, more than by anything else, by a mastery, a control, of the external world, and by an almost total forgetfulness of the internal world. if one estimates human evolution from the point of view of knowledge of the external world, then we are in many respects progressing. if our estimate is from the point of view of the internal world, and of oneness of internal and external, then the judgment must be very different.

How does one get rid of fear? ramana: what is fear? it is only a thought. if there is anything besides the self there is reason to fear. who sees things separate from the self? first the ego arises and sees objects as external. if the ego does not rise, the self alone exists and there is nothing external. for anything external to oneself implies the existence of the seer within. seeking it there will eliminate doubt and fear. not only fear, all other thoughts centred round the ego will disappear along with it.
Self Ego Doubt
We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.

Gay people exist. there's nothing we can do in public policy that makes more of us exist, or less of us exist. and you guys have been arguing for a generation that public policy ought to essentially demean gay people as a way of expressing disapproval of the fact that we exist, but you don't make any less of us exist. you just are arguing in favor of more discrimination, and more discrimination doesn't make straight people's lives any better.

Like it or not children are being raised by gay and lesbian parents all over america - as many as 10 million children. and it does nothing to make their lives more stable and secure to attack their families, to attack their parents to prevent us from marrying each other.
