As the Buddhist monks say : “poverty is our shield”

Nice. Thanks. I do Shikantaza mself.

I’m a sperg and I meditate.

Shikantaza.

It gets me high, expands my world, makes things smooth.

It overcomes it the way levitation might overcome a limp.

A swail (swale) is defined as “a shallow ditch”. Which rhymes with shallow bitch.

You could have just said “Beware!” or “Dooooooommmmm!!!”. No need for such verbosity.

Even when learning to play a instrument you get feedback. When you twang the strings with your inexpert fingers and make a sound. That’s a huge source of guidance.

In meditation that feedback is key. A dozen feelings and effects. You experiment. You feel your way through the darkness.

Without that you are guided by … what?

No it isn’t. It’s like saying if you don’t feel anything at all then you just stop lifting weights the way you’re doing it. A strain in your muscles. A little sweat. A little worn out. Anything.

And if you don’t feel anything, then maybe change your routine. Increase your reps. Increase your weight.

Because otherwise, what exactly are you doing? Just banging out some formula and hoping for the best? Hoping the happy story that your teacher told you someday comes true? That’s dumb.

The results are the guide. You feel your way along with that feedback.

Yes, even with mindfulness meditation.

If you are not guided by results then what guides you, a happy story?

Lol indeed

… results of meditation are never immediate or even obvious, just over time, if one persists, things get a little easier.

Speak for yourself.

In fact, a classic warning is to beware of getting carried away by the bliss/high that commonly arrives.

So I gotta say. If it ain’t getting you high, or producing even a little bit of noticeable effect, then you would do well to experiment with other techniques.

I do mindfulness meditation too. It’s a big thing in my life.

Behind the flags, propaganda, soldiers and murder it’s always a bunch of billionaires looking for a nice investment. Every single time. You’ll never bring them to court.

Ya me too. I want an obstacle course with a climbing wall.

And speaking of climbing walls, I really like them. Not just for climbing tho. I like the way they look.

You seen that movie “Mountainhead”. They’ve got this big room full of concrete and colorful climbing nubs. Just totally trippy and beautiful.

They run it this way to create a massive smoke cloud to hide the way it’s really run. Purely dictatorially, for profit, manipulation and a safe space for advertising.

Boards of Canada. Never live. But I dislike that kind of thing, crowds, driving etc, so no biggie.

Check out the big virtue on Acamon.

Maybe teach that fungus how to photosynthesize.

Or cell scale fusion.

Building a fence. It’s really going to improve my life.

It’ll be fun to build. Look good. Contain my dog. Keep deer away from some stuff. Be a trellis for climbing flowers.

I’ve built a lot of fences.
