Mindfulness is a rare quality in our world today. There is little need for Mindfulness within the halls of the great and mighty institutions of society. There is little time for Mindfulness within individuals due to the demands of the rat-race, the allure of consumerism, and the overload of electronic stimuli. And there is outright disdain for Mindfulness from the ruling class sitting atop the collectivist pyramid.
Yet Providence smiles favorably upon the Mindful.
Mindfulness is neither flashy nor fashionable and its power is not of worldly nature. Mindfulness does not presume superiority and it does not seek recognition. Mindfulness seeks only harmony – harmony of body, mind, and spirit.
Mindfulness is careful, but not timid. Mindfulness is confident, but not arrogant; strong, but not domineering.
The one who is Mindful understands the power of consent and thus does not consent to anything which disrupts the harmony of Mindfulness. The power of consent is derived from the fact that one’s reality is ultimately a construct of one’s choices. The Mindful one recognizes he has dominion over his thoughts, emotions, and actions. Reality is merely an intersection of the three.
Because s/he is aware of the power of consent, the one who is Mindful chooses everything; he is not swayed by external forces. The one who is Mindful takes great measures to avoid all manner of toxins that would serve to disrupt his harmony. He avoids toxic food, toxic drugs, toxic thoughts, toxic words, toxic schools, toxic music, toxic television programming, toxic news, toxic people, and toxic government.
The one who is Mindful embraces self-education, self-employment, self-reliance, and self-governance and he rejects those who would seek authority over him. The Mindful one recognizes the hubris and the ignorance of those who claim worldly authority over others. S/he knows what they do not – that this life is not a trivial event in search of fame, fortune, and power. Nay, this life is an interconnected part of the very fabric of the Universe through which the individual spirit has the opportunity to grow in transcendent knowledge and wisdom. It is an opportunity to observe a very small section of Space-time within this massive Universe.
Those who seek power and dominion over Mindfulness are the same ones who seek power and dominion over the human spirit. They claim authority over the Mindful one and seek to govern every aspect of his life. They ultimately seek to convert the Mindful one’s infinite potential into blind servitude.
Look back through history and you can see that they who seek power over humanity have been at it for a very long time. The dominion-seekers are responsible for all of the wars that have raged since the dawn of human civilization, for the institution of overt slavery that existed for most of human history, and for the modern institution of covert slavery that is perpetuated by central banking and fiat currency. It is they who murdered the most enlightened of the Mindful throughout history, from Socrates to Gandhi, and even the one called Christ. The power seekers revel in fear and servitude and they hate individuals who practice the art of Mindfulness.
Despite this Mindfulness remains calm and centered. Mindfulness understands that worldly power is irrelevant in the bigger scheme of the eternal Cosmos. Mindfulness recognizes that the external worldly battle is but a reflection of the battle that rages within each sovereign individual. It is the inner battle that matters, for the external battle will fade from existence once the inner battle is won. Mindfulness quietly focuses on winning this inner battle without any need of praise or recognition.
To the worldly onlooker Mindfulness appears weak, callous, and cold. Mindfulness offers no refute or explanation to these charges, but the Mindful one is fully aware of the strength that flows within and the flame of love that burns at the core. The Mindful one understands that the same flame burning eternally within him also burns eternally in others. Mindfulness knows that all of life is interconnected; that each individual is nothing less than an eternal spirit of humanity manifesting in a gloriously unique way.

The Mindful one recognizes there is no ‘left’ or ‘right’; there is only Liberty or Tyranny.
Liberty leaves the individual free to wander in whatever direction calls out to his spirit. Liberty recognizes the individual’s right to discover and cultivate his passion, whatever that may be. Liberty respects the sacredness of human life and presumes no superiority over the human spirit. And Liberty leaves the individual free to discover his destiny and ascend to a higher state of being.
Tyranny sets forth to funnel the individual into worldly systems of enslavement and to regulate all manner of individual activity. Tyranny sees the individual and presumes to know what’s best for him. Tyranny looks upon the infinite human spirit with disdain and seeks to cage and dominate it. Tyranny attempts to inundate and distract individuals with all manner of worldly fear, power, and entertainment so as to disconnect the individual from the spirit. Tyranny places all individuals into collective groups, labels them accordingly, and then proclaims that individuals are meaningless outside of the collective. Individuals who fall for this deceit then see themselves as part of a group and they see other groups as their enemy.
Mindfulness cuts through Tyranny like a fiery blade and the Mindful one sees right through these distractions and deceits. Mindfulness knows that Liberty is required for harmonious individual interaction. Mindfulness maintains amor fati - a respect for Fate.
This is why Tyranny holds an eternal hatred for Mindfulness: it cannot exist where Mindfulness is present. Tyranny understands it actually has no power; it must be chosen by individuals. Thus Tyranny must convince individuals of its ability to deliver a better future. History shows that Tyranny is fairly adept at selling this illusion, at least until Mindfulness rises in opposition. History also shows that Tyranny is never capable of delivering the better future as promised. Instead, Tyranny always disrupts the lives and plans of individuals, families, and friends – always for its own benefit and not theirs. Tyranny disrupted or ended the lives and plans of billions of individuals in the twentieth century alone.
Tyranny, for the life of itself, cannot understand the Mindful one. Despite being in touch with their tremendous individual power, the Mindful ones do not use this power against others. Nor is the Mindful one ever interested in negotiating with Tyranny; s/he simply refuses to stray from her/his chosen path. Tyranny is befuddled when the Mindful one refuses all manner of bribes, deals, and kickbacks. Tyranny is frustrated when the Mindful one is not deterred by slander and ridicule and it is enraged when the Mindful one does not respond to intimidation and threats of force. Through it all the Mindful one stands tall, confident in the validity of his/her principles. Tyranny has learned there is very little it can do to deter the Mindful one other than kill him. But the eternal spirit of Mindfulness can never die.
Tyranny comes in different sizes, shapes, and colors and these different forms often compete with one another in the political arena. Politics is simply the art of Tyranny, and a clever one at that. Many an individual has strayed from the Mindful path for the allure of politics; often with good intentions.
Mindfulness understands, however, there are no political solutions to political problems. Political solutions always begin with “we must” or “you must” but this is a dead-end road. “We must” and “you must” are unsustainable because they are not grounded in Mindfulness; they are grounded instead in some combination of self-interest, short-sightedness, ignorance, fear, and/or exploitation. All true solutions must stem from “I must” first. That solution is then amplified if multiple “I musts” come together in harmony. But the inspiration has to come from within first – from the “I must”.

Applying Mindfulness
The Majesty of Mindfulness is the solution to the major problems of our time. Mindfulness is simply a choice and anyone can choose to put it on their mantle. Mindfulness cannot be forced upon others, however, as free will is a vital part of the Universal code. Thus, Mindfulness is latent within each individual seeking to unlock its power for them.
The first step to awakening the Mindfulness within is an honest assessment of the System. We are told at a very early age that the key to success in this life is to master the System’s power game. We are herded into schools to pledge allegiance to the System and learn how to play by its rules. We mindlessly rush off to college to further our education on how to succeed inside the System. Then we pursue jobs in corporate America or maybe even an MBA from a public university. The MBA, we are told, is the key to unlocking and gaining entry to the higher tiers of the System. Similarly, each corporate job is a platform to prove our ability to operate within the System so we can get raises, bonuses, and then move up to the next rank within the System. And there is always a higher rank in the System.
This is not the Mindful path.
There is nothing inherently wrong with pursuing this path within the System, but it is much more likely to lead to stress, confusion, short-sightedness, small-mindedness, physical exhaustion, mental atrophy, family problems, and depression than it is to enlightenment. Now there are certainly those who have achieved self-defined success and happiness from within the System. There are plenty of people who have used the System to provide a quality life for themselves and their families. But past experiences are not indicative of future results and the System is becoming more and more fragile, and suffocating, by the day.
The System was easy to support in its adolescence as there was ample room for growth to mask the ill-effects of exponentially expanding credit-based money. The hockey-stick graph of credit expansion has now eclipsed the rate of economic growth, however, and the System is teetering as a result. The owners of the System must now resort to iron-fisted measures to keep it from tipping. If you follow the System’s predefined path, your every move will be subject to restrictions, licenses, regulations, taxes, and prohibitions. This is not a formula for success and it is certainly no way for a sovereign individual to live.
An honest assessment of the System will likely lead you to conclude that you would be better served by exiting it, but you will probably be unable to immediately make your get away. Unless you have a tremendous amount of resources at your disposal, you will have to distance yourself from the System one step at a time. This is not easy for someone who has spent their entire life doing the ‘right’ things – getting an education, working hard, and saving some money for retirement. It is very difficult to accept the fact that the System has been structured to plunder the honest people who follow the predefined path and it is normal for this realization to lead to depression or anger, or both.
But Mindfulness cannot coexist with depression or anger. The next step to awakening Mindfulness is to learn to be calm and accept the worldly injustices for what they are – an opportunity for growth. Liberty and Tyranny swing on a pendulum. As do Justice and Injustice. One or the other is inescapably present at all times in all places. There is a fundamental balance that seems to exist in the Universe which suggests that opposite and contrary forces are always interconnected. In order to know one you must also know the other. This is expressed as the yin and yang principle in Eastern philosophy.
The System currently represents Tyranny and Injustice but it is becoming extremely fragile and one day the pendulum will swing back towards Liberty. And later the pendulum will reverse course once again. There is nothing we can do to change this process at the macro level. All we can do is learn how to move away from the System and become a positive force in our local reality - our families, friends, and communities.
The Mindful one does not seek to change the world; he seeks to change himself. The end goal is admirable, but it is the journey that is most important. The obstacle is the path.
Opportunities for earning income outside of the corporate cubicle arise as Mindfulness grows. This income is still subject to the regulations and taxes of the System, but some of it can be legally sheltered before the System gets to it. One must develop these meaningful sources of income in order to move away from the System. Yes this means paying taxes that the System will use against you. Yes this means accepting dishonest fiat currency that is used to transfer wealth from the outsiders to the owners of the System. But what other options are there currently? It is difficult to grow in Mindfulness if one’s life is a constant struggle just for sustenance.
As your non-wage income grows you will need Mindful strategies for protecting and investing your money. The System suggests you trust government approved retirement plans and government licensed Wall Street brokers to handle your asset management needs. Those moving away from the System prefer some combination of a more diversified approach: gold in the basement to hedge against currency collapse, specially structured high-cash value life insurance to hedge against future bail-ins and wealth taxes, domestic real estate, farm land and other locally-controlled hard assets that cannot be inflated away, offshore real estate to hedge against domestic political risk, a bitcoin wallet or two in case crypto currencies have a role within the next monetary system, and/or a contrarian approach to the stock market with the assistance of real (non-licensed, non-commissioned) investment analysis. And of course it is prudent to keep a little cash on the sidelines for the times when assets are dramatically oversold due to herd-mentality investors rushing for the exits.
Mindful investments are not based on greed or on the hopes of future luxury; they are made to sustain individual freedom. Mindful investing is not about making money; it is about converting money into income streams and hard assets so as to be free from the need to work as a wage slave for basic necessities. The specifics differ with each individual but the idea is the same: to blend Mindfulness with practical self-reliance so as to strengthen the synergy between mind, body, and spirit. This approach enables you to get rid of ‘life pockets’ and adopt a more holistic approach to living – instead of having a ‘work life’, ‘social life’, and ‘family life’ you just have ‘life’.
The Mindful path is steep and rugged with lots of twists, turns, and forks. Rumor has it the path also has no defined end. But those who choose to walk the Mindful path find that their problems seem to fade from relevance with each additional step taken. So they trod on, confident in the validity of their journey and respectful of the eccentricity of the Universal code.
Where does the Mindful path lead? Who knows…? Such is the Majesty of Mindfulness.

Very good stuff. Thanks guys.
Totally agree. Mindfulness combined with equanimity empowers one and all. The equanimity part is just as essential to the process as mindfulness. What I mean by equanimity is to be mindful of everything at once. This perspective eliminates the dualistic nature of the false identity. When one has trained one's mind to be aware of all at once, there is no longer the sense of "me" and everything else. These two aspects of consciousness can dissolve the programming of our egoic mind. Practice and abiding for some time in mindfulness and equanimity will reveal to the practicioner the nature of "mind", fear, and indeed death in a very real, experiential way. Once one has tasted this freedom, one knows ( not conceptualizes, rationalizes or conjectures) it for what it is. Truth! With that wisdom, everything else in the world is seen as a natural and reasonable consequence of our collective actions. Not right or wrong, just where we are.
Now, as everyone who has attempted this practice of mindfulness and equanimity knows, the devil is in the details! The nature of this consciousness is the death knoll for ego. Ego will fight cunningly, viciously and without tire for its life. It can be the hardest thing one ever attempts! This is why so few (myself included) have the wherewithal to sustain a reasonable practice ( 2-3 hrs per 24 hrs.). [ Herein, lies the value of retreat, especially under the guidance of an accomplished practicioner.] The vitriol one can incur from others when relating this information is also the ego fighting to retain its grip on consciousness. The astronomical growth of technological distractions is another manifestation of ego's battle for unawareness.
What relatively few want to realise or acknowledge is that WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING! Blaming others, systems, God, et al is fruitless. We can tear it all down, and we have thoughout history, but the villains keep re-appearing. Why? In the opinion of many lucid persons, this practice of mindfulness is the only way thru this messy reality. The nature of the interconnected universal consciousness implies that what consciousness one abides in, at any given moment, has an effect on all. And, as all of history's prophets have stated, truth (love) is much more attractive than anything else. Consequently, the power of mindfulness and equanimity is enormous. It will not take a majority of people abiding in this level of consciousness to shift the collective, but there probably is a critical mass that humankind has yet to reach. Hopefully, we get there before too many more have to suffer!
Technology also allows humanity to live well beyond its means. This is a dangerous thing because of the slow nature of ecological evolution. For example, should the Habor Bosch process slow or stop for any reason, it becomes pretty hard to feed 7+ billion people overnight (not that we are doing such a great job now).
You're correct. Technology can develop tools to facilitate human life and should be embraced. But what makes the news and most money? The latest, greatest device that allows for ease of mental distraction. If you have training in mindfulness, play with one of those devices and watch to where your awareness gravitates. Most everyone loses themselves into a completely myopic consciousness, with no awareness of anything else. They become completely identified with playing with the device.
I should point out that although the Habor Bosch process is man-made and requires a tremendous amount of energy. The natural process for nitrogen fixation (required for all plant life) is only catalyzed by bacteria that live in some unique ecological environments. The are some symbiotic plants, but the majority of natural nitrogen fixation does not occur there and these environments are sensitive to say the least because the natural process is also energy intensive (something about breaking a stable triple bond and thermodynamics being a bitch).
They will pay attention when there isn't any food available. I'd argue that quality food is becoming harder to access for most already.
So Habor Bosch is just being aware of how nature works best. Ah awareness....
It will not take a majority of people abiding in this level of consciousness to shift the collective, but there probably is a critical mass that humankind has yet to reach. Hopefully, we get there before too many more have to suffer!
Do you think we are moving towards this critical mass currently?
"Do you think we are moving towards this critical mass currently?" -- Not at all. In the current mob rule I see a clear explanation of the following;
“In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.” - Friedrich NietzscheNietzsche mis-interpreted that observation, IMO. The insanity is in the individual. Usually, the "courage" to act out the insanity is what is augmented in crowds or the justification of the insanity thru mutual re-inforcement amongst the crowd.
Bullshit. You can be the first that stands in front of the lynch-mob then.
the sane one would be the first to say "this is wrong", but also the first to be beaten up or killed... FAIL.
All humanity has accomplished is to go from an era of physical might (bullying) makes right to intellectual/technological might(bullying) makes right. When the later fails we resort to the former immediately.
If the components of the crowd do not possess insanity, how can the collective manifest what no one has. Anything times nothing is nothing.
Nietsche's statement implies this incongruity. I'm not saying everyone is insane, I'm saying there is insanity in most all of us.
no way, i see sheep drawing ever so many more sheep. did you see the voice last night, fucken eh, how the hell do you answer that retarded question? i will take care of my house, but i see many houses in shambles, and more shambling towards a detroit shamble. be mindfull of your surroundings...
we are all of the same flock.
I don't know. I do feel that the overall energy/vibration of our existence is pushing us, ever faster, to "shit or get off the pot", if you will. The time to somewhat gracefully transition may be running short.
Oh hell yes and picking up steam.
Good article Joe, and thanks Cog for hosting him. You really hit home on the growing importance of mindfulness. I teach spin and yoga at the local gym and liberal arts university and am working on a book about a technique for developing mindfulness through the practice of yoga and meditation.
Sadly, we are seeing the clear evidence that humanity in general is not yet ready for mindfulness and meaningful introspection. I fully expect that after the coming catharsis of humanity, then the interest in introspection and clarity of mind will become much more evident.
A note here for the "prepper" community: Practicing mindfulness is one of the most important elements in successfully coping with the insanity of the 21st century. Coping is what everyone is wrestling with today and most are losing badly. The practice of mindfulness will make evident the the dishonest and craven among us. I can't stess enough the importance of meditation in the development of mindfulness and yoga is far and away the best tool to practice it. Also, yoga has the benefit of helping all practitioners to maintain a high level of health and fitness. One thing is certain. If I had to go to the island and could only take one exercise with me, it would be yoga hands down.
Those of you that are "serious" about moving gracefully into the future, consider meditation, mindfulness, and yoga.
Pranayamas,

Thank you for the great comment. The only way to remain sane among the insanity is to practice mindfulness on a daily basis. Otherwise we tend to be sucked back in head first.
And if you need an editor for your book please consider my services. Joe Withrow and his book are my references. ;-)
Hey Cog, thanks for your offer. I will put you in my notes for editing...
The best thing about mindfulness is that in the process of practicing mindfulness and steering oneself toward clarity, one shuns lies and deceit. When one stops telling lies, it's like a veil has been lifted. Now, when somebody lies to me, it's like being splashed with cold water. I can't remember the last time I missed a lie.

In the west, we equate yoga with a few certain types of practice ( Hatha, Vinyassa, Vishtanga, and the various others which require mats and outfits). But yoga means something like " to practice". My understanding is that the physical yogas as well as martial arts (partially) were developed in order to prepare younger disciples for the more difficult (for the mind) yoga of contemplation. As students grew older, they were introduced to the more esoteric yogas.
patanjali defined yoga in the first sutra.

Yogash chitta vritti nirodhah.

Yoga is the mastery of the activities of the mind-field.((mind vibration (noted) and ceased))
Then the seer rests in its true nature.

that is yoga.
.
so yoga is the union of the self/Self.
the practice is also referred to as yoga
or yoga practice.
yoga = of yoga, union; literally, to yoke, from the root yuj, which means to
join or to integrate; same as the absorption in samadhi ........
excellent
yes, excellent, and likely several
thousands of years old, it is amazing.
the physical component and correlation to
the neurological and mental vibration; action
and attention comprising the discipline and correction.
then you arrive at the truth. you may
or may not be happy but you will be
satisfied, then you must choose.
when the process is complete there
is only one choice and it is up to
you to either choose or refuse,
refuse to remain in the ecstatic Self
and return to the spider matrix of man
or hyper-hibernate in a greater energetic
anomaly.
i get it, that this sounds crazy, but check this ....

Hey all you guys, it's good to see interesting chatter about mindfulness and yoga among the usually raucous ZH crowd. You are absolutely right about being respectful to elder martial artists. My master is in his seventies and while I am pretty strong, he could easily make me submit.
Things to think about:
In martial arts, there are no wasted moves. i.e. economy of motion
In tai chi, repetition brings deep understanding.
In yoga, long muscles, supple joints, deep breath.
In meditation, movement into stillness
We train,
We meditate,
We wait for combat.
Respect them, because their training makes them more difficult to overcome, and at the same time makes them more peaceful.
In the world of Aikido, you stay away from the old Aikidokas, because they'll whip your a&&!
Old does not equal decrepit in the martial arts world or the world of yoga.
Just the opposite...
DaddyO
No, that wasn't my point. A youthful mind needs to be trained to focus, but because of energy, hormones, etc. it is more prone to restlessness. That was a main purpose of the physical yoga. Recognizing that sitting still was usually extremely difficult for young disciples, they incorporated an effective means to begin teaching mindfulness thru exercise. But, eventually disciples were taught contemplative skills not involving postures or movements of the physical nature.
Please let me know when your book is complete, I would love to read it: joegalt@zenconomics.com
Thanks Joe,
I'm synthesizing elements of Martial Arts, Tai Chi, and Yoga into a new practice focused on mindfulness and spiritual calm. I'm also arranging an informal "proof of concept" study at the local high security prison to test whether my methods have efficacy on inmates. Additionally, I am examining the application of this methodology to sufferers of PTSD.
I will probably post portions online as a teaser and will produce a substantive abstract.
I will put you on the list for announcement of publication.
;-D
of course less than 1 percent will be mindfull. just the way distributions of truth/reality/w realism vs wishfull think crap(connecting dots) and cause/effect work with empirical evidence tangible...thanks, time to practice and not preach...
Thank you for the post CD and Joegalt, a great read to end my day.
Thank you for taking the time to read it - glad you enjoyed it.
"You have taken in much old man, like the waters of the Tao..."
"Where does the Mindful path lead? Who knows…? Such is the Majesty of Mindfulness."
That is of course, open to debate but the 'gestalt' as it were, of this article is well taken, albeit rather lengthly as it was.
What an incredible article,well done Sir ! One of ZH's best !!!
Thanks very much for such kind words.
Is it mindful to blither on at such excessive length?
You Sir, are a dumbass, and I am mindful of that...
Being scornful of those who aren't ready to grok this, does nothing beneficial for you. It would be better to investigate "who" wants to scorn.
Grok this Juan Grande:You are a dumbass too.To grok something you have to read it first,..
BTW, reading about this only makes you a spectator, not a player.
You are right! "I" am a dumbass. Getting that is the 1st step.
Hulk's commment elicited a chuckle, but you are entirely correct, juan. Internalizing I am a dumbass is key to the whole damn thing! That said, It ain't what you don't know that'll get ya', It's what you 'know-for-sure' that just isn't true, -Mark Twain
CD was kind enough to have me back for another essay so I will plan to hang around today for any discussion, feedback, questions, or vitriol you would like to throw my way. All of the above are welcomed!
Joe, I believe you and Sam Harris are channeling each other:

Keep it up.
It's going to take me a second reading to absorb the sentiments expressed. That will give the usual crowd shouting for a "condensed version in two sentences" a chance to chime in. Sigh.... Needless to say, those will be the ones upon whom the entire piece is lost -- assuming they even read the entire thing. Thanks a heart-full for the chance to relax and read something that eases my inner turmoil.

Fukushima: Tsunami from typhoon may hit nuclear plant, cause possible radioactive cesium release
http://wtfrly.com/2014/10/05/fukushima-tsunami-may-hit-nuclear-plant-cau...
Tepco said a tsunami of that size occurs once every 10,000 to 100,000 years.
Nothing imminent. Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes BTW... ;)
