Personal Development

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.

Online Collaboration, Zen, Personal Development

Daniel Doen Silberberg Sensei talks about how collaboration in the practice is like collaboration of music. Zen practice will look different in the West than it did in Japan- that will take time, but Lost Coin can contribute by being a creative mix and influence.
