Another book I would recommend to read...thoery of relativity at its kindergarten level...

Some extracts which I liked...

There has always been a fight between the mind and heart. We can substitute heart as a small frame of reference where the some rules fit in but they might not be universal normally they are not, it expects some results. and mind as real world where the frame of reference or perspective is much larger or universal.

The general theory of relativity shows us that our hearts follow different rules than the real world does. A heart based on impressions that it receives from its limited perspective, forms structures which thereafter determine what it further will and will not accept freely. >From that point on, regardless of how the real world actually operates, this heart, following its self imposed rules tries to superimpose on the real world its own version of what must be.

This continues until the mind cries out (beginners mind) “this is not right” what must be is not happening I have tried and tried to discover why this is so….i have strected my imagination to the maximum limit to preserve my belief in what must be. The breaking point has come. Now I have no choice but to admit the must I have believed in, does not come from the real world but from my own head.

The view presented here is that idealizations abstracted from experience from a rigid structure of such durability that, when subsequent sensory experience contradicts it, we quetion the validity of the sensory data rather than the validity of the idealized abstractions. Once such a set of idealized abstractions is erected (verified) in the mind, we thereafter superimpose it upon all subsequent actual and projected sence data(upon the entire universe was we picture it according to this set of abstractions)whether it fits or not.

So does that mean when u are stuck up in life all u need to do start from the first and accept things as naked as they are. This is theoretically simpler way, another way would be broaden ur frame of perspective…..

But in both these procedures one things which remains constant is no matter what the heart aches…..whats right and whats wrong doesn’t reduce ur pain.
