Gurdjieff said something like "the mind was like a carriage"... there are the horses, the driver, and the passenger. When you are talking about your mind moving "too fast," who is it that is saying that? The driver, or the passenger. Perhaps your driver must get the horses under control? Maybe the driver is pushing the horses, and the passenger must get the driver under control?


What if there is more than one carriage?

So what exactly is the reason that our minds are going so fast?


We have so much to think about and so little time to think it.

Inability to filter stuff (thoughts, sensations, etc.) out is a big problem for me. I feel like I'm being bombared by stuff. I have a poor filter. Focusing on my narrow interests gives me some relief.
