“If the energy is not blocked, things can come and go inside, and even things that normally would cause disturbance, they happen, you experience them, but they don't cause this tremendous turmoil inside of mind because they didn't hit the blockages that when the blockages release their energy, it expresses itself in the mind.
It's like something coming up from a spring that comes up from underneath, causes wavelets and all kinds of things.
Not to mention an earthquake, an underwater earthquake, my god, causes tsunamis, causes all kinds of things.
So when your stuff underneath gets disturbed, gets started, is aggravated, it releases the energy, blocked energy that it has, and it comes up and hit your mind from underneath, and your mind starts spewing different thoughts and all kinds of stuff based on that.
That is what's happening. It's not the outside world that's causing the problem.”
