Yes.
I have had many big issues with the music industry.
Our musical world is in a very different place in the world.
We do not speak the language of F desirable.
Our music is veryodd grabbing the world because it's not theyson on which we live.
We do not speak the language of F cooked.
We do not hear.
.
Because this language is still but then what they were thinking is that they were knowing what to say and they could be in good language until they became And generally there are many levels actually actually,
Or many stages to meditation.
In fact,
We talk about nine levels you can go through in meditation.
And there's even an image that illustrates this with a road on which there's an elephant,
And sometimes on top of the elephant is a monkey,
And then there's a monk walking next to the elephant.
And the elephant is our crazy mind,
And the monk represents mindfulness.
And so the image evolves as it goes through these nine levels of meditation.
So the first level actually is what we're talking about now,
The level of temporarily benefiting this life,
Of getting some temporary and kind of immediate results.
From the first to the ninth,
We can both talk about progressing in a more mundane way to benefit our minds mundanely and our lives mundanely,
Or progress spiritually to the level of enlightenment through all of these nine stages of meditation.
Yes.
A constant rescue of muscles tends to tend to say that hearts arm does not affect power applied to oneself.
Kinda how it is compared sheep,
Sheep are better,
Right?
So a STATE EDUCATION When awho BUY,
These forms can do 10 times more harm,
And the bl Gaward inadvertence to and we can be more conscious of the world and we can be more conscious of the world.
So everything I've been talking about so far is mostly this first path or progression on the mundane level of cultivating happiness and trying to diminish our pain,
Uneasiness or suffering in this life.
And for that,
You can practice meditation and you don't need to follow any religion.
Everyone can meditate in order to create more happiness and less trouble in their lives.
Just like we can take the example of yoga.
Before yoga was actually a religious.
.
.
It was a part of the Hindu religion,
It was an activity that was a part of religious life for the Hindus.
But today everyone does yoga as a way of taking care of their bodies.
Well,
Just in the same way,
These days anyone can practice mindfulness as a way of taking care of their minds.
You don't need to follow any religion for that.
If you follow the second path though,
The spiritual path,
Then you get into practicing the Dharma and using all sorts of different methods and meditations in order to progress on that path,
On the spiritual path.
Because of meditation.
We So the first stage is mental placement,
Placing the mind.
So I was giving the example of this crazy elephant,
Or the crazy elephant that represents our minds that are just so fast,
Can't stay in one place for an instant,
Constantly going from one thing to the other.
So this is the type of mind that won't stay when you tell it to stay,
That won't eat what you tell it to eat.
This is the type of mind that always says no to you.
And how to work with that mind,
How to kind of tame that mind,
Is first to rest it or to place it.
Heidi and then you can rest your mind on the ground and then you can rest your mind on the ground and rest your mind on the ground So this stage of resting,
Replacing the mind For this you can use an object,
A material object that you just place in front of you It could be an image,
It could be a flower,
It could be a candle and you place it in front of you and you just place your mind on that you rest your mind on that However long you can,
A minute,
Two minutes,
Three minutes you just try to place your mind where your eyes are resting So you look at the object and your mind tries to focus there too Okay,
You can use your breath just as I was saying before,
That's also fine Or sound So this is the first level of meditation when you're trying to
