The Roving 'I'

The Roving ‘I’ is a collaboration of the four of us, three on this side of the words doing the writing,- Andrej Goosz, terminal optimist and holder of a totally useless PhD in the evolution of consciousness; ag, retired salesman with a wicked sense of humor and an active libido; and, David Silverman, nearly broke, pot smoking, out of work writer, with a wife who keeps reminding him of those facts. Then there’s you, on that side doing the reading. We assume you know who you are.

Ritual

“As you get up in the morning, before starting the day’s activities, sit down for a while quietly and in a relaxed mood. Then concentrate upon your true self as an instrument of the Divine. Or, as an active center of the dynamic world-spirit. Or, in case you have inwardly revolted against all religion and philosophy, you may concentrate upon yourself as a creative artist. You are an architect of new, higher values. Your life has been given to you - with all its impulses and urges, thoughts and emotions, talents and handicaps - as the raw material to be fashioned into a thing of beauty and joy, by whatever creative ability you can summon.”

- Dr. Haridas Chaudhuri
Philosophy of Meditation

First off, I find it interesting that your first posting is a quote from somebody else. However, I'll grant you, it is a good quote, especially the part about life being "a thing of beauty and joy." Isn't that the same thing you were complaining about when I said it?
