      <description>&amp;amp;lt;&amp;amp;lt;&amp;lt; SAM: "this only happened within my own mind.' " &gt;&gt;&gt; &#xD;
&#xD;
&amp;amp;lt;&amp;amp;lt;&amp;lt; CYNTHIA: "are you sure about that? just curious..." &gt;&gt;&gt; &#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
Sure he / she is.... everything comes from thought, the world around you is nothing more than your thought forms at work... &#xD;
&#xD;
So what about thoughts? &#xD;
&#xD;
Thought comes from mind/ego. &#xD;
&#xD;
What is mind/ego? &#xD;
&#xD;
The ego is not a solid entity; there is no tangible element known as "the ego." &#xD;
&#xD;
The ego is the continuous process of constantly re-creating yourself each moment of your life, from birth all the way to death. &#xD;
&#xD;
The ego is transcended by keeping the vital force (prana) centered in the heart region and resting in the gaps between your breathing cycles. &#xD;
&#xD;
eventually, you just automatically stop breathing, and go into higher planes of being/non-being. &#xD;
&#xD;
Likewise, there is no such entity as "mind." We may liken the mind to a rubber-band ball, and each thought = a rubber band.&#xD;
&#xD;
after removing each and every thought, every rubber band, what are we left with? &#xD;
&#xD;
NOTHING.&#xD;
&#xD;
Where did the "mind" go then?&#xD;
&#xD;
bliss, &#xD;
