that was an excellent rant! thanks @likedeeler, was interesting to find out about the analogy with the lake and bubbles of thoughts surfacing and how you consciously pull back the energy when you realize some thoughts are in formation. Good to know that this is a possibility, I find that the meditation practice is like a never-ending learning opportunity, delving deeper and deeper.. such a fascinating journey!
Nice to journey with you on the ecotrain. Best wishes!
Thanks.
Sometimes you might not like what you find, delving deeper and deeper, but like the surgeon who does not stop cutting until he has removed the tumor completely, we also have to keep cutting away at the monkey mind.
Totally agree! Keep going no matter what. Thanks for the strong advice!
