Life is short. You want to make sure you put the time you have to the best use. And the best use is training your own mind.
Everything else you do comes out of the mind. Whether itβs things you do with the body, words you say with your speech, it all has to come from the mind. Your interactions with other people are going to be skillful or unskillful based on how well your mind is trained. So this should be the prime focus, your first priority when youβre looking at your life to decide whatβs important, what needs to be done.

Even when we rediscover the singular reality of Consciousness as the essence of our being, we continue to be individuals, each with our unique history, culture, limits, and conditioning.
For each of us and as a collective, there is a hidden side to be explored, rippling under the surface of waking state consciousness.
