''Everything that you've ever known about your life has been known through the agency of your mind. So this is the same for all of us. This is not just some unique quirk. Whether you have any religious belief or not, whether you're a scientist or a psychologist or have no particular orientation whatsoever, the fact is that anything that any of us have known about our lives has happened through the agency of the mind, and those aspects of mind; sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, memory, thought, feeling, emotion, mood ... whatever it might be, every single one of those patterns comes into being, forms its shape and then dissolves and that's the way.
The quintessence of mindfulness is the quality of wisdom.''
