I've been expanding my mind for a little while now and I found the concept of a Kōan very enlightening. You can read more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C5%8Dan

As I understand it, a Kōan is a statement or question that doesn't necessarily have an answer or maybe the answer is totally subjective. In any case, the process of experiencing the question causes something interesting to happen to your mind if you're open to the experience.

Here are my Kōan:

Truth, when you find it, you don't need it.

If you listen too hard, you will miss what is said.

Do not learn this lesson for it cannot be unlearnt.

Do not seek. Let it seek you
