"Undisciplined minds" indulging blame and attack without noticing the damage is a precise, testable claim regardless of the theological framing around it. Most people don't consciously choose defensiveness. It just runs, unexamined, the same groove worn deeper each time nobody interrupts it to ask whether the thought actually deserves the authority it's been given — the gap Elanima's own daily practice is built to install.

Navigating consciousness the same way you'd navigate the outer world is a harder challenge, since the outer world gives you visible obstacles to route around and the inner one doesn't announce itself nearly as clearly. Impulsivity isn't a character flaw sitting outside the fixable category. It's just a pattern that hasn't yet had that gap installed between the thought arriving and the thought getting acted on.

I read A Course in Miracles a few decades back, when it first came out. Quite powerful at the time. In my songwriting ventures I came up with a piece that seemed to fit right in. You can sample it here - Free Streaming at the Site: https://drmoe2000.bandcamp.com/track/little-miracles

I was doing the Avstar courses where I meet many that were in the miracles movement.

The mind. The enemy within. Meanwhile bright mature thoughtful people do well. Im impulsive. Kiss if self destruction. Just sharing.
