[quote:Anonymous Coward 4625381:MV8xNjkzNjMxXzI3OTk1MTg5Xzk2Q0ZFMDRE] meditation is good, but don't get lost in technique but true progress occurs when thoughts can be silenced saying that causes great debate (usually by those who can't stop thinking) and that doesn't mean [i]entirely[/i] but it is a valuable key and the others reveal themselves after you have mastered this one [/quote]

This is something I hold very highly in my life and thought it would be nice to share. You must walk the middle path to fully appreciate the beauty that surrounds you. Accept your life, no matter what faults you may have....you can change. You are change. Live the life you want to live.

"The first sign is the glimpsing of the "Clear Light of Reality," "the infallible mind of the pure mystic state." This is the awareness of energy transformations with no imposition of mental categories."
"The second phenomenon might be called "biological life-flow." Here the person becomes aware of physiological and biochemical processes; rhythmic pulsing activity within the body. Often this may be sensed as powerful motors or generators continously throbbing and radiating energy. An endless flow of cellular forms and colors flashes by. Internal biological processes may also be heard with characteristic swooshing, crackling, and pounding noises. Again the person must resist the temptation to label or control these processes. At this point you are tuned in to areas of the nervous system which are inaccessible to routine perception. You cannot drag your ego into the molecular processes of life. These processes are a billion years older than the learned conceptual mind."
"At this point, it is necessary to inject a word of benign warning. Reading this manual is extremely useful, but no words can communicate experience."
