Being

Don't be sad that you're sad, thinking that it will never go away.  

Don't be happy that you're happy, thinking that it will last forever.

Look around and learn

I look at my dog and notice how content and carefree he is; he is completely living in the moment.
In comparison, I look cumbersome and unease in every possible way.

First Ever Meditation Afterthought

Meditation is basically a practice where you sit still for a period of time while keeping your mind still.  After over a year of wanting to practice meditation, I finally did it earlier today.  I did attempted meditating several times before.  The first time was using the Chakra Balancing box set that I bought with CDs and a study book guiding you through meditations for different chakra.  Half way through the introduction, the author told me I cannot have any financial worries.  Apparently I was broke as hell so I couldn't continue.  When I looked for some direction for meditating, I found more kinds of meditations than I could count.  That's when I lost interest and thought "why does it have to be so damn complicated?'.  I also went to learningmeditation.com and tried several audio guided meditations but I never went very deep.  Today I just decided to meditate on my own, so I just sat on my bed and close my eyes and started focusing on my mind without any music or guide.  What I saw and felt during the 35mins after the jump.

Boy Meditated For Months Without Food And Water. o_O (Video)

If you want your mind to be blown away, this documentary is your best bet.  This boy, Ram Bahadur Bomjon, in India was claimed to be able to survive without any food and water for months, a team from the discovery channel went and investigate.  Let me give you a heads-up, no they didn't take the boy away and analyzed him.  BUT in the later parts of the documentary, another man claimed that he could survive without any food and water.  So they locked him up and monitored him 24/7 for 10 straight days without ANY food and water.  Without spoiling everything in the documentary, let's just say that he didn't die.

Watch these vids and have your mind blown away.
