The Buddha talks about only ever focusing on you and realizing that the only world that exists is the one you imagine. With this in mind we should create a world that supports our greatest desires, but we should know that those desires must have balance or we create a Hell for ourselves. I agree with this. Life is an illusion but one we can manipulate for our own benefit. If we choose a mindful life we make the best one possible and we create a path that is rewarding every step. This is a very nice post and reminded me of some things I should always remember about how to get back when I get lost. Thanks and I am resteeming.
I agree with you. All the greatest sages in history have told us that the reality is just the manifestation of our thoughts and so we can quite literally create our own world. But we do have to be mindful about it, as you said, otherwise we can just as easily create a world that is hellish, if we let our negative thoughts rule over.
Thanks for your comments. Yes the mind is a wonderful or horrible creator and we have to do all we can to understand it and to manage its behavior.
