Only when we are empty of the world can we begin to be refilled anew in a new way. Just simply taking control is part of the problem. We think we can do this and that, but fall into the same old trap because we haven't dealt with our underlying programmed "nature".
but many require a host of prerequisites to even sit on a cushion.

No matter how we pretend, all our decisions have added up to who we really are. Thats the real us, the one we keep secret.

The only solution is to stop thinking.
Deep meditation, thoughtless mind, such as found in TM, brings a clarity back to mind that brings peace and answers not sought. Other forms of meditation can provide the same, but many require a host of prerequisites to even sit on a cushion.

can you do one simple thing for us, to prove that the mind is truly superior to the fleshly vessel it resides in?
stop breathing. for one whole day. and post video evidence of your feat here on ats. witness accounts would also be greatly appreciated, testimony that you lasted 24 hours without taking a single breath and still functioned normally.
then i will believe you.

Interesting argument.
But simply because the body has material needs (and expires if those needs go unmet), that doesn't mean the spirit needs be subservient unto its brain-wrought commands.
