Ascetism of Mind

Nothing in the universe is more mysterious than the inner workings of the human mind. The attempt to understand consciousness is the ultimate imperative in philosophical thought and stems from the ancient Greek aphorism, "know thyself." A simple statement, it nevertheless has vast ramifications for how we understand not only ourselves, but also the people around us.

Ever wonder how some people seem to fulfill their every desire while others work hard, pay their dues and do right by others only to wind up with absolutely nothing? Or how about how some people invest all of their time and energy into something but can’t seem to catch a break while others who work half as much seem to “have it all”? If you’ve ever wanted to know how you can join the inner circle if people who live life on their terms in every aspect, then I suggest you drop whatever you’re doing right and put aside 5 minutes as this may be the most important letter you ever read.
