“One day you may catch yourself smiling at the voice in your head, as you would smile at the antics of a child. This means that you no longer take the content of your mind all that seriously, as your sense of self does not depend on it.”

Eckhart Tolle This idea is of critical importance in maintaining serenity. You will never truly experience peace of mind until you have through practice, using directed mindfulness mediation. learned to rein in the wild horses of your conscious mind. We see quotes with this exact bit of wisdom from Lao Tzu, the Buddha, the Zen Masters, Ram Dass, Alan Watts, the Dalai Lama and many others. All saying the same thing: Learn mindfulness, quiet the chatter in your mind by taking control of your inner dialog and you will experience true joy, you will see the world in a new and fresh light and you will never be the same again. When ever a bit of wisdom is found in several different times and places in a variety of spiritual traditions chances are it is universal in scope and a very valuable bit of knowledge. Samsaran.
