Improper use of intellect

This sounds a lot like how I was brought up!!!!


“When the intellect is improperly used, however, it is as if the intellect feels required to somehow know or personally direct all of those inner processes.  When the erroneous belief systems and negativity connected with so-called rational reason apply, then it is as if our person sees the target, but instead of directing his attention to it he concentrates upon all of the different ways that his arrow could go wrong: It could fall to the left or the right, go too far or not far enough, break in the air, fall from his hand, or in multitudinous other ways betray his intent.
“He has switched his attention from the target, of course, completely.  He has projected upon the present event the picture of his fears, rather than the picture of his original intent.  His body, responding to his mental images and his thoughts, brings out actions that mirror his confusion.”
