in an ongoing recycling process.

The areas on which we train our awareness may well be: body, emotion, thought, and, perhaps, 'knowing.'
Part of our practice may best include meditation and contemplation.
As most of us will continue to relate to others in a society, it will help to consider the nature of justice, ethics, morality as part of our understanding.

Self-knowledge.

A way of educating yourself.
A life of greater meaning.
