Cherished Matter Of My Mind Comments

This illustrates a blessed condition of mind. The key word here is benign: your mind has accumulatred so much thought and verbiage, it hardly needs any more input. But the mind can't choose but think so you have to keep processing more data, even though what can be called your philosophy is complete. Now that the foundation of your PENSEES is so complete, you can relax, so to speak. The heavy lifting is finished, from now on - the writing is a pleasure.
