Reply To: And yet I keep trying

But who is the I who possesses a mind as in your statement “it is my own mind”?

I tend to think it a better idea to think of MIND as open space, rather than MY mind as an entity. The mind is rather like a clear sky in which clouds/thoughts simply form and disperse. Trying to control this mind is a futile task. Better to try to cultivate simple awareness and let thoughts rise, be there, and fall away, without trying to fight or bring thoughts under control.
