Hello, members and gurus!!
Our journey is to master our mind and indeed to master our bodies. You do not want to create reality for the sake of an emotional rush. You do not want to create reality for the sake of your image, your sexuality, the way you look, your religion, your economics. You don’t want to use this brain for your image except for its resources, its frozen thoughts, its frozen memory. You want to make that brain fire that memory without any emotion. And if you can do it without emotion, you won’t have any judgment.

Or maybe it can be interpreted in both ways?
Below is some more context....
2. And the blue fonted part....
“You don’t want to use”, “You want to make “ can interpreted to mean either as (A) some kind of a command or direction, as in “You do not want to fight with me”, or (B) it is simply stating a fact. Which is the correct understanding, (A) command, or (B) simple fact?
