I heard this a long time ago and do not know if it is true, but I was told that the way they used to catch monkeys for one of the drug company experiment labs was to cut a hole in a coconut-0ne of those big- fresh- off- the- tree coconuts just big enough for the monkey to get it's hand in. The monkey would then reach in and scrape up a large hand full of the coconut meat inside and with the fist full of coconut his hand would not come out through the hole. The monkey hunters would just chase them down, because with having to pull along the extra weight of the heavy coconut, the monkeys could not run. The monkey would not turn loose of the coconut so it could pull it's hand back out of the hole and escape. This is one of the most important lessons I ever learned. What are YOU holding on to that is stopping you from being free? For me it was "stuff". Personal possessions and material things, and things that didn't really count for anything. Now when I see somebody trying to add to their "stash" of belongings; their collection of car payments and house payments and boat payments or buying all kinds of clothes or shoes or stereo equipment or anything that keeps them in debt--all I really see is a monkey dragging a coconut!! I hope that helps you while you are young and you don't have to drag along a coconut when you are trying to run free through the wonderful care-free life you can have without all the "stuff" you think you need.
