Meditation and its Cures

Meditation cures mental woes; yes, you heard it correctly. Not only mental woes, but physical woes as well. Quieting the mind is such a necessary step in our ridiculously busy society.

Challenges can make one unstoppable

To face what seems to be insurmountable challenges, to feel as though your world fell apart, to face what seems to be certain doom, and come out of it stronger than ever; that is what perseverence is.

Only by letting go completely, only by losing oneself, does one find self....

September 16

It seems as though on the one hand I have learned a tremendous amount about the nature of energy, of reality.... but the beliefs I hold are difficult to be accepting of. I continue to make judgements on myself. I know that every time I make a judgement that something I did was "good", or "bad", I am continuing to subscribe to not be accepting of my beliefs. I continue to try.

It seems

It seems one of the points of life is to realize that all of your experiences come from within you.... that there IS no outside.

I notice now

I notice now.... that the happiest moments of my life.... have been the times when I forget who I am... whether it be looking at a beautiful flower, or being lost in a sunny day.... I was so alive in the moment that my existence was no longer singular. I had actually become the environment around me, the trees, the sky, the very stars in the sky existed for me, and were me.

Perhaps

Perhaps suffering has its own purpose.... to extinguish the flames of desire, and thus lead to everlasting peace; the peace of simultaneous time, the peace of eternity. Perhaps it is this peace I am longing after, and the pleasures of physicalness are outdated for me.
