The "hole" that we sink into as we journey through life is the notion that happiness is promoted by acquiring much more than we require. The higher the tag price, the happier we are supposed to be. A shiny automobile, winning the lottery, a big house in the best location, fame, name it, everything has been tried. SPIRITUAL AWAKENING THROUGH MEDITATION A full understanding of how our mind works is instrumental in this endeavor. Everything around us - tangible and intangible - are all products of the mind and its processes. Human perception is limited, and what we sense in our surroundings are its mere products. It is an essential part of life that has already been forgotten by many of us. Most people have already lost the ability to simply sit and contemplate on their lives. They are too busy worrying about their finances, their work and even their future that they fail to realize the simple pleasures which make up their life. A Thing Called Faith Since the earlier days, it has been said that all of the achievements of men are in fact due to the power that we can achieve through our faith; and that such faith can definitely encompass any material concept we ever dip our fingers on. Basically, faith is what keeps a human being strong and glorious in the end. There is no one person on earth who is a depository of all knowledge after all. When that happens all that the entrepreneur has to do is provide directions based on lessons learned. To amass wealth, you have to be in the right business. But truly, what is right business and what is not? This principle drives people crazy. Therefore, as soon as you feel unhappy about yourself, you must immediately fight that vulnerability to be attracted to all of the negative energies around you. Such a state is very difficult to handle especially if you do not want to open your mind and heart to making your very own spiritual development.
