Meditation

Meditation is about changing patterns within yourself by bringing your mind to a still point over and over again.

Focus on the big picture

If you're still thinking about a block you're experiencing, then you're only making it more powerful. Whatever the problem you think you have, working on it directly only diverts more of your energy into it. Try, instead, to focus on the big picture, and to establish yourself in a more productive pattern of living. If you pay attention to this pattern - the big picture - eventually all the blocks will fall away on their own.

The Great Saints Were Eccentric

Many of the great saints were eccentric in the extreme. The fact of the matter, however, is that this has nothing to do wth anything. From all great beings you learn that personality is irrelevant. You're not with them to understand why they do the things they do, but to tap into the power from which they do them. If you try to figure out what they're doing or why, your brain will just get broken - which is not entirely a bad thing, of course. This, too, can be a stage in the process, if you keep going.
