Re: mind chatter : what plane ?

Rawn and Newbie,

I am in no way an authority on human psychology nor this work we 
are all engaged in. In fact, one would be a fool to trust in an 
anonymous email poster no one knows anything about. But in the end, 
we all have to know the truth for ourselves, not by taking some one 
else's word for it, but by finding the evidence for ourselves. 
Regarding "mind chatter" not being a shortcoming: 

Not everyone would necessarily agree. Some might say that "mind 
chatter" creates an obstacle both to external observation (by adding 
things to impressions) and internal action (by blocking will), that 
it diffuses and wastes energy, that it is a sign of a lack of inner 
unity and control. Mind chatter may increase negative emotions, if it 
is critical and judging, it may delude consciousness if it constantly 
self-justifies, explains away, or otherwise hides the truth. Mind 
chatter helps to obscure the real, by allowing some one to judge 
others by a standard other than they judge themselves. Mind chatter 
can lead to one identifying with one's thoughts and mental states 
instead of controlling them. I think a better statement would be that 
mind chatter may or may not be a shortcoming, or symptomatic of a 
shortcoming, but I do think it is dangerous to rule it out all 
together.
