Hi everyone! I am watching the video on "Joy" in the classroom and Zach just said something awesome. That the conditioning that was applied to me throughout my life came through people who were not conscious. If they had been conscious, then they would have taught me how to be conscious. And that as I look back on that, to be compassionate. To be conscious as I look on that and bring consciousness to me and to them. Thank you Zach🙏

The Truth cannot be put into words. It can only be experienced directly in quiet observation. "You cannot see Reality with your mind." -- Zen The mind is filter that you (the observer) experiences life through -- it is a collection of perceptions, beliefs, concepts, narratives, and words conditioned by one's personal and ancestral past. We get attached to the mind and can only see life through its limited perspective -- duality, ego, craving, aversion, and fear of death. According to the 8-limbed Path of Yoga to see the Truth one must purify the mind with meditation. Through the practice of meditation (awareness and non-attachment) the mind becomes purified of all conditioned perceptions, beliefs, etc. and all that remains is the experience of the Truth. Do you meditate?
