Pushing "C"(Inhibition)

"Between each thought there is a resting place. If you studied an electro-encephalograph you'd see that the mind has resting places. In order for us to perceive something clearly, it is important to return to our resting place; not to carry over an idea from the past or an idea about the future. It's somewhat like a calculator. You put in one plus two and you get three. Then you put in two plus two and you'll get seven unless you push "C" for clear, between the two calculations. So it's very important to push "C" or you're going to carry over the last calculation into the present one. So let go of any ideas; just push "C". The point is to return to your center and listen, trust, have faith, have courage. Push C."
