The BEST you can then do is to just Watch it... Just become Silent Alert Witness... See its Course... Watch it come and go... Remain Alert ...remain Unattached! If you drop your Attention, it will try to take you 'Over'! Each thought, each emotion ...is a 'living entity'! Not just that it wants to grow and take the HOST 'Over'.... In fact, it wants to Spread!!! That is Why, a 'malicious' thought is called an Infectious Parasite... A Sane thought one the other hand is NOT called a parasite. Yet, it has pretty much SAME Properties. This too has tendency to grow, develop, spread and ...join with OTHERS of it 'Like'! You might call it a fragrance! ....but, this too spreads!
