• 0:00
  Speaker: Good morning, good morning, good morning to all of us.
• 0:04
  Speaker: We're here, we've made it, we're alive.
• 0:09
  Speaker: Another day, another journey, another passage through time.
• 0:14
  Speaker: How lucky we are to be here in the first place.
• 0:17
  Speaker: We each have our problems, our obstacles, altercations, as well as we have joy, appreciation, gratitude, successes.
• 0:30
  Speaker: We need to balance them as best we can.
• 0:35
  Speaker: Understanding we do have a role to play in the way our future is progressing before us.
• 0:43
  Speaker: It is us that are moving.
• 0:45
  Speaker: We are in motion.
• 0:47
  Speaker: How are we choosing to move, to be, or not to be?
• 0:53
  Speaker: This is the question.
• 0:56
  Speaker: In what direction does one proceed?
• 1:00
  Speaker: Do we listen and be more receptive to our better senses, of our evolutionary history, of being virtuous, having a greater and wider perspective, one filled with more understanding and kindness, compassion, empathy.
• 1:20
  Speaker: What are our choices we are making?
• 1:23
  Speaker: Mindful meditation is this pursuit.
• 1:27
  Speaker: It is not just a practice of focusing and concentration, it is a "practice living life." This is where we are.
• 1:40
  Speaker: This is having a self-realization, being what we actually are, this body we possess, this physicality in a sense we share, finding one's foundation, finding a sense of being a witness to physical reality, harnessing one's senses, catapulting oneself into a greater realm of perspective, sensitivity, gathering our capabilities, our forces, so to speak, to help us prosper on our day's journey, our moment's direction.
• 2:39
  Speaker: The ship of life is in some way oscillating, even when it is apparently not, when it is in an eddy, seemingly moving nowhere.
• 2:56
  Speaker: There is still an oscillation.
• 2:59
  Speaker: Maybe we can call this doubt or confusion or necessary analysis, better understanding.
• 3:10
  Speaker: How are we perceiving what we're doing?
• 3:15
  Speaker: Leading toward either negative or positive decisions.
• 3:24
  Speaker: Remembering our hands, our bodies, our spirits, our helping guide us, or not, perhaps relinquishing in essence with a sense of naivete or ignorance, leaving our direction to fate, or the direction of others, or a compromise.
• 3:55
  Speaker: Being part of our human race, Homo sapiens.
• 4:01
  Speaker: We have responsibilities, social responsibilities, stewardships to consider.
• 4:07
  Speaker: Knowing we are bundles of miracles is a beginning.
• 4:16
  Speaker: Having this realization is also a beginning of having a sense of humility as our mind's eye broadens from atop the pyramid of life.
• 4:35
  Speaker: You see the picture of the pyramid on dollars or as an Egyptian hieroglyphics.
• 4:42
  Speaker: The eye is all seeing because of its height, because it has increased its sense of visibility.
• 4:53
  Speaker: This is meditation's goal.
• 4:56
  Speaker: Having this sense of humility rising into awe.
• 5:03
  Speaker: One begins to initiate instantaneously in meditation, one's bodily awareness to form one's foundation, to help one catapult oneself into a wider perspective, beginning where?
• 5:25
  Speaker: Again, in our breathing, in our breath, in our pulse, in our heart squeezing, in our warmth, emanating, the vibration underlying these three.
• 5:43
  Speaker: Our life itself, shimmering, ecstatically, focusing, concentrating, feeling the ecstasy of one's being alive.
• 5:58
  Speaker: We are here now, present, not in the past nor future, present, evaluating, witnessing objectively our place, roles in the universe.
• 6:19
  Speaker: It is what we are doing in every moment of time.
• 6:22
  Speaker: No matter how great one or how narrow one is thinking, it is still descriptive of oneself.
• 6:31
  Speaker: Seeking with a sense of kindness more, understanding, compassion, empathy, because we are humankind.
• 6:42
  Speaker: We are imperfect by nature.
• 6:46
  Speaker: We have been going through evolution for millions of years.
• 6:54
  Speaker: Look how much has been in a sense manipulated, created, invented, experienced, come to know more about in the last few thousand years.
• 7:11
  Speaker: Not a lot of time.
• 7:14
  Speaker: This is man's potential, capability to do all these things which we can see have been done.
• 7:28
  Speaker: In many ways, it seems endless to the possibilities of mankind.
• 7:38
  Speaker: For we at least have a conception of, even if it's one hundred thousandth of what is, it is still something we share.
• 7:51
  Speaker: There is an energy source seeking to know more, to experience more, to share.
• 8:01
  Speaker: It is us, each, all, in some way or form.
• 8:07
  Speaker: Bundles of miracles, humbled in awe, thankful.
• 8:16
  Speaker: The music is going to continue for another minute.
• 8:20
  Speaker: Enjoy your day.
• 8:23
  Speaker: Play, play, play.
• 8:25
  Speaker: Life is to be enjoyed.
• 8:28
  Speaker: Whistle while you work, whistle while you work, whistle while you work. namaste
