pleasing and displeasing the monkey

When you are pleased with yourself, you are simply reflecting energy back to an illusion -- a process of ghostly masturbation. When displeased with yourself, you are slicing this self with knives -- an act of ghostly mutilation.

Both are ways of enhancing your ghost, that you made up so long ago and have carried around like a monkey on your back for so long you think your back is your core. Please the monkey. Taunt the monkey. A monkey that does not exist.

Have no thoughts of pleasure or displeasure toward your self. 
Have no thoughts of your self at all.
If they do arise, smile at them gently and let them go.

  2. Wups. Sorry, Patrick. Here is your comment:

    If there's no monkey than why do I keep buying all these bananas? :)

    I agree -- the monkey does not exist, but the ghosts of time can be crafty when they find they are being undone. I'll follow your guidance and smile as I let them go. Masterbation and mutilation clearly don't get you very far...
