Thanks for clearing that up! That is what I meant. Non-Attachment.

Exactly detachment. That is exactly what we need to achieve. So, living in the Now.

I want to improve myself in this life (In The Now) and then improve and definitely get closer to enlightenment.

I like this suggest. You going to kill your energy, you going to have to do sleep more,eat more and be slower then a person who is skinny. I suggest working out in a natural way. Chin-Ups, Sit-Ups and so on.

I wonder if you could develop your Chi so strong that you will only have to eat once a day?

This was awesome.

I mean living without time and just living. Actually you would be surprised. Many people live in the present or the future. Some go back into reminiscing mode and some plan ahead of the future.

That is exactly how I am doing it. Attract nothing and you will attract all! That makes perfect sense and it seems to be working too. Thank you!

Right now I am focusing on just meditation and that is really all. Well, I am also focusing on living in now as well and when I do something I want to put 110% into it. THank you for all of those recommendation. You are great!:0

Wow, this is greaking great! What does he practice?

How does one connect on a spiritual level with themselves? Personally, I believe Meditation is one way to achieve this. All of us go through life struggling to find ourselves. We always ignore the power our minds and bodies possess. We take advantage of them by: smoking, drinking, partying, eating junk food, drinking soda, using drugs and other unnecessary things. Why do we think in the long run, our bodies and minds will take care of us, if we are not taking care of them right now? A body is like a flower, if not nurtured in particular way, will continue to die. Our bodies are such works of Art; it is amazing when people ignore their own. Taking the bodies for granted is like taking love for granted. If you continue doing so, consequences will arise. Mind is like a caterpillar, if not guided by nature it will cease to exist; nor will it become a butterfly. The mind is an array of spider webs all connected to one another. The mind and body are closely interconnected; some even wonder if mind and body are the same. I can see both sides of the spectrum, but I would say they could be both. They can interconnect and separate anytime they desire. It is like energy connecting with a human being who is born and then continues flowing like rhythm, when human passes on. It is also important to understand that if you ignore yourself, by not developing oneself through meditation, reading, running and other activities the mind cannot exist. The only reason you are here is because your higher self created the reality that you live in now. You chose to be here and continue wanting to stay here.

Thanks man! Yea, I believe I am a Taoist too. I do not recognize myself as a religious person, even though I was born into Judaism. I am thinking reading into Zen? Any suggestions?

Great post! Something to think about.

What is a good breakfast for a TaoBum? I am having trouble picking what to eat for breakfast. Also if you have suggestions for food in general, it would be great. I am semi-vegetarian. Thank you all!

I agree! I should write it. As I am a writer:) hehe Good point about being present with your food. I definitely wake up and just eat my food, no more tv, I tossed it out a long time ago. Reading a book is great sometimes, but most of the time just your mindfulness and your food is great.

Thank you so much! It is much appreciated.
