The Millipede’s Dilemma
The Millipede’s Dilemma is a timeless story about overthinking, or pathological thinking… how the mind, in its attempt to understand, can interrupt the natural intelligence that’s already at work.
The Beaver, the Tortoise, and the Spotless Mirror
This is a modern retelling of an old classic Zen story of “polishing a tile”.
This story is why sometimes Zen teachers speak about “polishing tiles” in your meditation practice.
They mean that the conditioned mind is still doing something that it “thinks” is meditation.
