I have set my intentions towards making a leap within my realm of existence, into a new dimension and so far, here's what I have discovered:
- Practicing vipassana meditation for at least 20-30 minutes a day has calibrated the sensory clarity that allows me to dial into the underlying factors (listed below) that preclude my ability to remain conscious at all times.
- fear
- ego
- jealousy
- pride
- ambition
- Flashes of insights tend to be accompanied by a state of heightened concentration and / or emotion.
- Cultivating non-dualistic perceptions, acquiesces infinite possibilities. This approach certainly hastens my ability to find evidence that every single situation I encounter is designed to provide an opportunity for me to heal and grow.
- The pathway of development is non-linear and I, personally, can't cause it or destroy it. At times I may have been more evolved than others and yet, consequently all growth was the consequence of organic unfolding.
- I am no longer invested in quantifying progress through the lens of a hard set of belief systems.
- This remarkable shift in the paradigm of perception- has allowed me to serve my mind, rather than being a servant of my mind.

Bob Dylan pretty much sums it up with this song:
"To Ramona"
Ramona, come closer,
Shut softly your watery eyes.
The pangs of your sadness
Shall pass as your senses will rise.
The flowers of the city
Though breathlike, get deathlike at times.
And there's no use in tryin'
T' deal with the dyin',
Though I cannot explain that in lines.
Your cracked country lips,
I still wish to kiss,
As to be under the strength of your skin.
Your magnetic movements
Still capture the minutes I'm in.
But it grieves my heart, love,
To see you tryin' to be a part of
A world that just don't exist.
It's all just a dream, babe,
A vacuum, a scheme, babe,
That sucks you into feelin' like this.
I can see that your head
Has been twisted and fed
By worthless foam from the mouth.
I can tell you are torn
Between stayin' and returnin'
On back to the South.
You've been fooled into thinking
That the finishin' end is at hand.
Yet there's no one to beat you,
No one t' defeat you,
'Cept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad.
I've heard you say many times
That you're better 'n no one
And no one is better 'n you.
If you really believe that,
You know you got
Nothing to win and nothing to lose.
From fixtures and forces and friends,
Your sorrow does stem,
That hype you and type you,
Making you feel
That you must be exactly like them.
I'd forever talk to you,
But soon my words,
They would turn into a meaningless ring.
For deep in my heart
I know there is no help I can bring.
Everything passes,
Everything changes,
Just do what you think you should do.
And someday maybe,
Who knows, baby,
I'll come and be cryin' to you.
