Just observe how the mind justifies all that it does. It has never been disciplined to be still so it creates most of its problems just so it has something to do. It says to do something and turns around and questions why it was done. It should be treated as a separate entity as if it's an enemy because upon further review it will be seen that it is, but it's not the mind that's the enemy, it's the way it has been conditioned, that's the enemy.
This conditioning blocks the true nature of the mind from arising. It's only conditioned to be this way because of all the surrounding influences, but it is we ourselves (unconsciously) who attach to these conditioned mind patterns. Learning about your own mind is a way to undo what has been done. This learning about your own mind is not about the great secrets of the Universe becoming known, it's more so about getting an understanding of why the things that are done don't allow cooperation to hear what life has to say. When this is understood, why you respond to things a certain things will be known. After all if you don’t do the things in your life that allow cooperation with it, you will never hear what life has to say...
