I am very happy in having gef[0] reply to my last publication about "Mindfulness"[1]. I am continuing my and gef's cycle of happinesses replies, now with this publication :-) .
gef touched a subject[2] that interested me, and it was:
(...)
So at first a daily sitting is important, a
daily reflection on what happened today,(...)
I agree this is right, with a minor correction... you may focus on what happened on the day that has passed by, and you may also focus on the day you are encountering just ahead, or on what is happening now. So, daily seating while reflecting on whatever part of your day (recent future, now, recent past) :-) .
gef, I hope you don't take my modification the wrong way ;-) .
Now, I am leaving you with a modification of a great snippet of a book I am reading... Here it is:
There was a great mystic person of a village, who was always laughing. He was old, and it was time for his death, and he was laughing. People did not understand the, or ever seen such, laughing. So a person asks him how can he still remain laughing, even while dealing with death.
The mystic -- "Daniel" was his name -- said the trick was a mere suggestion to ownself. It is a choice... The mystic said that when he wakes up, before he opens up his eyes, he asks: "Daniel, what do you want? Unhappiness? Happinesses? Which is your choice today?", and Daniel always chose Happinesses. He thought, "why would a person choose unhappiness?"... because it is so anti-natural. Also, he added the thought: "... if a person chooses unhappiness maybe is because that person feels happy with that.".
