"The elephant of the mind wandering wildly

Is to be securely bound with the rope of mindfulness

To the pillar of an object of meditation,

Gradually to be tamed with the hook of wisdom."

- Indian scholar-yogi Bhavaviveka

"There are some oddities in the perspective with which we see the world. The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

What Reality Looks Like

This wonderful video is a visual 'walk-through' from Earth to the outer edges of the universe in light time.This is the reality. Perhaps from this perspective can we begin to see the immense fascination of what exactly we are. Perhaps from this perspective can we remedy our unhealthy minds -- the ego (Because of our ignorance the human mind or ego's job and responsibilities wrongly inflates, creating illusions). Perhaps from this perspective can we be humbled by our own ignorant egos that deceive us into thinking that we know how to live and what life is all about. Being humbled  by our own ignorant egos into respecting what we are and respecting others, respecting things, respecting the power of life. Being humbled into beginning to understand what is real and what are illusions in our very reality. Ask yourself: If you were suddenly taken out into deep space, what would you be without your possessions and familial relations and societal standing? The ignorant ego crumbles and disintegrates. We must consistently practice this reality to evolve us as humans, to crush our false egos so that we may understand how to really live. And from there will be the beginning of the real and incontrovertible journey in reaching our highest potential of what we actually are.

Heaven in Thought

"To tell a child to believe in God is nonsense, utter nonsense -- not that God does not exist, but because the child has not yet felt the thirst, the desire, the longing. He is not yet ready to go in search of the truth, the ultimate truth of life. He is not yet mature enough to inquire into the reality of God ... 

Now the longing will never arise, because before the question has taken possession of his soul, the answer has already been supplied. Before he was hungry, the food has been forced into his being. Now, without hunger, this forced food cannot be digested." 

- Book of Wisdom by Osho

All that we are arises with our thoughts.

With our thoughts we make the world."

Learn T'ai Chi for Free

Despite what it looks like to the ignorant eye, T'ai Chi takes massive amounts of concentrated focus. It clears the mind. Learn from Master Champion David-Dorian Ross, "Known as the ultimate workout in China, T'ai Chi is a more physically charged form of energy practice that resembles martial arts in slow motion and will give you the benefits of weight training, aerobics or sports conditioning while exercising your mental-spiritual strength at the same time. You'll see more balance in the way you move, think and feel every day."
