Hi everyone,
Just a short introduction to soort of break the ice.
I'm just a simple guy living in Holland Europe. Learned meditation some 15 years ago and never stopped. In the beginning I used it to try to escape the fear I had for fear, all sorts like fear of falling fear of not being liked. Just about everything. During this time I had the dark night of the soul then Around 5 years ago I started feeling beter and increased meditation for a hour a day. What meditation has done for me is I started living in love and fear went away leaving me to see the devine being that I am. We are all the same we just dont see it with the hustle and bussel of our lives.

davidbhayes — 13 years ago — permalinkHi Joe, thanks for introducing yourself. I really couldn't agree more with your statement "We are all the same we just dont see it with the hustle and bussel of our lives." So true.
To tell you a bit about me, I'm a cofounder here at Medivate, and a web developer in my work life. I live in Colorado, which is essentially right in the middle of the United States. I've only been meditating a few years — I guess about three now, time flies — but I really value the extent to which it helps me stay aware and "awake" in my day to day life.
For probably more than a decade I had some vague sense of the basic truth you outline — that we're all just the same — and wished I lived in a way that better fit that model of love and how I wanted to interact with people and be interacted with. It took me a while to come around to it, but meditation is the best (and maybe) only tool I know that's made it easier for me to be present, attentive, skillful, and kind in my daily life.▲

I would like to thank you for allowing me to use this program and also giving people around the world a motivating meditation software. I ask myself what kind of world this would be if we were all to meditate! If we could all stop medicating ourselfs everytime we feel bad and start meditating. Our bodys know what we need if we only stop and listen.
Thanks again keep up the good work for humanity changing the world starts right here by ourselfs.We cant change the world but we can change ourselfs.
