Is the monkey mind metaphysical?

[FredFred]

Is the monkey mind a metaphysical "thing"? Or is it something that you pin point to in the physical world? Is it tangible? Is it objective? Where does it come from? What is it doing here? What is its purpose? How does it survives? How do we kill it?

I'm interested in what you guys have to say about it

@fredfred

Did this question arise from "monkey mind"? 

[FredFred]

@Vipassana I'm ashamed now x_x

And where does the shame comes from ?

@FredFred You cannot kill mind. Thoughts emotions feelings are given for survival of the body. With out mind one cannot function. 

Thoughts emotions feelings appear and disappear from no where. Obviously they originate from brain. The experiences are stored as memory.

The monkey/the metaphysical (object of experience) co-arise

No, Monkey Mind is caused by you not transcending the Mind or you going through some trauma that threatens the Ego which causes the Mind (which is an agent of the Ego) to freak-out.

@FredFred There is no such thing as a thing. “Physical” is a belief, of Fred’s. There is no you arising, no physicality arising - “Arising” is not actual. If you really desire Truth, go ahead and start a google search about what physical is, what “physical things” are made of. Or, of course, skip that, and self inquire directly.

Grave assumptions.
