So when i read the title/main idea of the chapter "my mind is preoccupied with past thoughts," i was like "Ok, i understand and can get behind this." Then i actually started reading the lesson and im not gonna lie, i was getting pissed.
^--- WTF was my first thought
I am angry and i am confused. The lesson says that thinking about the past is to think about illusions and that when you are picturing the past your mind is actually blank because it is not really thinking about anything. Again let me say it, WTF! I lived, i experienced, those things happened, how are they illusions?
Is there some huge concept here that i am missing because even after doing the exercise i feel hurt/angry/confused. I almost kind of feel like it was a personal attack on me. Like telling me everything that i have done and lived is a lie. What thoughts that we have are real and true thoughts then?
I need help with this one. If anyone has any idea or clarifications they can offer me i would be most appreciative to hear them.
