I love this quote from the myths discussion regarding not being able to clear the mind:
"I'm having thoughts may be the most important thought you have ever thought, because before you had that thought, you may not have even known you were having thoughts. You probably thought you were your thoughts. Simply noticing that you are having thoughts is a breakthrough because it begins to shift your internal reference point from ego mind to witnessing awareness. As you become less identified with your thoughts and stories, you experience greater peace and open to new possibilities."
Like many people, when I first started meditation, I thought the object was to empty one's mind for transcendental peace. This makes far more sense. I love the non judgemental, just 'being, meditation.
Thanks again for leading this course, Andy.
