   I think there is some wisdom in the teachings of Buddhism and mindfulness   
   meditation. Although you shouldn't become obsessed with it that you neglect   
   your daily living like work and settling accounts. Thoughts drip into the   
   subconscious like droplets of    
   water on a surface of water or like clouds floating past. The key to peace is   
   to not get fixated with them but maybe let go and observe and try to   
   understand them. There are many man made Gods and man made holy books made to   
   order from the rulers of    
   their day but that is all they are they are man made. Extreme religions,   
   politics and even nationalism create a fixation on an idea or thought which   
   can lead to war with opposing ideas or any idea contrary to it. Experts in the   
   mind and neuroscience now    
   admit that there might be some truth in the meditation teachings etc of past   
   masters.
