And for my next trick . . . .

"With all their promises of paradise you will not hear a laugh"
Bob Dylan - Gates of Eden.

"Life is impermanence"
Gautama Buddha.

I think I am slowly starting to realise (even more) that there is nothing to gain from struggling -
and my experience so far (with or without yoga) has shown me that 'it is all in my mind'.

The conclusion then for me at least is - To take more notice of what I tend to think about and how what I tend to think about affects my outlook and perception of every single thing - including my body chemistry or hormonal output. The 'simple' act of doing this makes it clear to me that 'I' am my own creator and destroyer of peace and anything else for that matter.

This then seems to lead me to the conclusion that if I can stop thinking compulsively then I can create a space in my thoughts - a gap within which is silence and peace and consciousness.

Sat -Chit - Ananda = Being - Consciousness - Bliss

There is only NOW - There will only ever be NOW so why not place our attention here NOW.
