S2 E11 - The Episode w/ No Name - Pt 2

"Anyway, so this understanding that Samadhi is we cease doing things. It's the cessation of the actions. Yes. And it becomes the implementation of the being. And so then if you are being right now, existing presently and mindfully, that's the point. The result of that is that you will likely meditate and you will likely fast, and you will likely do those things, but those things are not to keep your ego under control. It's to exist and to remember to be present and mindful about your life right now. I was telling my wife last night, we were talking about some of this, and I said this understanding of ordered steps and these things that we need to learn because our soul has set those steps before us. I don't remember the last time I had anxiety or depression, because I'm at the point now to where and not that I've made it, I've not ascended, right? But I'm at the point now to where 90% of the time I can walk down the road of my life. And when things are blowing up, I'm still like, you know what? This, I'm just going to be present and mindful, because if I'm mindful, then I'm understanding that that triggered me for some reason. I'm mindful as to why, and then I don't react to that. I allow that to go, then my ego doesn't take place. "
