Meditation: A way to achieve your goals in your life

University of California, Santa Cruz via Coursera

Overview

Do we truly think that we have lived for ourselves? Perhaps we have lived for money, love, fame, family, and pride. Despite having these, we often feel unsatisfied. This dissatisfaction stems from not knowing our true selves.

Eric Fromm described human nature in two modes: “To Have” and “To Be”. When we are driven by possessions, we feel empty and futile. To embrace our true selves, the “Being” nature, we need to break free from the mindsets that control us.

Reflect on yourself and the journey of your mind up to this point. Can we achieve our goals after knowing ourselves? Discover the “Being” nature of your original self by escaping from the controlling false mindsets.

This lecture explains the mind's definition and principles in simple terms. You will learn and practice methods to find your true inner self by shedding the false mind of possession.

Self-reflection is the first step to meditation. Through meditation, you can understand yourself objectively and realize that your thoughts and actions stem from nonexistent, false minds. By discarding the false mind, you unveil the true mind.

Meditation is a global sensation. Research shows that habitual self-reflection through meditation can make people effective leaders. This practice is increasingly popular in schools and workplaces.

True happiness comes from having no worries. Meditation helps you relax by removing unnecessary thoughts. Knowing your true self leads to success. Worries originate from memorized thoughts of the false mind, and meditation reveals your inner positive power. Your mind will be peaceful and happy, allowing you to live the life you desire.

This practical meditation method is accessible to everyone. As an engineer, I will guide you step-by-step through this meditation practice. This lecture could be a turning point in your life.
