So, I listen to classical music a lot. But problem is, its stuck in my head.. Beethoven, Mozart, plays in my head, between gaps in attention, meditation etc, etc.. Or sometimes, just overpowering and focus my attention on the part of my mind thats inattentive, silencing it, then pops right back a minute later..
I figure, well, its better than having some pop radio song stuck ,but know really I shouldn't have anything playing in my head.. But its Beethoven though, how can it be wrong right?
But I was wondering, say is it just the better of two evils to have Mozart stuck playing in your head than whatever is on the radio if you cant be present in the moment to transform the sounds coming into your eardrums as you listen. Is it just my laziness using any excuse to not work and keep my mind distracted, and the sophisticated mechanisms to put my consciousness to sleep?
Should I just stop listening to classical music if it overstimulates my mind and I cant keep from songs playing in my head?
Or is having a constant sound track in your head of Beethoven's 9th good for your emotional center in any way? :P

Mechanicity is a characteristic of the ego.
A mind that knows only how to imitate is mechanical; it is a machine that functions but is incapable of creating, that does not know how to truly think, because it only repeats, and that is all.
When the mind is conditioned by memory, it only repeats what it has accumulated.
We need to study our dialectic, our thoughts, our emotions, our actions from moment to moment, without justifying or condemning them. We need to integrally comprehend each and every one of our defects in all the profundities of our mind.
