STEPPING STONES

The First Step
It seemed to me that mind control is very simple. The Great Ones say that control your mind to win the battles of life easily. So I set about controlling. A few minutes of sitting quiet. No resistance to thoughts. They come and go. A few more minutes of stillness and my mind seems to run out of thoughts. Out of sheer boredom the mind says enough is enough. Now everything is calm and quiet. “Hey look ma no thoughts!!” But that is a thought! To think I have no thoughts is a thought! But then how do you know you have stopped thinking without telling yourself so? Looks slightly complicated. Next time I will shut up and reserve my bragging to the end.
