Path to freedom: meditation and mindfulness

The first sign on the path to tue freedom is to find that our being forms subconscious consequential patterns of phenomena, and different dimensions of our being (e.g. emotions, sensor input, thoughts, and our divine self) affect this reality. This effectively affects our thoughts, feelings, and decisions. (Some Buddhist texts call these formations of the mind, and assert that there is no self; the formations only create an illusion of one; this way, these teachings make a strong stand towards a new understanding: the target is to find the divine self, but the path must be walked to fully understand what it is.)

To walk the way, we should learn and exercise meditation. Having learned to quiet ourselves, we will be able to acknowledge when a feeling, thought, etc rises in us, what happens when it is in effect, and how it goes away. This way, we can investigate these things concentrating on only one of them at a time, and apply the findings to our daily life with mindfulness. In the end, we will experience more freedom, understanding, and growth as a human being, finally connecting our being to our divine self.

The internet is full of material on meditation and mindfulness; I have myself linked a good book earlier. It is also possible to start learning with only basic information on vipassana meditation and mindfulness that is available via a google search.
