MINDFULNESS VIDEO SERIES (4): HOW TO ATTAIN GENUINE FREEDOM, PEACE, LOVE & HARMONY

Generally speaking, one can observe that most people are living their lives as if this is the only life they have. Most have adopted the worldview that we are material beings and pursue material things and experiences.

If I do exist beyond this current experience, this gives rise to many questions; Do I really want to spend all my time and energy to achieve things which I will not be able to take with me when this body ends? Does it make sense to place all of my focus on temporary and passing goals and experiences? If I do exist eternally, is there an eternal function and purpose that is different from what I am doing now? And if there is an eternal function for all living beings, is there something that we can do now to move towards being more in harmony with our eternal function?
For us to have more fulfillment and happiness in our lives, it is very important that we clearly understand our identity. This understanding can then serve as a foundation that we can stand on when we consider which goals will be worthy and beneficial to pursue.
