Vivemos no mundo do apego e do consumo. Agarramo-nos no que conquistamos e ainda assim sofremos. Ainda queremos mais e temos que ficar atentos para que o que conquistamos no nos seja tomado. Como conviver com uma situaço antagonica entre o possuir e o no possuir? O sofrimento esta embutido nas duas. Ento posso usar um terno Armani, possuir um carro Ferrari, um relogio Rolex e uma passagem no avio de turismo do Josef Bezos? Sim, porem no pode se apegar a eles, pois a pena e um imenso sofrimento. Para compreender esse paradoxo, viver em paz, ter controle do ego, a pratica da meditaço dhyana, ou atenço plena, ou mindfulness, se apresenta enquanto possibilidade para aquietar o interior e estancar o sofrimento no ocidente. Pratica oriental milenar que se difundiu e se adaptou por onde passou ate chegar ao ocidente, Mindfulness trata do ser vivo, e vivo no seu sentido mais radical, mais subversivo: o ser vivo que muda o ambiente. E o Mindfulness e o ato de reconhecer nossa propria natureza interior. Honrando a referencia da tradiço oriental e as raizes do saber ocidental, David Wilson abre caminho para que essas praticas cheguem ate as pessoas no seu cotidiano, na sua luta e pela busca da felicidade. David Wilson e medico, psicanalista formado e especializado em psiquiatria, atuando em consultorio em So Paulo ha mais de 30 anos. Pratica mindfulness ha cerca de duas decadas, tendo iniciado, ja alguns anos, avenidas de dialogo entre as ciencias de saude e as tradiçes filosoficas do Ocidente, por um lado, e as tradiçes contemplativas por outros, procurando lidar com os desafios da saude humana, tal como ele vem se apresentando em anos recentes.

Just because the word "church" appears on the outside of a building does not mean that it is the church of the Living God that Jesus died for, was raised for, and will come back for when he returns. His church was established to accomplish his mission on earth as ambassadors of a Kingdom not of this world. The mission of worshipping (Bride) our Creator and serving our neighbors (Body) can only be accomplished as the church abides in his presence (Branches) to bear witness as the living temple (Building) that he is building within us. When we live together in unity as a heavenly family (Brothers and Sisters) we are fortified by his truth (Bulwark) against the spiritually compromised world that surrounds us. We are called to reflect his light (Beacon) into our neighborhoods and among the nations. These seven metaphors for the church were given to us by New Testament writers to set our "minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth." We hope church leaders today will reexamine these signs to evaluate the condition of their local church and to help clarify the Lords mission for their congregations.
