Inner Silence and Beliefs

Daniel Doen Silberberg Sensei talks about clearing the mind and silence. He talks about experiences over the course of his life in which he realized the ability to control his thoughts, the value of being able to do so, and the realizations that flowed from those moments.

Personal Development

2391180204_61b27a9616

I have been looking at a number of interesting blogs that deal with personal development. I think there is a great deal of valuable information out there. However an important element, sometimes missing is addressing the nature of our minds. How the mind works unconsciously and mechanically and how we can actually train our minds to understand and do so much more. Adding this meta-element – observation and training – changes the whole thing. We have understood this in music, athletics, chess, business and many other fields. Are we ready to start work on breaking the walls rather than decorating them with ideas, default behavioral patterns and beliefs.

We can look at is as a new age. The one after the age of information – the age of amplification. With information and amplification combined the limits expand exponentially.
