In Neutral

/

Patty and I spent time in late 80’s and early 90’s learning about the principles of Mind, Consciousness, and Thought, as originally espoused by Sydney Banks. Joe Bailey is the Minneapolis based psychologist that guided us through the principles. I think I read all the books, available at the time, on the subject.

The concepts were particularly productive for both of us - simple ideas - very effective. One idea that hit home with me was: “Notice the feeling and do nothing”. The idea is clear your mind... put it in neutral... let your thoughts pass through, no fixating. The consequence is a return to the natural state of well being. Like the New England weather - wait fifteen minutes and it will pass.

I had an image of a lone-standing chair, taken at the time, looking out on Green Bay. It was a favorite image, and reminded me of the concept IN NEUTRAL. While meandering the Oregon coast in 2015, I captured another image, I again call, In Neutral.
