“Happily, you donāt have to deal with the content of mind, because the only thing you have to notice about it, is that what itās doing, itās doing spontaneously. Itās not the content of mind thatās interesting at all, what is of interest is the process of mind, itās going on of its own. It has nothing to do with you, couldnāt care less about you. Itāll say very nasty things about you, you know what the mind does. āYouāre guilty, youāre weak, youāre wasting your money, youāreĀ a creep!ā You canāt trust the mind at all, itās not even your friend. Itās not even a friend. It just goes on and willy-nilly says all kinds of, when it runs out of thoughts, itāll say, ibbity bibbity boo, boppity, bop, bop, bop. Picture some erotic scene from some movie when you were a teenager. Itāll think of something horrible about the future. Oh my, when the mind gets threatened with no thoughts, it really gets wild, itāll just do anything crazy, think of stabbing yourself or something. You know, itāll just do anything bizarre to keep going. When you look at the mind, then, donāt be bothered with it. Itās an endless phantasmagoria. I like that word, phantasmagoria. It just proliferates endless BS.”
