the virgin marilyn. by blaine l. reininger

   The short answer to this question is

  "Me not know!"
    I mean, do you?

 

If you think you know the purpose of human existence, just

 where "here" is, the reason for suffering and death, then tell us.

 Odds are, though, that you don't really have a clue. You are lying

 to yourself if you think otherwise. If you did know you couldn't

 really tell us anyway, because the general consensus among the

 mystics, sages, taxi drivers of the ages is that the answers to

 these questions lie outside the capacity of words to express.

 I drag out a quote I have used often....

This doesn't mean that people haven't tried to put these things into words. That is the reason for this page. Here are some links to sites where systems of belief and other tools for dissecting the soul vie for your attention and credence. I know what I believe, ace, but that's my business.

Basic Meditation Exercise

1. Sit with an alert and relaxed body posture so that you feel relatively comfortable without moving. (You can sit either in a straight-back chair with your feet flat on the floor or on a thick, firm cushion three to six inches off the floor.)
2.Keep your back, neck and head vertically aligned, relax your shoulders and find a comfortable place for your hands (usually on your knees).
3. Bring your attention to your breathing. Observe the breath as it flows in and out. Give full attention to the feeling of the breath as it comes in and goes out. Whenever you find that your attention has moved elsewhere, just note it and let go and gently escort your attention back to the breath, back to the rising and falling of your own belly.
4. When you can maintain some continuity of attention on the breath, try expanding the field of your awareness "around" your belly to include a sense of your body as a whole.
5. Maintain this awareness of the body sitting and breathing, and, when the mind wanders, bring it back to sitting and breathing.
