The Mystery of Enlightenment

Initially, enlightenment is living in the present moment and accepting your situation as it is. That is a pretty heavy task for anyone in any time. It is often said that an enlightened person cannot be angered by small talk or negative energy.

Many people are humble and believe that they will never be enlightened in this life. They also believe: The goal of enlightenment is too vast for the average person to achieve. However, should you just give up?

What can you do to attain enlightenment?

You should meditate daily: This will help you connect to the world around you. This is an awareness of plants, animals, people and many things around you that are often not appreciated or overlooked.

Meditation will enhance awareness of yourself, everything around you, and the connection between the two. This will bring out the ability to see reality as it is - with the ultimate goal of reaching a state of pure consciousness.

Understand the value of prayer, mantras, and singing. Even if you only practice in your mind, this will strengthen positive energy within you. Many people resort to theses practices; to gain comfort in times of need. This is a shame because you can gain the positive benefits of prayer, mantras, and singing, any time.

Remember, enlightenment is not a race: You would be shocked at the number of people who put pressure on themselves to be instantly enlightened.

It is good to have goals in life, so creating a log to track your progress is a beneficial practice. Your log may track your meditation sessions, your ability to deal with, or diffuse, negative situations, your ability to create positive energy and project it to others, and your ability to see reality.

If you continue the process of keeping and maintaining a log, your results will be encouraging. You may also want to join a group with compatible religious beliefs, search for a teacher, or share your practice with a friend on the same path.

Lastly, do not be frustrated by uncertainty and learn to accept what you cannot control. If all humans could maintain enlightenment, we would experience world peace. We could all accept each other, despite differences of culture, nationality, color, sex, religious beliefs, or any other thing humans can find to develop a pre-conceived notion about each other.

My first taste of Yoga was over 40 years ago, at the age of 7, in a martial arts school setting. I have continued to study martial arts until this day and I have four teaching certificates in four different martial arts. Now I teach both Martial Arts and Yoga. I began to seriously practice Yoga (under Laura Foster) over twenty years ago due to martial arts competition related injuries. Laura was a skilled & knowledgeable teacher of Restorative Hatha Yoga, Raja Yoga, and Laya Yoga. After training with her for 3 years, she certified me as a teacher in 1987.

I became certified as a Master Teacher (Guru) on September 15, 1995, after teaching over 5,000 hours under her wing. Shortly afterward, Laura retired at age 90. Since that time, I started organizing Yoga Teacher Training camps. As time went on, we began getting requests from everywhere in the U.S. and canada for a comprehensive Yoga Teacher Training correspondence course. http://www.yoga-teacher-training.org

The Xbox 360 3 Red Light Fix Can Be Done Yourself

Seeing 3 Red Lights on your Xbox 360 is like buying a car and having the wheels fall off. Microsoft is now receiving 1,500 to 2,500 broken 360s per day in UK alone. UK repair centers are now redistributing faulty consoles to foreign repair centers in order to clear an overwhelming backlog and keep up with the 1,500 to 2,500 Xbox 360s arriving at its doors on a daily basis, according to customer reports. The numbers are steadily rising like gas prices.

The main reason so many of these consoles are giving up the ghost is because of heat. The Xbox 360 mother board is similar to that of a regular Desktop PC with a powerful graphics chip. The only problem is that they can't dissipate the heat that the graphics chip is producing like a Desktop PC can.

Those after market Intercoolers can do more good than bad to your console. They have been reported to scorch the power AC input. Microsoft also stated that some intercoolers drains too much power from the console and can cause the errors to occur.

You should move your console if it sits inside of an entertainment center or is enclosed in a tight space. It has to be able pull in air and get rid of heat freely. Although this is not the cause of the 3 Xbox 360 red light error, it can't hurt to try.

Another problem the Xbox 360 has with heat is that it causes the motherboard to flex. When this happens it stresses the solder joints causing micro cracks. This results in poor connections to the tiny resistors under the graphics chip.

There are two clamps called X clamps that hold down the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit -aka- graphics chip) and the CPU (Central Processing Unit -aka- the brain). They don't do such a good job of holding the heat sinks that are suppose to cool these chips down.

These heat sinks get so hot that they melt the thermal compound between them and the two chips. This causes the two chips to com in direct contact with the heat sinks that get so hot that you can literally fry an egg on them.

If you don't feel comfortable opening your Xbox 360 console then you should send it back to Microsoft and let them fix it. Let me warn you that you will have to wait 4 to 6 weeks to get it back because you number 1 million and something in line. The Fix can be done yourself. With all those billions, why Microsoft designed the Xbox 360 the way they did is a mystery.
