"Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche called our continued inner distractedness 'subconscious gossip,' a kind of ongoing drone of thought fragments and opinions. As a corollary he talked about what he called 'entertainment mind.' This entertainment mind needs to be fed constantly. If there are no immediate distractions, it will manufacture new distractions on the spot."
"Our hope is that if we keep all this distractedness going, we will not have
to look at who we are, we will not have to feel, we will not have to see what
we see."
to look at who we are, we will not have to feel, we will not have to see what
we see."
