Ok everyone bear with me, this may seem kind of confusing.

First of all, as soon as you start thinking outside the "box" you will be a quieter maybe even more shy. The benefits are you'll think with so much more creativity, and you'll understand more of that pseudo mind stuff.

Now, imagine your mind as a perfect sphere structure, with no crevaces, cracks, or smudges.

Done that? Good

Now think about pulling a piece of "this" structure off of your mind. You'll feel different. Now keep pulling it, till you feel a strange different sensation. This "feeling" you have right now is the feeling of a person thats been broken down mentally. You may be thinking, whoah isn't that a bad thing? It is in some ways, but in other ways it's a very good thing.

If you practice "this", eventually you'll begin to look outside the box.

heh, agreed

any ideas on how to compensate?

There is no perfect. Just better than last, or before. Ones mind will always have gaps in it. Whether it be emotions or thoughts, they will always be there.

I'm not saying people's mind's are perfect. I'm saying you need to view you're mind as a perfect structure to see the imperfections in it.

I don't think there is a 'right' and a 'wrong' way of finding imperfections in your mind... I know where a lot of my imperfections lie and I have never practised your idea. I don't think you can tell someone how to think like they do... it simply will not work...

BOX!! Noone ever told me about a box! What box is it that I'm supposed to be thinking outside of??!! What color is it!? How big is it!? What shape, square, rectangle, other?! Is it filled with something!? Tell me more about this "box"!

Damn it! Noone ever told me about a damn box!!

(runs over to wall to repeatedly bang head against . . . BOX! BOX! BOX! OUCH!!!)

Thats right, everyone is living in a little prison in themselves.

I just posted the way "I" as an individual got outside "this" box myself.

Precisely... If you want out of the box, then ou have got to get out of ideas like "right" and "wrong"" or "good & evil", because these are the things that defines this "box".

ppl should think however they wanan think..i think

When I started to think outside of this box, I then thought I was crazy. Then I thought outside of that box and asked myself, 'what is crazy?' Then I realised that there are multiple boxes inside of one big box. This bigger box being life. Therefore you need to be dead to be able to think freely. That's the conclusion that I've reached anyway.

I find I think best when I have nothing to worry about, and i'm by myself.
