    YaGi,

    To use a metaphor that is often found more Oriental, most popularly
    known through the Zen tradition though it is found within others,
    traditions is to describe the mind that has all of these thoughts as
    the "Monkey mind". Which, like a monkey, likes to jump and play all
    around. Putting it's attention here one second and there the next.
    Though the process of meditation, specifically the observation of
    thoughts exercise, you are just letting the monkey mind do whatever
    it wants, not participating, and not attempting to make the monkey
    mind sit still -- an act which will only cause it to become more
    agrivated. So, with time the monkey mind eventually get's tired and
    very quiet, allowing for one pointedness and vacancy of mind.

    Just a digression, don't mind me.

    Live well,
    Peter
