This wiki is an attempt to shed light on the path. For my (mvmacke) path I'm using the Vipassana technique. I've followed Vipassana once in Pune, in the ashram of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (later known as Osho) when I was 19. When I was 63 I got introduced to Vipassana again by S.N. Goenka.

This wiki is my attempt to clarify. First of all, to myself. But maybe also others can benefit and contribute.

Conditions

There are important considerations that are almost a belief but are supposed to be rooted in my wisdom, they are supposed to be anchored in my experience:

things get better when I am calm
I am not my thoughts, nor my feelings
behavior that is necessary for my ego, is not beneficial for me nor my environment

Concepts

the Path

If I understand Goenka correctly, I need to:

train my consciousness by watching my breath
use my consciousness to become aware of my sensations
once aware of a sensation, I can train my equanimity by constantly not reacting to a sensation

This not-reacting to sensations, will liberate me from creating attachments. Attachments create new attachments.
