Quote

I really do believe in the influence of your surroundings.

I don't know about you, but I find it exhilarating to see how vague psychological notions evaporate and give rise to a physical, mechanistic understanding of the mind, even if it's the mind of the fly.

Like water which can clearly mirror the sky and the trees only so long as its surface is undisturbed, the mind can only reflect the true image of the Self when it is tranquil and wholly relaxed.

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

I'm very much an observer and a conduit of thoughts and ideas.

I want to know how the mind works.

I find the presence of the sea quite inspiring, and sometimes I do just get out and walk around and take in the sea breeze to try and clear my mind.

I believe in the unconscious state of the mind in death.

I believe that you live on inside the hearts and minds of everyone you've touched while you were here on earth.

It's soothing to realize that my mind's processes are inherently uncontrollable.
