Life becomes an endless meditation when we make a conscious decision to live in the present. Every act becomes a reality. Most of us live our whole lives in either the past or in expectations. We become the puppets of automatic reactions created by past experience, and while we continue on hoping and dreaming of a better future, we often just end up in the same old muddle. The aim of this book is to help you learn how to acknowledge and change styles of reactive behaviour which are no longer useful to you. The hope of this book is to help you to live in the endless meditation of the present. This is the afterlife, so what are you waiting for?.
