You can try fighting but there is no changing the current&#8217;s constancy. Somewhere I read about a mystic who said if you are really in charge of the mind than what is your next thought going to be?\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t understand the point he was trying to make but now I think he meant that thoughts are like the unstoppable current of the river. If you try to study yourself you sort of fall victim to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle because the nature of you studying you implies there are two of you. One who is the detective and one that is the natural you but that can&#8217;t be because you are only one mind.
