MASTER OF YOUR SHIP

WITHOUT PRESENT AWARENESS THE MIND CAN RUN AGROUND

If your body is a ship and your mind is the helm, then surely you are the captain.

You are the one aware of the ship and the calm or stormy waters ahead. Why then, would you abandon your post and say, “aghrrrrr me lads, the ship is in the safe hands of the helm, to steer and turn, this way and that".

Chances are, the ship would run aground or worse still smash against the rocks. Surely that would be sea sickness to think the ship is safe without the aware captain behind the helm to guide the voyage.

You are the master of the ship and you use the helm to set its course.

Left to its own devices, the mind will always spin into perilous chaos.
