Just the Beginning

The philosopher Descartes made his famous statement "I think, therefore I am. " While I live by this mantra I believe it would be amazing to have incredible liberation beyond the dreadful enslavement to incessant thinking. One day I will be completely in the moment of the now and stop talking about the future that I really know nothing about yet.

Please read-------The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. Even the first 20 Pages are life altering.

I know that I am able to turn off my mind whenever I want to. It is an amazing talent. My mind doesn't use me unless I let it. I watch and listen to myself think and then make a choice for myself. The only things that truly matter to me are inner peace and if my children and I have it. I hope that via channeling love and kindness upon others that they will strive for inner peace for themselves too.

The best thing that I have done for my children recently is opening their minds to the power of meditation and building their own 'nest'.

The next goal for myself is to push myself to meditate more and strive to reach an out of body experience.

    You are so right, Lindsey, this is only the beginning. I think that I am going to check out that book, I can never get too much inspiration.

It has been great working with you this semester.

I reach for my glasses and let out a sigh. Ah, there I am, an aging masterpiece, not like fine wine or aged cheese but of a thick chunk of mortadella, tiny fat deposits around my sweet and nutty bits. I brush my hair and begin my day. I like a slow start with a glass of water. Hence, my skin stays hydrated enough I can continue to call them love lines. I stay healthy by taking my daily herbs, and pre/probiotics, eating some sheep yogurt to satisfy my belly guggles, nibbling on a good size chunck of 90% dark chocolate and swallowing some Crazy Goat blend of Klatch coffee. It's time for a good stare out my front window overlooking the valley before I get serious about my day. Recently, our new fur baby has interrupted my daily reading and study. He is an adorable train wreck to ...

What Problems? I don't have any problems!

All problems are illusions of the mind. If you found yourself in paradise, it wouldn’t be long before your mind would say “yes, but…” Ultimately, this is not about solving your problems. It’s about realizing that there are no problems. There are only situations to be dealt with now or to be left alone and accepted as part of the present moment until they change or can be changed.
