IGNORE THE MONKEY

'Training' or 'Taming the monkey mind', is an expression often used in meditation circles. Let's ignore the monkey mind for a while. Perhaps then it will just shut up.

Whichever
God, God isn't so much the Christian word, it's the English word – See The Great Creative Energy for details.
great spirit, or inner higher power you worship, follow, or get help from, being still and waiting for the spirit or inspiration is often advised. Panoramic sensing is the natural way to be still and wait.

Stop thinking and sense panoramically with your eyes and ears.

The experience of oneness is largely dependent on an ideal environment. When the intense feeling of presence is missing, then there is still a sense of wholeness.

When the sensation of oneness isn't apparent; and even if a feeling for the wholeness of life and belonging in the environment is missing: panoramic sensing is always, inescapably completely here and now.

It's important to realise that all such states are unnatural for focusing. We can only focus on one part of what is here. Focusing has evolved to be aware of small specific parts, and can only make the parts into a whole again through combination, association, and relationships.

Panoramic awareness can be used in combination with any form of focused worship or meditation etc. without endangering or subverting any cherished belief.

It is probably not as powerful as love or devotional belief can be; and i doubt if by itself it could ever be strong enough to overcome the routine mechanics of the ego, or replace forgiveness.

But it's easily accessible, and we can trust it to work without even having to believe in it. Therefore, it would be an excellent practical first step for most religious systems.

Panoramic sensing is the oldest, original, most natural, tried and tested form of being awake, aware, and here and now, and directly in touch with everything in the immediate environment.

The chattering monkey becomes silent by ignoring him.
