Hi Steve,

 

Sure, all is the mind. But you have to *do* something, right? The

mind is always active until it's not. While it's active, it's useful

to turn it on itself and see what happens. Or you can use the

activity to wash your car and eat a burger.

 

Do you have an aversion to sitting quietly and observing the mind,

inquiring " who or what is this? "

 

If so, why?
