On Her Two-Thirds Part

“Finish reading the book or you will lose time”, a voice told her. She finished twenty-pages and she decided to lock herself in the room to concentrate more. She has no other time to spare reading so she must finish it, yet she was still on her two-thirds part as she was too sleepy and could not comprehend anymore.

She had always wanted to read the book until she realized that her second mind was occupying the thought of visiting her home and talking something about life.

SECOND MIND. She bumped into these words twenty-one and a half hours ago. “It can do with anything. If you’re in love with someone, you can have that person inside your head. The same thing happens with someone you want to forget about. But the second mind is a tough thing to deal with. It’s at work regardless of whether you want it to be or not...”

“We’re always impassioned about something… Have you had someone you loved stick in your mind? It’s really terrible when that happens. You travel, you try to forget, but your second mind keeps saying: “Oh, he would really love that!” “Oh, if only he were here”

“The second mind was there, barring the entrance, with its repetitive ideas, its unimportant problems, its melodies, it financial problems, its unresolved passions.”

“Don’t fight your thoughts. They are stronger than you are. If you want to rid yourself of them, accept them. Think about what they want you to think of about until they grow tired.”
