Imagine that I wheeled a really big blackboard in front of you, drew a white dot in the centre of it, and then asked you, "What do you see?"
What would you reply?
Probably ninety-five percept of us will say, "I see a white dot".
But what about the blackboard? Such a big blackboard and yet we focus on a white dot.
Why?
Because this is the pattern of the mind: We are accustomed to looking at the figure not the background.If anything, it seems that our everyday thoughts are impediments; and it's when we get out of our own way, stop thinking, that our innate wisdom, natural talent and joyful essence has an opportunity to shine through.
I want you to write a story about YOU!
Real.
imagined.
thoughts.
desires.
hopes.
fears.
Write about what you wanted to be, what you have become, what hasn't happened yet, what you would like to happen. I hope you get the idea?
It does not have to be a true story, but that is acceptable, i am happy with reading stories about your other selves!! Your fantasy self.
The story can be about anything - no holds barred!!!
LET RIP WITH YOUR IMAGINATIONS AND WRITE ABOUT YOURSELVES AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE. What you fantasise about being, doing - whatever it may be.
dark.
scary.killer.
murderer.Lover.
monster.serial killer.
or
kind. loving.
fluffy.
sensual.
kinky.
weird.
strange.
The choice is yours.
Good Luck
