sometimes the mind feels like a wild horse attached to a rope and ya keep trying to tame it but it wont play ball, often pulling and sucking my attention or wandering of into the future. often chucks the toys out of the pram and finds fault in everything and never happy for long. i can see its judgments towards others, i can see its insecure i can see it suffering like the child it is and all it wants is to be loved

And that is it's job.
The Mind's job is to keep us separated from the Truth...from Reality; from Bliss.
Knowing this, we become less agitated to it and unemotionally laugh at it.
We redirect to what is important ...and that is to be where we want to be...centered, connected and
at peace within inside ourselves....
as a starting point...to more.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

Memory makes a groove in the brain...like wagon wheels that make a rut...
that future wheels fall into.
My words, but influenced by Dr. Caroline Leaf
Rather than thinking about and then writing about how things
'drag you along' and are 'torturous'...replace those thoughts immediately
with memories of bliss and the successes in reaching peace.
Make those pathways deeper and more traveled.

Seems pretty simple, love it and make it feel secure rather than try to tame it with a rope ...
Pretty sure the same goes for the whole person too.

I've never tried that approach...love it, make the mind feel secure.
I trick the mind...."You can think all these things later, now is not the time."
Of course, later comes and I ignore it and it gets tired of trying to bother me....'cuz I'm not interested.
I'm really no fun for the devil-mind, the monkey-mind to play with...

Thanks miss Hepburn. Like many others I tried talking to it sitting watching it's patterns and behaviour to find it quiteing down to the point were I think it's gone, and then it just takes someone or something to trigger it's emergence and it comes back and leaves me flabbergasted lol. I'm aware ya can't get rid of the "ego" though it does transform into a positive one. With each showing of itself there's more of a ripeness to it maybe that's when it will drop.
