Meditation is a patient process of knowing that gradually over time, habits are dissolving. We don’t actually get rid of anything. We are just steadfast with ourselves, developing clearer awareness and becoming honest about who we are and what we do.
—Pema Chödrön,
Whether pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral, gross or subtle, every sensation shares the same characteristic: it arises and passes away, arises and passes away.
—S. N. Goenka

Certain friends in our lives help keep us from falling during our most complicated moments. Friends that offer us their time and affection so that we may feel better. A shoulder to cry on that won’t ask for anything in return. Instead they obtain satisfaction when we get that emotional relief we so desperately need during hard times. These are our true friends.
That’s why, as people tend to say, during your worst times, you’ll find out who deserves to be there with you during your best times. Because these people are like your anchor to reality. They are a source of support, a latch to your life and the good things it holds.

Found another blog of some interest maybe -
Darwin taught us that we all come into the world with a set of resources that help us survive, some way or another. Like Abraham Maslow said, survival is the foundation, and self-realization is at the top of the hierarchical pyramid of our needs.
Abraham Maslow was very interested in the traits of people who function in a more fulfilled, healthy, adjusted, and well-adapted way. According to him, everyone has the potential for self-realization, motivated by intrinsic desires to become the best kind of person they could be.
Eduardo Punset explains that, unlike other animals, our life cycle allows us to set two different yet related goals. One is the upkeep and care of one’s body. And the second is be happy. The increased life expectancy of our species plays favorably into the second.

A more appealing interpretation of happiness is one that has to do with virtue. It puts us firmly in the driving seat and makes us think about our objectives. It makes us think about virtues such as thanking, forgiving or loving. Activities that embrace the past, the present and the future in our very being. Activities that will ensure a good outcome for our personal story, and the possibility of sharing in the present and giving us hope for the future.
On this path there is also a desire to know. For getting to know others, but also for getting to know ourselves too. A second knowledge that will never end, just like the first one mentioned above, but one that gives calmness and security. If we walk this way through life there will be questions, and a few answers too. Our shadow will become our happiness. The shadow which shows us the difference between the need to have and the need to be.

Yet more at that same site - check-out the menus -
To speak of the mind is to speak of a somewhat abstract concept, which is not at all clear for many people. It is a word that aims to encompass the processes that happens in our brain: thought, consciousness, perception, beliefs, desires, sensations, etc. The mind is the terrain where conscious, unconscious and functional processes take place.
That mind is reflected in ideas, actions and different manifestations of brain activity. All this is produced from structured processes. In other words, all this mental activity is not random, rather it obeys patterns or blueprints that are learned throughout life. This does not mean that it is something unchangeable. In the brain, everything is susceptible to change.
Three Types of Minds, Which Is Yours?
Have a good one!

For cooking/diet thread? -
Difference pepitas pumpkin seeds -
I had this (not brilliant at all) idea to try to shell the pumpkin seeds that were being excavated from the many, many carved pumpkins around my office—the thinking being that hulling the seeds would produce something more workable and multipurpose, namely pepitas (“little seed of squash” in Spanish). Because pepitas are shelled pumpkin seeds, right?
Think again.
There are a few tutorials online about how to shell pumpkin seeds: Some require a hammer, some a rolling pin, others boiling water, but most warn that it’s a fairly laborious task. It sort of seemed worthwhile, though: With a little elbow grease, I, too!, could turn tough seeds from a carving pumpkin into expensive delicate ones.
After excavating these little seeds from their unyielding white exterior in indeed a really strenuous manner (is this how they do it for mass-produced pepitas?, I wondered), not only did the hulled seeds crumble upon human contact—but they weren’t green like pepitas. They were pale and tasted fine; some roasting might’ve gotten them to a more friendly state—but there was no way they’d hold up under heat.
