When something occurs desiring it different won’t change it. Desire is what causes the noise in the head and only when there’s awareness of trying to change the unchangeable will there be quiet…
It’s important to understand what the noise in the head is if it’s ever going to quiet and stop its incessant control. It may never quiet completely and that’s ok because it’s not about quiet so much as it is learning to be aware of the noise. You may say I’m always talking about the mind settling and quietness and now I’m saying learn to be aware of the noise, but that’s exactly the point. In learning to be aware of the noise the mind becomes quiet and somewhat settled. So many people try to quiet the mind and don’t realize the trying is noise. You will never quiet the mind, it’s just about impossible, but things can be practiced that allows awareness to arise. The most important part of this is to understand every thought is noise, thoughts of love – noise, thoughts of hate – noise, positive thoughts – noise, negative thoughts – noise, everything is noise until the time comes that the noise becomes quiet; not because it goes away, but because there’s awareness of it.
You see, not desiring things different is quiet, but most desire things as they are wanted and therein lies the noise in the head. Once something occurs no amount of desiring it different will change it. What you can do is establish a mindset that doesn’t desire things different. If you don’t you will remain in the discontent of the noise in the head that desires to change the unchangeable. So learning to be aware of whatever occurs is how the mind settles; until this happens the noise in the head will desire things different as it remains in control…
