They say madness cannot be imagined "from the inside", but I think I know what it is. It is when you are betrayed by what you thought would never betray you - your will, your ability to control, your attention. It is the specific pattern of their movement that is 50% of madness, the other 50% is that you think that you are them, attention, intention, will, control, desire and therefore you cannot step aside from madness, because it is generated by what you sincerely consider yourself - there is no room for retreat for the untrained mind.

In this sense, I see meditation as step aside from identification with attention, intention, will, control, desire. But this is my opinion.
