Dear NB,

>> "Permanent mind chatter, leading to a lack of focus and of short-term
memory, as well as to problems of intellectual assimilation". <<

The issue here is a lack of mental discipline, not mind chatter. Mind
chatter is fed by your focus upon it -- the observation exercise teaches
you that, yes? If your mind chatter distracts you then take control of
your mind and focus it elsewhere. This is not something that can be
rectified by labeling the *mind chatter* as a negative character trait.
The only way to rectify this is to strengthen your mental discipline.

>> In this case, Rawn, are you suggesting that taking care of the rest
of the black mirror will make the mind chatter to stop being an handicap
? <<

No. All this will do is change the nature of the mind chatter, the
things it speaks about and the emotions it expresses, but it will do
nothing to eliminate the hold that it has over your attention. That is
a separate issue that must be addressed from the perspective of mental
discipline.

My best to you,
