      From: skepticalenquirer@gmail.com              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.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
