Yuval Nah Harari credits Vipassana Meditation for being able to skillfully manage success, fame & adoration with a balanced mind.
Some of his statements:
1. It is dangerous to raise any person to level of “Prophet” or “Guru”, because then what happens is that the people who look up to the “Guru” they stop making efforts by themselves to understand, and to come up with solutions. They just expect somebody else to provide the answers.
2. I try to really observe what’s happening in my own mind.
3. I meditate every day (Vipassana Meditation) for 2-hours. Every year I go for a long, 30 or 60 days retreat to observe what is happening in my own mind.
4. I don’t think I could have written the books in the first place, or survived the consequences, without the kind of mental balance that Vipassana practice gives me.
5. When I look at my own mind, I really see how little there is to admire. Because there is so much garbage.
6. I’m very careful about what comes out of my mouth.
7. Walls are very popular … except in one place … between the mind and the mouth.
8. We have this cult of the authentic leader … very very dangerous.
9. I don’t want authentic leaders. I don’t want authentic politicians. I want responsible leaders and politicians.
10. I look at myself and see how many things pop up in the mind which are full of fear and full of hatred … And I shouldn’t act from there.
11. Just because something pops up in my mind, that’s not good enough reason to share it with the rest of humanity.
12. Personally I find that meditation is really helpful.

may many more people come and walk on the path of Dhamma through their parami and the inspiration from Yuval's Dhamma roles
fantastic

It is great to see many people nowadays turning themselves to meditation. And giving advice to practice It. The search of the ineer/individual self ( away from the ego, ahamkara). With the purpose to unite (yoke) with the universal self. Only take care of fake gurus. Take much, much care, because there are so many...

He's prepared to accuse others who contradict his godless belief system of speaking "garbage." If he's so sure of his 'perfect' intelligence, then he must be having the answer to all the questions of life & his existence. He gives a bad name to meditation if he calls others who contradict his godless belief system STUPID. I would like to ask him: "Why was he born, and will he die too?" And, "Did he choose to be born a human being?" This is how the false prophets of the present yuga will delude the ignorant into believing and accepting whatever they say as true. But the wise are never fooled.

@@Yogi-dz3eh That's disingenuous. If your opinion is exclusively for your use why publish it for the whole world to see? Everyone who posts comments on KZread knows they are 'fair game' for criticism (or praise). And by the way, I did not criticise you; I simply asked you a question. Besides its many other benefits KZread is a place to come and learn from others ....I'm genuinely interested in what you believe is the right orientation.
