I sometimes participate in Quora, by answering questions. I like to be challenged, it is the spice of life, and I enjoy being forced to think, solve problems, get out of my little box.

I don"t enjoy reading the answers of others, though it gives me a cross section of what so called intellectuals think and teach and live... Sad story.

I thought you would enjoy reading my answer:

Mindfulness meditation is, in fact, an oxymoron of some kind. Meditation"s purpose is to lead you away from the mind. But the reason some people use this expression, because what they want to say "awareness meditation" and they don"t understand that awareness is not a mind-function, awareness is a consciousness function. Awareness is bigger than the mind, and it is also bigger than you.
