How to get out of the stories in one's head? || Acharya Prashant (2019)

Question: If one lives in stories, the stories that are conversations with oneself, how does one get out of them?

Acharya Prashant Ji: Check! Check!

All your stories are about objects in the universe. Your stories have no fresh elements at all. All the actors, all the players, all the settings, all the props, are coming from experience. It could be conscious experience or latent experience.

So everything that is there in your story, is actually present in the universe as an objective element as well.

So check!

(Acharya Ji pointing at the audio recorder kept on the table) For example, you looked at this, and then your story this is some kind of a supercomputer. And this supercomputer is enabling you to become the President of the world.

And from there your story is really taking off. You are doing all kinds of magical things, and forcing your whip upon every second person, and all those things. What is the entire story based on? It is based on the negation of a fact. What is the fact that your story is deliberately distorting? That this is a supercomputer.
