The mind is a powerful force

[Excerpt from Unachievable]

Have you ever stressed about getting enough sleep before a big next day and found yourself lying in bed wide awake?

If so, you understand the power of the mind to create worrisome projections, doom visions of the future, vulnerability and insecurity, imaginations of failure and negative opinions of others. You also have seen how these mental phenomena can make it temporarily impossible to experience what is there naturally and easily – the ability to fall asleep.

The mechanics of sleep and the innocently disruptive power of the mind present a powerful illustration of what we are looking at in this book. Except, we are not just interested in sleep; we are exploring the entire experience of existence. We are questioning exactly what is that ‘I’ that the mind has created and then goes into overdrive to protect. We are exploring how – through facing up to the nature and significance of ‘Unachievable’ – the mind is liberated.

The mind is a powerful force. Let’s set it free.
