    Dear Marco,

    >> So it seems to me as I were a puppet with their will
    dominating in the deep of myself, not mine. <<

    This is just the brain-bound aspect of Mind that you're witnessing. It
    has only as much power over you as you give it. Once you have
    recognized its existence you can *ignore* it and thereby access higher
    aspects of your Mind.

    You could think of this lowest aspect of Mind as being the result of
    neurons firing around your brain. As they fly about, these "little"
    thoughts are generated. It's not exactly "thinking", per se, so much as
    it is merely "brain function". These "little" thoughts are, for the
    most part, unimportant and pointless.

    >> I start to observe that beyond every
    thought it hides itself a sort of fashion, of trick. Why should I
    think them? lots of them have no sense, only fashion. Recurrent
    thoughts, the ones who appear harmless, they are the worst. In the
    moment you think they are won, in the following moment they re-appear
    in all their fashion. Mind seems to appear to have a his life,
    detached from me as a organizzation of his life without I have some
    part in it. So it seems to me as I were a puppet with their will
    dominating in the deep of myself, not mine. <<

    I sense in this description as feeling of resentment or disapproval or
    ?, in regard to these facts. Yes? Does this aspect of your Mind bother
    you somewhat? Does your lack of control over it incite a feeling of
    antagonism against it? If this is so, then I suggest that you let those
    feelings go and simply accept it for what it is, without bias. Just let
    it be and simply observe it.

    In this case, thought "control" means simply taking notice of it and
    examining it so that you can recognize it. For more info on the meaning
    of "control" in this context, check out

    >> I would like to know whether this observation is correct. If anyone
    can give me, in his more vast experience, direction. <<

    Sounds to me like you're doing fairly well with this exercise. :) When
    you have learned to distance yourself from it completely and can do this
    uninterrupted for the allotted amount of time, then move on to the next
    mental exercise.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
