The most impotant thing that I should learn is how to stop, the second most important thing is how to move.

Don't look through your ego's eyes, let the ego look through your eyes.

A New Start

It is about three years that I haven't written anything here. These days I think I am taking the practice  more seriously than before. More over, I think now I have a better closeness to the practice, I think I am starting to understand it more wholeheartedly. So I decided to write about my search and practice once again.

 Last time, I was trying to write as clear as possible and to keep the text as understandable as I can. I have always considered clarity a very important standard of any writing that is going to convey some information and I still do hold this belief, however, sticking too hard to this principle makes it very difficult to write down ideas in their first stages of formation. This time I am not necessarily going to talk about things that have become more clear to me, I also want to talk about the raw ideas that I just come by and don't want to lose them. The language and terms in those parts may get quite vague or personal but the overall trend that I wish to see is to start from some vague ideas and to get to a more understandable and reasonable representation of them by examining them emperically(somehow) and critically.

 Not much more to say for this post, so like the the first time

One of the most important teachings of mindfulness meditation is that when emotions arise we can, we really can, stop from getting involved.

In times of dissatisfaction, I found it helpful to ask my self: "Am I taking it too seriously? How important is it?"

...

When I am in a bad condition, but at the same time I don't like to change, I usually find myself clinging (unconsciously) to something in my current situation. When I find the thing, and when I know why I am clinging to it, change gets much easier.

So what is it that I am clinging to right now? What is it that I am averting right now?

The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.
