Here's an interesting question from a student: "When developing your concentration how much time did you spend daily working on it?" Concentration training requires the most effort in the very beginning. This is where your mind is the most restless and untamed. You...

The enslavement of your mind

In it's well known novel "Dune", Frank Herbert wrote: "Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them" Even though it was written in 1965, it couldn't be more...
