Namaste, Welcome to SAM-VAD (Together In Conversation), this is where we try to draw your attention to things that matter and the importance of our attention, why is that? Now \u2018let us remember this again, \u2018What we give our Attention to matters,\u2019 <\/strong>as Our life\u2019s experience would ultimately amount to whatever we had paid attention to.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attention: is as fundamental as food; and we go blundering about, seeking ways to assuage the craving, instead of learning how to provide ourselves with what we need, sensibly and calmly. Once our attention is drawn to the mechanism of why and what we give attention to, it is as if a veil has been stripped off and we become freer in our action and choices. And that is our endavour.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week I bring to your attention another excerpt which we have titled \u2013 Good Feelings \u2013 Good Vibes & Spiritual Pursuit <\/em>from the book titled \u2018The Mind Field<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 by Robert Ornstein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this book the late Robert Ornstein extends his argument to the sacrosanct psychiatric profession, as well as to meditation, parapsychologies, shamanism, and the numerous trademarked “awareness systems.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the author in the books preface highlights a very thought provoking aspect, he points out that  – We are now on the threshold of a new understanding of man and of consciousness, one which might unite the scientific, objective, external approach of Western civilization and the personal, inward disciplines of the East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good Feelings \u2013 Good Vibes & Spiritual Pursuit<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current cultural difficulty is that many people who are trained to believe that they need help in their personal lives mistakenly assume that “higher studies” will give them what they seek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet,  probably worse than the confusion in the public is that of the practitioners of therapy themselves, who often offer a warmed-over mash of misinterpreted religion, reduced or inflated, and an attempt at “good feeling” or good vibes” to their often unwary clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One should, of course, not hold that personal problems never do exist. These difficulties, whether in the realm of interpersonal relations, illiteracy, poor nutrition, or social and cultural difficulties, must be met and tolerably answered before one’s involvement in esoteric studies begins. Otherwise, this study can become reduced to an appendage to, and magnifier of, a person’s difficulty. Once personal problems are met, the irrational desire for visible “progress” and for the comfort of a secure system of mysticism may be lessened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
