0394 Section 5, Chapter 74 Yoga Vasishta

A thought experiment (as inspired by Albert Einstein)...

Given total freedom we eventually opt for a very limited set of options.

Spend some time thinking about what you think about.

This is what happens with the supreme self. Limiting patterns get established. These patterns are like an illusion in the desert. Such patterns are the mind, discernment, ego, latent tendencies, the senses.

We construct notions around the experiencing that is happening. This is the world-illusion.

Neither reject nor accept notions.

The mind is the body of thought which is identical with the notions. Along with notions comes the fundamental notion of 'having a body'.
