The mind creates...

It is only after we enquire deeply that we can at all discover the world which is presented to our senses is really presented to our mind, because the senses themselves are forms of consciousness.

The thing is there outside us, but it is only the idea we have formed of it in our mind.

The one seems outside us and the other inside us but ultimately the essence of both is mental.

Mind actually creates what it experiences and actually experiences what it creates.

The experiencing mind creates the experience out of itself in such a way that the illusion of receiving it from an external source holds sway.
