Now, I can happily do anything that is given to me. I live with true gratitude to life and enjoy my life the way it is. I know that everybody has their own stories but we all have the same goal, that is, to live happily forever, of course, as new life of the universe. The subtraction meditation is the best and easiest way of achieving it.

Practicing the method needed a tact like a kid trying to cycle for the first time. But slowly as I came to the end of level 1, the initial apprehension changed to a daily necessity. I felt light and free as if some load was being removed. An amateur cyclist started enjoying cycling without fumbling for pedals and searching for brakes at crucial moments.

Each level came with a new level of real understanding! I feel a contentment that has nothing to do with the situations going on external to me. A sense of ease, new found FAITH.

It is amazing that we go to the bathroom to eliminate waste in our body, brush our teeth (hopefully) a few times a day. Yet out body is rotting with us being guided by our ghost, our past habits, blaming everyone else for our mishaps. And worst of all being separate from our Superior being that fountain of everything and each other.

I started to wake up and stopped living in my own thoughts all of the time. My relationships improved. People asked me why I was smiling and I didn’t even realize that I was smiling. I began to work more effectively. I became able to accept others as they are and accept the world as it is without the judgment I used to impose on everything in my life. You can’t imagine how grateful I am to this meditation. Freedom from my own miserable thoughts has brought peace and wisdom into my life.

After just a few hours of meditation the life as I knew it began to transform. The world became crisper, more warm and vivid. I could not take my eyes of the clouds; it was as if I had never seen them before.
