To Prevent Being Collateral Damage From Our Mind

To Prevent Being Collateral Damage From Our Mind

Do you think the mind feels pain? Is the mind hurting when it throws all those painful thoughts at you? Why is it just yourself that ends up being hurt and not the mind? How can it not feel or know what it’s doing to you? It’s like the Internet when you surf it you see painful things, is the Internet doing this to purposely hurt you or is it just data? If the computer is not suffering by all these hurtful stories and stupid websites, if it can process it objectively and as just data why can't we? If we do not do that then what other alternative do we have? Is it a good idea to stay in this state forever, at the mercy of our addicting memories, thoughts and knowledge? Are we to live our whole life as collateral damage from our mind? Our body may die but these mental patterns and data lives on, passed on to the next computer, to the next generation of kids in every country.

 You can not obliterate that what you do not like in your mind or that which brings you pain, this is sort of petty and racist in a way its just a thought no different then all the other thoughts that come to you. I think another problem with this is our relationship to these thoughts. We would rather have more pleasant thoughts then unpleasant thoughts, we judge and label thoughts, we put them in boxes of what we like and do not like based on our conditioning, we take them personal and identify with them, let them think for us, and think we are them. The Internet and computer does not do this, it knows the distinction so don't we?

I do think the psyche can swallow everything that is going on in the world; it always has, even in our super bloody barbaric past. What did it do with all that sort of data; aside from develop a sort of amnesia or a twisted version of it? Animals swallow the reality of the many before them that were killed but they do not let this information paralyze them or make them sick or prevent them from living they use it to assimilate it to evolve to understand how the ones before them perished so they can do something different. Like the moth that has the eyes of the snake on its wings. The snake does not eat the moth. Birds and frogs eat the moth, and the snake eats birds and frogs so this moth used the past information to protect itself, can we not do the same when it comes to our psychologically so to prevent being a casualty of the mind?

What's Your Toy?

A little girl of 5 years old is asked a question after she mentions how she is struggling with the fear to lose her toy.

"Little girl what is more important the toy itself or the fear to lose the toy?"
The little girl answered immediately, "the fear to lose my toy is more important then the toy itself" she said. This means that the toy really is not that important after all that is why kids are so fickle with toys.
Kids want something no sooner do they get it they want what the other kid has and forget about their new toy that they crying to their parents to get it. We do the same no sooner do we have our toy we are bored of it and want another and another then we want what the neighbor has and so on.
This is the game we play with ourselves as we get older with beliefs especially and partners and aspirations and ideals.
the toy is a distraction from the need for a toy an addictions and so on.
We do not think why the toy is really so important to us? 
We do not think why the fear to lose it is more important than the toy itself?
Toys turn into houses cars partners.
We can see where it starts as kids
How did we get such a mind set?
Look how young it starts, she is 5 and already its an outer commodity to hide an inner deficit, a compensation for a perceived lack.
Do they even need toys for fun and distraction at all? 
Why do we need distractions? 
What can we do that when a kid gets a toy they become afraid to lose it or find its not good enough they want more and more and what the other girl has to? 
What can we do? Do you know how to help ourselves with this problem before we can help kids not to have this problem.
So with that said what is your toy?

The boy with no toy: 

In the corner of the playground sat a young boy, a teacher approached and asked "where is your toy? It's toy day today and your sitting alone, I'm going to get your mum on the phone!" The little boy smiled and said "I am okay, I don't need a toy to have a good day" . "This is no good, the teacher replied, I'll get you a toy from the classroom inside!" 

"Its really ok, the little boy said, I'm having such fun inside my own head! I know you think that your being kind, but no toy in the world would I swap for my mind." 

The teacher looked cross and called him a silly boy, And told him he was the only child with no toy. That may be so laughed the little boy, but my mind is for life A toy is just a toy.
