All that can naturally occur, and result from simply learning to relax the mind, is astounding. When there is a total relaxation like this something amazing happens, and it happens all on its own without trying. Moreover, this change can last and continue to become more and more remarkable. I would invite you to look at some of the figures in our world today. There are world leaders, billionaires, actors and musicians, philanthropists, doctors, scientists, business leaders, all with a great deal of material and social accomplishment. Yet, there is no guarantee they will realize any semblance of lasting inner-peace and harmony within themselves. It’s because one has nothing to do with the other. Inner-peace and the joy of living isn’t dependent on these circumstances. Instead, they are dependent on us, and where we place the direction of our minds. Where is your mind now, and what are you thinking? What words are occurring? Did you choose this stream of thinking? Does this stream of thought feel and seem familiar? Is it the same thought you’ve had before? How many times before? Do you even know?
