Loops................................

     We often become trapped in loops of thought that are not useful to our lives or the lives of others.  In fact, these loops of thought can become destructive forces in our lives.  Therefore, we have to regulate the mind.  We achieve this by practicing meditation.  And we must practice in such a way that our minds are naturally attracted toward a useful object—a transformational object.  That is the benefit that a sound method can confer.  The way meditation regulates the mind is by orienting it toward the ultimate Source of contentment.
