  Namo Shakyamuni Buddha. How lucky we are to practicing the Dharma and to be Buddhists.

  Wright's book really drew me into Buddhism. I went much deeper into the religious side and mostly reject secular Buddhism except as a teaching tool these days, but I'll always be grateful for this book for helping push me in a good direction. Good talk, I enjoyed this.

  I’ve had the same experience with my consciousness. Seeing the REALITY of everyone and everything. Like he said “no objective reality” when it comes speaking with certain people. Also, the separation of the senses is what plays a big part finding the consciousness. Once our body is taken care of, we can relax our senses and follow with full conscious. This is what I’ve experienced🙏

  Reading this book changed my life in a very balanced way. I objectively view the world will not forget that I am the conscious force that permeates reality, specifically in my localized mass of cells which is called a body. Glad I stumbled upon this talk because I not the book worm type (I have mild ADHD so I'm sure you get the picture) but this book really captivated my attention and his writing style was like a conversation with a friend. Loved his humor and that is very evident in his conduct shown.

  When we are mindful deeply in touch with the present moment our understanding of what is going on deepens and we begin to be filled with acceptance joy peace and love

  I've had similar experiences with anxiety and even once a migraine. It was like I playfully observed the exact shape of the 'migraine' and as soon as I saw it for exactly the form it took it literally vanished. Same with anxiety in my stomach, find the form/shape of anxiety and it just doesn't matter anymore, it just is what it is . Nothing. It untangles the illusion of discomfort. I'd say a year or two practicing mindfulness, bodyscans and yoga and you start to get major benefits of a lack of panic and fear and a vastly improved general state of mind. The trick is not to be too pleased with yourself when you make progress, as soon as you think 'I'm great I can do it! I'm a great meditater! !' The brief empowerment evaporates and it can take a lot more meditation to resume. And obviously don't get annoyed when it doesn't seem to work.
