A Beautiful Mind - John Nash!
Though it has been in my mind for nearly 2 years to watch that, it was finally possible only last sunday. That was a different experience completely. Believe me, it's not an easy film to watch. But once finished watching, I couldn't resist myself from thinking of John Nash or rather his "beautiful mind". I felt that this living man has once more proved the strength of will power of a human mind, even in its abnormalities.
After thinking over it for a while, I didn't feel that his problem "schizophrenia" is so strange. In fact, I felt that many of the "normal" people suffer from it, but in a different manner, may not be to that extent too.
All the fears/tensions that come and go in our daily lives, aren't they manifestations of our own mind only ? Exactly as in Nash's case, as long as one "feels" that they are real, and try to interact with them, they make the life still more miserable. Once it is understood that all these are just the creations of our own mind, one can take the decision to encourage / ignore them. Ofcourse, it needs constant efforts and determination not to pay attention to those illusions, to win over them! But that's worth it. Dont we want our minds beautiful too?

One thing is to ignore the fears and anxieties htat arise in the mind thinking that these are mere illusions. But this is a real tedious task. But a better method would be to remove the source of fears and illusions and make the mind free of them. Then there won't arise any question of ignoring them because they dont' exist anymore. Surely this is a better way of making the mind beautiful.
The post was in connection to Nash's life, where he with his constant efforts started ignoring the "illusions"
I didn't completely get what u meant by removing the source. In case of Nash what it would be to remove the source of his illusions?
My comment was in general and not in respect of Nash's case. Anyways what i meant by removing the source was to lessen the feeling of I or the ego which is the cause of fears or anxieties to the maximum extent and in it place allow the Spirit to work.
