Imagine if for the next twenty-four hours you had to wear a cap
that amplified your thoughts so that everyone
within a hundred yards of you could hear
every thought that passed through your head.
.
Imagine if the mind were broadcast so that
all about you could overhear your thoughts and fantasies,
your dreams and fears.
.
How embarrassed or fearful would you be to go outside?
.
How long would you let your fear of the mind continue to isolate you from the hearts of others?
.
And though this experiment sounds like one which few might care to participate in,
imagine how freeing it would be at last to have nothing to hide.
And how miraculous it would be to see that all others' minds too
were filled with the same confusion and fantasies,
the same insecurity and doubt.
.
How long would it take the judgmental mind to begin to release its grasp,
to see through the illusion of separateness,
to recognize with some humor the craziness of all beings' minds,
the craziness of mind itself?
