Teacher: “[[Meditation]] is always recommended, and it is [[ideal]] for both, [[physical]] and [[mental]] [[health]], as well as for establishing an increasingly deeper [[relationship]] with the [[Ta|Fragment of the Father within]]. Just a few minutes each day are enough. Besides this, [[thinking]] is another activity that may not fall under the same category of meditation, but it also assists in knowing [[the self]] better.
“How many these days dedicate at least a few minutes to just thinking? Many are fully [[entertained]] at all times while they are [[awake]]. At every moment, commuting to [[work]], during meals, taking a bath, many always find an excuse to do something else, [[listen]] to music, [[reading]] novels, watching TV, anything except thinking, in [[exploring]] what is in their [[minds]], or by considering the questions that are not easy to answer.
“Before the [[complexity]] of the [[modern]] world, [[human being]]s could find ample opportunities for [[introspection]] and [[reflection]]. Those times that today you would consider to be [[idle]], were used to think and this, many times, brought with it higher [[expressions]] in art or even the [[spontaneous]] [[growth]] of [[spirituality]].
“How can we not have a spiritual [[crisis]] in a world were electronic gadgets claim for our [[attention]] at every moment? For some instants on every day, turn off the TV, turn off the radio, ignore the news in the paper, and just look around and notice where you are. Have you forgotten the [[wonder]] of being alive? All these [[distractions]] will not be real in [[eternity]], and most of the time you spend texting, checking emails, watching TV, will be a lost time you will not remember in the [[Mansion Worlds|next worlds]], but those times will have robbed you of [[opportunities]] to grow spiritually and to really live a more [[satisfying]] life.”
