Passive mind


Oh! Passive mind

 

2 Corinthians 6:14     New English Translation

Unequal Partners

14 Do not become partners with those who do not believe, for what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

 

You offer outside forces the opportunity to take you at their will

You are easily deceived now and are insensitive

You are like a coat in a closet just hanging waiting to be used

There is little left in you that can be called positive

 

You are inviting outside forces simply to deceive to you

You have no resistance for you want to be you

You do not think by yourself and seldom seem to reason

You never investigate or measure what to do

 

You are just like putty in someone else’s hand

You are only activated by a power outside yourself

The light of the bible seems indifferent to you

You don’t care about purity being only responsible to self
