"A human being is like a television set with millions of channels.... We cannot let just one channel dominate us. We have the seed of everything in us, and we have to recover our own sovereignty."

— Thich Nhat Hanh

[Trevor M]

How can any "human" not feel thankful for people such as these who know the root of all evil or love is in our own minds.

Allowing external influencers to manipulate us to break our bonds as ONENESS is what has caused all the sicknesses in the world today.

Luke: I cant believe it

Yoda: That's why you fail.

You should look into some of the Buddhist practices more thoroughly before angrily dismissing it. It is only your response that appears superficial and reactionary. This is not magic. It is good psychology. In fact, 'Mindfulness' has often to used with a great deal of success as a form of CBT for a variety of mental health issues including anxiety and depression.

Where can I find the next part of this interview, Thanxx ..

[Stephan Kocher]

Two confused men, speaking a little bit complicated and therfore welcome by any people that understand absolutely nothing. Any superficial person, that knows how to hide it, having read some esoteric texts, wiil do. VERY UGLY TO MISUSE THE TRUST OF SO MANY POEPLE, KNOWING THAT THEY ABSOLUTLEY CAN NOT HELP.

The last time I got REALLY ANGRY, I started being mindful about how my body, mind, and spirit felt, and I realized: I was in terrible agony. It really hurt. There was energy, but it was not good energy, it was diseased. So I am now more mindful, I modulate my vibe, I meditate because anger and fear is really suffering and there is already enough of that. Namaste.

Anger is born of angry thought. Self-enquire, "To whom has the thought arisen?" and abide in the Self.

Or our mind is a TV with million channels. If we fail to 'tune' in to a different

channel, we will never even know that it exists.

The problem is a closed mind!

"Hold your anger like a mother holds a baby." Sage words.

A man came to the Prophet and said, “Advise me.” He (the Prophet said), “Do not become angry.” The man repeated (his request) several times and he (the Prophet) said, “Do not become angry.”

Two men that I very deeply respect and admire. Wow.
