We are brought up in a system where we are being told what to do for the majority of the time. So it only seems like part of it when you’re told that you’d be good at a certain profession or that a certain career is for you. This system is how I wasted three …
Meditation is the practise of the observation of thought. The point of meditation is to sit in silence and become aware. To lose who you are and find what you are. There is no who, who is an illusion. You are a focal point of consciousness that thought flows through, merely a vessel. There are …
