so my question is this- for the sake of exchange- and broadening horizons for all,
how do you clear the chatter in your mind?
sometimes it is easy- others not... the pull is strong- regardless of direction
i am constantly reminded of a saying i picked up at a small time job-
"aint nothin' to it- but to do it"
"in the state of wonderment"

Help for Divine Squirrel and all those experiencing difficulty with meditation:

http://www.dhamma.org/en/bycountry/na/ "The remote control of our mind should rest firmly in the palm of our hand." Imagine one with such mental control. Emotions, ideas and memories are at his beck and call. If anger comes, he can change the channel. The same with jealousy and greed. He can recall any past event, like reversing a DVD. If he wants ideas, he only need turn to the "idea channel" and a stream of creative ideas will flow forth. No more staring at the blank screen of writer’s block. Total and complete mental control—this is what IAM Meditation offers.

Cool ! Thanx much brother ! Can't get much better than that, very exact this IAM Meditation seems to be, even down to the remote control idea.
From Steve: Many people ask these questiond over and over. But until they decide to take the dip and practice the techniques of the Masters how can they get the answers? There are people who have been doing these practices for life times. How can we imagine that we can just come up with some home brew answer in a few days or even a life time? How can we even imagine that are friends have the answers? we need to find those who have the answers and who offer us meditation techniques of liberation and actually follow them. Then we can ask the questions. If there is a school right by and you can learn about certain subjects; where do you go? the School and so it is with medtation and stilling the mind. so again i offer this information from those who know:
