Life, is never the same after knowing Amita. It offers me an invaluable opportunity to explore life in a deeper sense.

I was regarded as a happy lucky child in most people's eyes. The smoothness and stillness in my up-bringing allowed me to have the 'luxury' to live without much worries and therefore able to spare time and think a lot. I have a lots of questions linger in my head  --- Why are we here? What are we doing in life? What is life? And yet people around don't seem to bother in answering nor interested in seeking the answers together. Norm tells us we have to strive hard to earn a penny for living. Norm tells us we have to get married, have children, and find a reputable and respectable or at least a decent job... 'Norm' tells us to do a lot of things. Anyone who walks a path that deviates from it would be categorized as 'bizarre'. At that point of life, I was most disheartened to come to realize the cruelty of the purpose and meaning of life to be so superficial and insignificant. I had always thought there would be something more.

After attempts of seeking for answers and yet no books nor seminars could really resolve my puzzle, I almost forgot that I was once a keen searcher. The block walls that I've run into had shaped me into a very skeptical being since there were way too many people overstate the thoroughness of their findings. Nine years ago (1999) I got to know this place through a friend, still I remained rather doubtful at the beginning stage. Until I first experienced the 'healing' effect of the concepts, and am now forever freed from migraine which had been with me as well as the sinus allergy since I was a kid. A pity I couldn't recall which year it was that all of a sudden, through understanding more of how life works and what life is, symptoms vanished. Everyone knows migraine could never be cured but only numbed by painkillers. Because of this miraculous result, it got me into this research team. I wanted to know more how the concept works in a simple yet magical way, and how we can apply in life. Most importantly, I wanted more people to know about the 'mystery' of life.

This institute explains life and the workings of it in a very scientific and modern language, most importantly in a very neutral yet practical manner - you do not have to idolize or honor (I do not want to use the term worship) anything, you do not have to 'believe' in anything. You will understand by witnessing and seeing for yourself. This, is what makes Amita stand out from others. Through training to be a 'viewer' in the research team, I learned to be more aware of our every behavioral intentions, how our mind works,  and how it deceives us, how our interactions with people, places and objects would result in steering the course of life to a certain way and hence affect our body. By grasping the essence of the concept, I am given the chance to realize and anticipate the consequences of actions or ideas before it is too late. Now I look at things with a completely different angle, allowing me to fill my days with much more joy than sorrow. By unveiling the truth, you will be shocked by the beauty & the intricacy of what makes life works in its way behind the scene.

Thanks to Amita, it teaches me how to 'live' a life fully, and in a meaningful way.  It is a bliss indeed.
