Day Three Hundred and fifty four

When I touch the stone, I also think of things. Yet touching feels continuous. This is an illusion because the mind can only recognize one thing at a time. Further still, even if 'only' touching, it is made of many impulses. How fascinating, then, that concentration can be developed at all.

In any case, I consider latent impulses, latent energy. How and why does an object look like a stream of thought when it can be interrupted by meditation? Ah, that's better; interrupt my 'stream' of thoughts with meditation. It appears to me that while the mind has only the capacity for one thing at a time, it activates mind files and body cues continually. Why does it go back to one or another for the creation of a thought process?

I consider some of the games I play; 'smarter than', 'stupider than', 'considerate' (as vs some inconsiderate being), 'safer', 'stronger', 'weaker' (righteously of course). Can I let go of any of them? Perhaps if I observe how they make me.
