Inside-Out 2
What if what’s bothering me isn’t outside but inside – another idea?
It’s my choice to identify with it, to choose to entertain it or not.
Thoughts and ideas are constantly offering themselves. Zen calls that constant chatter the ‘monkey mind’.
Zen suggests that meditation stills the monkey mind and allows us to rest in the stillness from which all thought arises.
That then is the goal – to rest in the stillness that we call ‘God’ or ‘soul’, to have the stillness be our default. To check our choice of which thoughts to entertain against our stillness, intuition, and go from there.
