Everyone should be trying to discipline their mind every day, it takes work to get your brain thinking a positive and helpful way. You need to be in control of yourself not fleeting external influences.

“If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself.”

― Albert Einstein

Very, very cool- but how could consciousness really differ?

Meditation tone

The rhythm slowly gets slower.
try to match your breath to a two cycle in, two cycle out kind of pace.
It gets reeeaaal slow, very relaxing.

Mark Twain Quote

Man has been here 32,000 years. That it took a hundred million years to prepare the world for him is proof that that is what it was done for. I suppose it is. I dunno. If the Eiffel tower were now representing the world's age, the skin of paint on the pinnacle-knob at its summit would represent man's share of that age; & anybody would perceive that that skin was what the tower was built for. I reckon they would. I dunno.
- "Was the World Made for Man?"

Michio Kaku: The Universe in a Nutshell

That is not dead which can eternal lie, yet with stranger aeons, even Death may die.

H.P. Lovecraft

In the belief of reincarnation, the "soul" is constantly passing into new bodies and the space in between births is thought to be seemingly short to the living and very long to the deceased (It is believed that the longer you stay in a meditative state of peace while living the space between death and life shortens,) this is why you cannot remember pasty lives, they feel VERY distant.

Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation... even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.
Leonardo da Vinci

There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there.
