During our life so far, we have seen, thought and felt so many things, so many emotions, good and bad. We have both hurt, and taken care of people, which has produced bad, and good seeds in our minds.
All these seeds are waiting to sprout at the right time.
Good seeds sprout when we see things the right way, without any misinterpretation. The bad seeds sprout when we misinterpret things, and react the wrong way.
The bad seeds were caused because we were not seeing things as they really were. Instead we were looking through the dirty lenses of our mind, whereby the truth was hidden behind our stored negative emotions.
In order to prevent the bad seeds from sprouting, we always need to go back to a neutral place in our mind.
If we can recognise when we are starting to react negatively, starting to allow a bad seed to sprout, we will then have taken a giant step forward.
Watching our own reactions, and knowing that we are reacting, will mean that eventually, when we see the same conditioned reaction about to happen, we can stop, go back to neutral, and respond differently, in a balanced, measured, beneficial and pleasant way.
If we can change the way we see things, stop the misinterpretations from happening, then only good seeds are planted, and only good seeds sprout. The bad ones are stopped in their tracks, which means those bombs that were lying in the mind waiting to explode, simply never go off.
The right response is always beneficial, measured and pleasant.
Then we can stay in a happy, calm, undisturbed place.
