We wander our paths feeling alone, separate from everyone and everything. At times on my life’s journey, I’ve witnessed the kinship we all have to the loving Divine Self / Source. It’s our minds and physical nature that keep pulling us toward separateness.

Perseverance
Our life is a journey down a long path that extends infinitely into the future. Through perseverance, we experience the textures of our path and everything surrounding us at this moment.
Right Concentration
A meditator begins by eliminating the unwholesome mental states obstructing inner calm to attain concentration. Right Concentration is the most straightforward and practical means of temporarily dispelling the repetitive thoughts of the everyday mind. Practice “right concentration” not to experience blissful states but to help us consider uncertainty.
Right Mindfulness
Right mindfulness is to be diligently aware, mindful, and attentive with regard to physical activities, feelings, pursuits of the mind, and ideas. Remain independent, not clinging to anything in the world. Make yourself fully alert when walking, standing, sitting, talking, and remaining silent.
Right Effort / Diligence
Right effort/diligence is the energetic will to prevent unwholesome states of mind from arising. Stay relaxed. Make your effort diligent, yet joyful.
