produce consciousness and commitment: the practice of mindfulness Meditating on impermanence
There is only one way to produce consciousness, remember to be aware, careful, receptive, present several times during the day, continuously throughout life. Because we are this: consciousness. Culture does not produce consciousness, does not produce consciousness thought, conscience does not produce science, religion does not produce consciousness ... consciousness is produced only by the constant awareness, through a choice, decision and practice.
Without this practice, our consciousness is only one species and does not evolve. What is practice? We are aware, and everything that happens to us is at the level of our awareness. Human consciousness is not that of a dog or tree, is something higher. This then is the essence of man. What would be a man without a conscience? Nothing more than a robot.
must allocate part of our time to this exercise: to be conscious, for better or for worse, in joy and in sorrow. Search spaces of silence and solitude to become more aware.
consciousness applies to the experience, but one stands out because it revises. Who does not reprocess the experience through the practice of mindfulness ends up living on the surface and mechanically, and therefore do not grow, it is as if he lived in vain, it's like living with a driving less. A great shame.
course, requires an awareness effort (if not more attention) and sometimes scary: it's like seeing a movie on themselves, which is not always pleasant. Do not know the rule, because it takes a sleek look that controls emotions too deep. So the more they take refuge in processing alcohol, drugs, talking, watching television or simply numb myriad activities of daily living, often useless. Instead of producing consciousness, occurring talk, evasions and property. It is here that comes from the inglorious history of the world?

Diy Martial Arts Belt Display Rack
Meditating on impermanence is to become aware that nothing can last, that everything is destined to end - not just me, not only you, but the whole world and the universe. Everything falls apart, everything is corrupt, everything breaks down, all ages, everything is sick, everything dies. In twenty, forty or seventy years, we who read these lines will be very few hours, and, in a hundred years, no one. Not only will the disappeared persons and things, not just the rich and the poor will be dead, not only are the empires collapsed, not only the geography of the world and the universe will be changed, but our thoughts, our love, our concerns, our successes and our failures, our hopes and our fears will not be nothing left.
And then we arrive at a nihilistic vision, a complete despair? Not exactly. Because, if nothing will last, even our despair, even our suffering, is gone. Just wait with sleek look and not rely on false hopes. And among the false hope that there is also that we will not be affected by adversity and pain. All of this is predictable and controllable. Everything passes, yes, happiness is suffering.
look at ourselves and the world in light of the great cosmic perspective. We're small, tiny, insignificant. In a few years, most of us do not remember anyone. E 'with this awareness that we recognize the importance of every minute, the fact of living in the present, this present, this moment. Forget the hopes, ambitions, fears and dreams of glory are a waste of time, a theft attention. And resize the desires that torment us and the events that now seem huge. No obstacle, no suffering is unbeatable: just leave it to nature and time. We have our good fortune we had - we have opened our eyes to this world ... even if only for a moment.

The end of the world
We are the usual. For a dead bird here is that someone comes to the end of the world, someone else brings up the prophecies of Nostradamus and someone else mentions the Book of Revelation. It 's true that man is a sick animal - but mentally ill! - And nothing proves anything because their disease.
wake up: never mind the prophecies. The fear is that we fear to die and our pessimism stems from the fact that we are unhappy. But what difference can there be between die and die together one at a time? You do not need a prophet to know that everyone there is still an apocalypse: illness, old age and death are there for everyone.
All in all, if the world ended with a single bang, there would be some advantages: first of all would end a lot of tension (that of living beings who are forced to kill each other to survive) and then there would be no one to cry others. And finally, those who miss the humanity?

Sex education and religion
The Pope argues that sex education in schools is a threat to freedom religious. Nothing less. And someone said that actually the Catholic sex education - with all its taboos, its prohibitions and its complex - is a threat to personal freedom.
I would add that it is an attempt, often successful, to human happiness.

Wrath "divine"
Someone has calculated that the 'wrath of God "is mentioned in the Old Testament 518 times - a very bad example for man. If God can not control his impulses, and if it is a simple man as jealous husband and his wife, no one is led to believe that anger and jealousy are serious failures of character. And that is why civilization is a civilization born from the Bible of rage, jealous of the possession and war. Only now, that people are becoming less religious, one begins to understand that the greatest virtue is not faith, hope and charity, but calm, balance and detachment. Of course, to understand this, we change the scale of values \u200b\u200band do meditation.

How Much Is A New Refrigerator Thermostat
Many people think that meditation is primarily to empty the mind of worries. But this is only a first step, an emptiness which is an early form of liberation from the conditioning circuits and mental usual - if you will, is a test of their spiritual powers. However, such a step is not enough: stay empty help reset your mind and see clearly. Then it is necessary a second phase: filling the void with constructive energy and proactive, with a force that will allow us to think and act differently. Where does this force? It comes from their own destiny, by your soul, from the depths of his being more authentic.
If so far we have followed the way of all, the way of social and psychological conditions, from now on we must open our individual way, that we came to the world. Here we also need the courage, the decision, the challenge and risk.

Empty and full benefits of meditation
In a survey of Cristina Mochi ("The Friday of the Republic" of 01/07/2011) stands out as mindfulness meditation bring undeniable benefits to physical and mental health, certified by controls with CT and MRI, and that is an improvement in the power of recollection, an increase of neurons, enhancing the immune system and a reduction of anxiety and depression. The mindfulness meditation (mindfulness) is to bring the mind to this, by detecting and discarding the negative mental contents. In other words, paying attention to what he produces his own mind, when the content is negative (positive but also a fantasy), one must conclude that the thought (or image or mood) is not the reality, and then to bring attention to the present, the here and now (for example, the breath).
Here meditation method is not considered an esoteric, but a tool for improving health in general. With twenty minutes of this practice, you will get these improvements.
This is useful to begin to meditate, beyond their religious beliefs. But let's not forget that meditation is much more: it is a way to strengthen their spirituality, understood as a clear vision of themselves and reality. In fact, the "clear vision" is when you get rid not only of their own fantasies and the mental chatter, but also the intellectual superstructure, such as the philosophies and religions, then, is not expected, but it shows. And you can see First, the falsity of their beliefs intellectuals. Because reality does not go thought, but seen.

The purpose of life
What is spirituality? What is not, rather! If man's purpose was only to produce consumer goods and cheerfully squandering, to acquire as much as possible and enjoy it, then he would not be nothing but a consumer and there should be no poverty, sickness, old age and death as the man would live under the influence of a drug. It is the unpleasant reality (suffering) that tell us that life can not be a party - or even a tragedy, because there is some benefit. The continuing crisis, individual and social reveal that the distribution of assets (physical, economic and mental) is still unbalanced and unfair. So, in light of all this, what can be the purpose of life? Certainly not happiness, certainly not the hedonism - and not the opposite of these things, but a distillation and accumulation (the good and bad) of something, not knowing how else to define, we call "spirit."
This means to be spiritual. Keeping an eye on the dynamics of pleasure and pain, choose the way of clear vision, learning and evolution. Then open your eyes this existence, if only for a moment, makes sense ... if you can keep your eyes open enough.

The freedom of faith
Pope defends the freedom of faith (Christian). The Pope wakes up only when there is half the freedom of faith of Christians, but never says anything when religious freedom is denied by Christians. For example, in Milan, the right-wing junta, composed of ultra-Catholic League supporters and, in any way prevents Muslims from having a place of worship. Why the pope does not say anything? And why does not say anything about the past, when Christian missionaries paved the way for the persecution of other religions and encouraged the extermination of entire populations (in Latin America, Australia, the United States, Africa, etc..)? At least the previous Pope had apologized for these genocide.
The truth is that all religions hate each other and would, if they could, destroy the other. In fact, if one religion is true, all others are false. For Christians, the only true God is a man who lived 2000 years ago. For Muslims, the only prophet of God Muhammad. For Jews, the only true God is what he chose them - coincidentally - as the beloved people. And never mind the Indian religions.
religions that preach love is always directed to those who submit and accept their message. But, when someone disagrees or criticizes or marries another religion, then that love turns to hate. No, not by religions that will be a peaceful world.

Bath Houses Sacramento
We know that on his deathbed, gripped by terror, many are converted. But it is true faith? I have my doubts. As it says in Accabadora Michela Murgia, "in moments of weakness, some prefer to become believers become stronger."
Maybe the ex-Catholic is the retropensiero: that evil can do a conversion at the last moment? the bottom is a nice convenience. Okay, but authenticity may have? It is usually the individual who wants to be clever? And God may fall?
We are in the usual farce of hypocrisy - that is right in Catholicism.

Year 2011 Conversion
do not know why we celebrate New Year, another year has passed, another year it is subtracted: there is to be sad, not happy. But perhaps to celebrate forget the sadness in the sound - this are the shooting, the barrels and the wine: to stun, to make us forget that we move closer and closer to the end.
This year, in Italy, only one dead and five wounded, with severed fingers, severed hands and wounds from bullets and explosions. What bliss!
How many are we? Five billion? Now we are five billion people who dream of being alive as we approach death, we all have the same dream: the dream of being alive in this world. But we are alive?
In fact, if dream, means we are alive and half dead, we are in a state of trance, in fact we are asleep. For us there is no awakening, the awakening will be the last moment of life when we realize that it was all a dream. Then he came in possession of our true identity, not this half-zombie state.
But something you can do right now: You can realize that we are dreaming. How do I prove it? The proof that we live in a dream is the dream ends, because every dream ends. The death is proof that we are dreaming, death is the end of the dream.
We must therefore always go through a death to land to reality. The death of the dreaming mind. And the middle is always the same: to try to realize the state from where we are sleepwalking.
