Gone Beyond
from Meditation and Beyond · host Elliott S. Dacher, M.D.
Send us Fan MailThe primary aim of meditation is to go beyond the narrow confines of our ordinary self and experience the immensity of life’s possibilities. We aim to free ourself from the tenacious grip of individualism and to awaken to our full humanity.Individualism, with its accompanying habitual and limiting patterns of perception, and perpetual mind traffice imprisons us in a narrow and contracted life. Our personal psychology, chained to the past traps us in tenacious conditioning, denying us access to our essential humanity and its full possibilities.We are born as humans, not as individuals.

We know there is more to life than what appears on the surface. We know this by heart.
