5. "Mindfulness" to the first question.

from wiki:

However, mindfulness does not have to be constrained to a formal meditation session. Mindfulness is an activity that can be done at any time; it does not require sitting, or focusing on the breath, but rather simply realizing what is happening in the present moment is mental content, including simply noticing the mind's usual "commentary". One can be mindful of the sensations in one's feet while walking, of the sound of the wind in the trees, or the feeling of soapy water while doing dishes. One can also be mindful of the mind's commentary: "I wish I didn't have to walk any further, I like the sound of the leaves rustling, I wish washing dishes weren't so boring and the soap weren't drying out my skin", etc. Once we identify experience as mental content, we have the freedom to cease identification with any judgments/perceptions: "washing dishes: boring" may become "The warm water is in unison with the detergent and is currently washing away the plate's grime, the sun is shining through the window and casting an ever greater shadow on the dish's white ceramics." In this example, one may see that washing does not have to be judged "boring"; washing dishes is only a process of coordinating dishes with soap and water. Any activity done mindfully is a form of meditation, and mindfulness is possible practically all the time.

To the second question, being aware that you are :)

8. The space between thoughts?

Peace.

As for the second question, sadly I wish there was a reward for being a decent human being but I've seen too many awful people rewarded while the good ones get the shaft.

13. The answers to your questions

lies in the space between your thoughts. Think about it.


for fox news and right wing radio wingnuts who get all their thoughts from Rush Limbaug, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, et al., that space is called:

dead air

as for the other, the reward for being a decent human being is:

being a decent human being

the question is, what is do you get from being a descent human being?
answer: ancestors.

17. Spacing out...

As to the reward for decency, it's self-respect.
