In the mind, there is a shadow, and it hangs over everything we think. It darkens the spots we are afraid of, and those we do not want to face. This shadow that hides the truth, allows us to run from the truth -- allows us to run free from it and escape it.
You've heard it said that we're all a little bit crazy? Well, we all surely have this shadow. So, yes, we're all a little bit crazy. But, it's not until the shadow gets big enough, that we are credited as crazy.
You've heard the phrase, "You only believe what you want to believe"? Well, that's what I'm talking about.
The mind will not go into taverns it is afraid of. And, that includes -- even means -- it will not go into rooms where the truth is, if it is afraid of those truths -- if those truths are in conflict with what we want to believe. Truth is rejected when it comes in conflict with our personal beliefs. We grab out for excuses and for counter claims and give them more value than we give the truth, itself.
