There's A Monkey In My Brain

Today, I sat in meditation, trying to sort out the mess that I have put myself into and the realization came that there is a monkey in my brain, a fool that is messing my life up. This might sound strange or foolish or weird but in reality, this is very commonplace. Inside us are a number of thoughts and forces and energies vying for control over the great resources that we have and a number of these thoughts or forces are monkey-like in nature.

These thoughts masquerade as good, honest thoughts and fool us into thinking that they are wonderful and lull us into the false sense that we are good people. Some of these thoughts are sad thoughts, whining thoughts, oppressed, tragic thoughts that thrive on negativity. This is how we gravitate towards actions and decisions that have the effect or result of making us feel sad or oppressed or tragic, etc. It is a cycle which we are powerless to break due to the fact that we invest these thoughts with the full power of our pesonality.
