I don't think EdM quite grasps the concepts of Buddhism and their quest for self-discovery, but hope they run themselves into Nirvana anyway. I find it fascinating.

They are learning to use the infinite power that resides in soul consciuosness, which is available to each of us. The more we are in touch with our soul, the Greater Peace and Joy we know. The more live force we are aware of, and can use at will. Meeting one or more of these monks would blow us away, we would be instantly swept away, our lives transformed dramaticly from that point on ! It is a testomony to who we are as souls. These Monks would have been Monks most likely since they were Five to Seven years old, so would have had many years of spiritual training before making a disission to do this, I would imagine. It is not a path for everyone, nor is it the only way to full spiritual enlightment. Thank you Steve for letting me know about this. It reminds me of a series of 6 or 7 books called "The Masters of the Far East". With a little reading about what some Enlighten Souls have done, one starts to realize this is something achivable for everyone...Though the main Goal is a level of understanding and compassion that melts peoples hearts. A level of Love that would bring tears to your eyes and shivers running through you. Ommm... Hi Steve,

Are you kidding? Decidedly not. Obsessive, delusional, harmful, wasteful and pointless? I think that’s closer to the mark.

“I feel kind of ashamed that I’m currently sidelined with a foot injury and haven’t been able to run for the last 10 days.”

Why?
