<p><span style="FONT-FAMILY: arial">The first step is best approached by looking at your childhood and seeing if you can find what traumas and fears lurk from there.</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-FAMILY: arial">The second is starting to meditate, learning to stop thinking, trying to control the mind.</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-FAMILY: arial">The third is trusting that it is OK to be open to life and true unconditional love.</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">To achieve the above would be a mega achievement, so do not feel bad if your progress is modest.</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-FAMILY: arial">For your encouragement the reason it will change your life is that it brings greater harmony, more balance and increased peace of mind.</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-FAMILY: arial">So however modest your progress can you think of anything else in this world that can give so much?</span></p>

<div><a name=228246403493524065></a> <h3>Mmmmm - 39 </h3><div><p>&nbsp;</p>
<a href="http://minutillo.com/steve/weblog/images/yin-yang.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://minutillo.com/steve/weblog/images/yin-yang.jpg" width="320"/></a><br/><p>The principal foe of a secondary nature is what was once called <em>phantasy</em>; that is, the reappearance of thoughts and images due to recollection or memory. </p>
<p>Memory is an important power, but mind in itself is not memory<br/></p>
<p>Mind is restless and wandering in its nature, and must be controlled.</p>
<p>Its wandering disposition is necessary or stagnation would result.</p>
<p>But it can be controlled and fixed upon an object or idea.</p>
<p>Now as we are constantly looking at and hearing of new things, the natural restlessness of the mind becomes prominent when we set about pinning it down.</p>
<p>Then memory of many objects, things, subjects, duties, persons, circumstances, and affairs brings up before it the various pictures and thoughts belonging to them. </p>
<p>After these the mind at once tries to go, and we find ourselves wandering from the point.</p>
<p>It must hence follow that the storing of a multiplicity of useless and surely-recurring thoughts is an obstacle to the acquirement of truth. </p>
<p>And this obstacle is the very one peculiar to our present style of life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
