Busy-ness ... what is it? 

I notice that some people like to be busy all the time. Horrors if there is some moment in their life when there is nothing to do. 

And I wonder if these people create busy-ness just to not hear their mind saying, "OK, now what?" constantly all day long.

It remind me of a story that I heard so long ago about a genie who fulfilled his owner's wishes in a split second and drove the owner crazy. (Here's one version: http://www.sanatansociety.org/indian_epics_and_stories/the_gini.htm)

Can we not find a pole that our genie mind can go and up down all day long and therefore not bug us for new orders?

This website is about what I call the busy-ness issue. It's not about quieting or controlling the mind. It's about finding something else within us to follow all day long.
