The Bankrupt Mind
The mind is timeless and eternal, so how can we have a bankrupt mind? As I see it, the ego in mind, with its perception of chronological time, is the problem. The thinking process that we use with its verbalization ties us to the world of the past, present and future. It makes us time travellers who believe that thinking will solve all our problems and fear that we might disappear from the mind if we stop thinking. Thus the thinking process in most individuals becomes a self-sustaining process where one thought ends and another begins. It becomes like a squirrel in a cage where one goes round and round in circles. It becomes a habit where one feels that one cannot stop thinking.

The Medusa Phenomenon
In Greek mythology, Medusa was a monster with a human female face. From her scalp grew living venomous snakes instead of hair. She looked so hideous that gazing directly upon her would turn anyone into stone. In my mind, I regard this fear of turning into stone, very much like the fear of transforming oneself into a new person when confronted with reality, as the Medusa Phenomenon.

The Salida Express
Brysen is a college student that is very well-liked among his peers. He is always that kind ear that his friends can always depend on to vent out their frustrations and emotional support. Brysen doesn’t mind this at first, but after dealing with stress of his own, he didn’t have that type of person to turn to. This will lead to Brysen continuously being stressed after every story told by one of his friends, which also slowly lead him to being depressed. Brysen would never turn his friends away at the risk of hurting their feelings, even at the expense of his own. One day, Brysen got back to his house in a fit of rage over failing one of his exams, and had no way to alleviate the stress that he was feeling. Brysen gets a call from one of his friends, Tony. Reluctantly, Brysen answers the phone.
