The Truth cannot be put into words. It can only be experienced directly in quiet observation. "You cannot see Reality with your mind." -- Zen The mind is filter that you (the observer) experiences life through -- it is a collection of perceptions, beliefs, concepts, narratives, and words conditioned by one's personal and ancestral past. We get attached to the mind and can only see life through its limited perspective -- duality, ego, craving, aversion, and fear of death. According to the 8-limbed Path of Yoga to see the Truth one must purify the mind with meditation. Through the practice of meditation (awareness and non-attachment) the mind becomes purified of all conditioned perceptions, beliefs, etc. and all that remains is the experience of the Truth. Do you meditate?

See ya there!

Meditation is the practice of detaching from your thoughts and intentionally keeping your attention in one place. The purpose is to help you realize that you are not the mind (intellect, ego, thoughts), and to reprogram it so its no longer scattered. To a Raja yogi meditation is the only way to freedom outside of pure surrender. What are you meditating on this week?
