    • The key to meditation is not "to not think" , indeed in one of his talks Alan Watts says exactly this. Meditation is a whole state of being, I can meditate going about my everyday life, it is an inner calm of sorts and a perspective only you can be aware of. To apply a maxim such as you have is to put it in a box , it is like trying to explain love, it cannot be explained by something which it is not, you cannot explain love because it is so very personal and indeed everyone will have a different view which also cannot be exactly felt by another. Meditation is not tangible, Alan Watts does make us think a lot but that is not to say we cannot be in a meditative state whilst thinking. In Savasana in Yoga I ask my students not to empty their minds, indeed that would be impossible, but rather to try to slow down thoughts ; to try to create spaces in between them to calm a busy mind, this to me is how anything and anywhere and any place can be a meditation,they can then take that with them and their inner calm shines out in their interations with others and has a beautiful knock on effect of compassion and acceptance. I would explore this open view of meditation as it is very interesting to oneself. Peace x

  • When I was 15, I remember considering how a person who is blind must see... So I closed my eyes and was listening to everything around me, calculating what I thought was what and what it's aproximent location was... This was causing my brain a lot of work trying to know where everything was without seeing it. So then I stoped, (trying to identify) labeling everything, every sound that I heard. And just listen. Let all the sounds come in all at once (without me "getting in the way" turning it into a process, putting a label on everything... Just let it be.) And for a moment, I swear to you, it was like I could see 360° degrees around me. From kids outside running by the house, cars driving on the road near by, birds tweeting right outside the window that had wind flowing through it because it was open slightly and the clock sitting on the counter clicking. I remember it kinda freaking me out a little bit so I opened my eyes, jumped up and snapped out of it.

    • Nah man I expierenced that myself quite a few times albeit on LSD haha but i know exactly what youre talking about i could thinksee everything aroung me the birds in the trees what color they were and everything. I wrote it off as imagination the first few times but after a while and actually seeing the things afterward that kinda changed my perspective on the matter. There probably really is something to that especially considering so many govermental agencies around the world did extensive research into this matter....

    • As the commenter above I am blind and I think what you did is truly incredible because thats exactly how it is. The same as sight. You don’t look around and label, you observe passively and everything you need to see is there which is exactly what you have to do with sound when you don’t have any sight, all the detail and richness is there if you just shut up and take notice. Its harder with sound though because its very easy to shut down your visual imagination and just see through your eyes but shutting down your inner voice and just listening is more challenging. Sounds to me like you are a very empathetic person and I appreciate you trying to imagine what my perception is like.

    • Its important to keep in mind that our brains evolved the concept of "past and future" because it helped us survive at a time when we were prey (we learned to plan/organize). Our close cousins chimpanzees and other monkey species don't have this ability, because their ancestors stayed tree-living. But on the ground we were more vulnerable. When our brains got the concept of time, we traded that brainspace and sacrificed other traits that has to do with understanding the present (like reacting fast to something we see). Today this time-perspective still helps us, but like most traits there's an obvious downside to it. We tend to focus too much on future and past. (Based on research mentioned in this video: kzhead.info/sun/ntikmrmimoyfl2g/bejne.html)

And, just know that people love you without ever having to even meet you. Hang in there and try to focus on seeing life from a different angle.

Who cares if the guy doesn't know what he's talking about, he's expressing himself. Perhaps you should focus more on yourself. Maybe then you would actually face your own self doubts and insecurities, rather than trying so desperately hard to ignore them that you must distract yourself by putting others down and insulting them as a means to make yourself feel better. Let the guy spout his nonsense and keep that negative energy to yourself, or perhaps let it out into a punching bag or something. Make it productive

    • Time/Space Continuum is a LIE found only in Life/HELL. Mind Control is all words for words exist not in Reality. Form exists not. Emotions and Spirituality exist not, mere words of Mind Control. Dissolve all knowledge, all Mind, have an empty Mind and Silence Knows itself as Absolute/TAO, the UNKNOWN. This is Eternal, Simultaneous, Immortal, Peace, Freedom.
