Out of Mind experience

The term lazy Sunday afternoon is a metaphor for me as its that time of week when my thoughts sit down for the round table conference to discuss and argue what they want to do in my life in coming days,weeks and years.Its an intense debate among the thoughts each arguing with their past experiences and their future predictions.

Here I am watching the discussion going through twists and turns and judging them how they put up their case.They start of their debate with the best foot forward to impress me.One is asking me to keep going since it argues that if feeling down and depressed about problems being faced in life could bring an end to them,then there is a point to be sad,but its not the case. So it is asking me to face them with strong will.Then the other thought came out with the argument that a will is as strong as what the mind feels.The human mind is like a honey bee.It works hard to gather and relish the honey i.e the sweet taste of success.if the mind can not get its honey even after going through long distances and hurdles then the mind gradually starts dying from inside and starts feeling down and depressed like a honey comb with depleting honey stores.It looks normal from out side but the honey stores are getting empty.The mind gradually starts loosing its ability to generate ideas to look for the ways to gather the sweet taste of success.

Then a new thought came up with the argument that like a honey bee during difficult times when its difficult to get honey it survives by feeding on the honey in the honey comb and starts looking at different places which it never explored before.With out the honey it would not have survived to explore these areas and find new ways to get the honey.Same is the human mind,when faced with adversities in our life it gathers courage and support from the success it has achieved in life till then to replenish it self and scour further for success.The frustration and depression are like the wasps that attack the honey comb when the honey bees are weak.If the honey bees don’t feed on the honey stores in the comb,they would not have enough strength to face and repel the wasps.All the thoughts agreed to this point and I being the judge seeing the proceedings through my out of mind experience was impressed.

I gave my judgment favoring the thought of keep going and face the difficulties with strong will.My out of mind experience is over and my mind is tired after the intense debate.I am making a cup of tea with honey for my Sunday afternoon late tea.
