Should meditation form part of normal life?

.
.
In human life you cannot identify a single path to follow
All is jumble and confusion with individuals at all different levels of existence conflicting with each other on issues of advice and ego
.
.
If there was a single path to follow it would start with normal life
and it would revolve upon normal breathing
.
.
Modern life requires you to be continually external - your attention projected outwards
That alone is the main stumbling block to all meditational, spiritual or religious advancement
.
.
Unless you switch this around - unless your default focus is internal
you will only ever be a dilettante the same as all the other pony-tail posers
You switch your focus from external to internal by nothing more than being conscious of your own normal, daily breathing at all times. That’s it
.
.
It is incredibly simple, but when you start you won’t be able to keep it up for 10 minutes. And when you get a rough grip on the process you will say it was the toughest thing you ever did
.
.
I am not suggesting you breathe deeper or calmer or better or more evenly
I am saying nothing more than you need to be conscious of your own breathing
Listen to yourself breathe in and breathe out. All the time. That’s it
If you ever manage it, it will change your life
.
.
In addition, once that platform of attainment is achieved
true meditational, spiritual or religious growth then becomes possible
From that platform the path to ‘son of God’ status is open before you
Without that platform you are the usual poser in the grip of his own ego
