Jake's Monthly Summary

This second month seems to be divided between two mindsets. On one side, I glimpse at the beautiful and on the other side I glimpse at the terrible. Strangely, every time I have a pleasant-smooth experience, the unpleasant-rigid will follow and will normally come from inside of me. Is this a law? If yes, this law needs to be broken.

A way would be to stop giving importance to the arising unpleasant experience and just let it go. It is like throwing a old smelly pair of shoes in the thrash. I don't need to analyze the shoes to remember everywhere I walked, because it is me who walked and not the shoe. An emotion only possesses the importance we give to it.

While reading my summaries and everyone's summaries, I have the impression that we are mostly focusing on the moments when we believe that the WH was true or when we saw something nice. I've often been told to be positive and also I've often been told that I might be too positive about many things. Every time I force myself to see the bright side I seem to be repressing the dark side. I don't want to see everything as beautiful while hiding the ugly. What I really want is to understand reality.

I would be grateful to read some of your answers to the three following questions:

1. What would happen if the WH was false and how does that make you feel?

2. Why do you think the WH is false?

3. What are your unpleasant or boring moments concerning the WH?
