Assets that grow in value over time and, as a result, can produce long-term financial security. In my case, for example, It’s an online business asset that provided me ongoing financial freedom, enjoyment, satisfaction and in addition allows me to make a living while traveling around the world.

]]> Comment on Vipassana Experience by Kenneth Elder http://www.tal-gur.com/blog/index.php/archives/90#comment-849 Kenneth Elder Fri, 03 Feb 2012 05:44:42 +0000 http://www.tal-gur.com/blog/index.php/archives/90#comment-849 Most vipassana groups encourage one to begin gradually increasing the meditation time at home before doing a long intense meditation retreat. The first level of attainment of the Liberation of Nibbana, Stream-entry does not produce a permanent detachment from the senses. It does dissolve away the illusion that anything in our body or mind is some unchanging permanent Self and with that almost all fear of death. Each mind moment conditions the next. Meditation is not an all or nothing thing. I would encourage Tal to do a short mindful sit everyday. It does have health benefits and benefits in job, etc. I started vipassana here in Austin Texas way back in 1971 with just books as my teacher. I have had some brain damage since but still get up every morning to meditate, just not as much of it was when I was young and spent many a month vacation in summer in the mountains meditating. In lucid dreams I have been shown the choices for my next life and I will again pick up vipassana and be even better at it having spent a lifetime meditating to the degree my banged up brain can handle. It was good that I started out young and had some early success. Life is very impermanent including the brain.

This year, my partner and I had lengthy conversations to get aligned and establish support for each other's goals. Frustration can easily manifests itself otherwise :) Thanks for sharing Mathew & great points.

Beautiful progression. I think the step that has been the biggest challenge for me previously has been 'laying the groundwork'. With the buzz that new goals create, I previously haven't stoped to consider all the consequences that my goals will bring (postive and negative), and instead rush in. Until we are fully aware of the consequences, their is a chance that our goals will be un-aligned with the rest of our life. As an example from my recent 5 goal analysis which I did through a variety of NLP timeline exercises, I identified that one of the consequences of achieving my goal might be the negative impact this intense focus has on my relationship. In order to move forward with my goal I had to be open to the possability that succeeding with my goal might alos mean failing with my relationship. If I didn't go through this process, and gain internal ecology, then it's possible that I might have sabotaged myself from achieiving the goal at some point. Great post Tal. Beautiful progression.
