Monkey mind The human mind is not to be trusted. Few people are logical, clear and internally balanced. Decisions are reached and actions taken without any rational thought taking place. It like rummaging through an old box of junk and pulling something out at random. A choice is justified by the ego, but seldom considered at length. Contemplation is not popular these days. It takes too long and people fail to understand the benefits. Rather than examine the consequences, the relationships involved or the variables present - people simply blunder forward and then express surprise when things fail. Our minds are a rampaging mess of thoughts, feelings, emotions, opinions, memories, received knowledge, rules, codes, symbols and influences. Meditation is the beginning of sorting out the mess. The aim is to empty the box completely.
