This is when most of my breakthrough insights arise, as you can tell if you look at my Simple Explanation videos on youtube--mostly taken in the woods. It also means I am carrying a bag of dog poop more often than not during these satori states! ;-)cydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12289590700972732767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475296651918472095.post-14927333083761830442021-03-01T20:32:51.701-08:002021-03-01T20:32:51.701-08:00You can meditate anytime anywhere you don’t have t...You can meditate anytime anywhere you don’t have to be on a relax mode, I actually do meditation better when I do my daily shores or high intensity cardio, the faster I move my neurological system slow down and puts my body on autopilot and permit my brain to go deeper into my thoughts just remember to control the breathing too !

These entities are called "archons" in Gnostic terminology. For each organized aggregation of technical achievement, there is an archon that rises like a pesky, demented unit of consciousness and attaches itself to all manifestations of that tech. In other words, there is a negative consciousness attached to PCs; an archon of personal computing, whose goal is to cause you pain and frustration. You can read about archons over on my new blog: https://newgnosticgospel.blogspot.com/2020/03/viral-zombies-archonic-disinformation.html cydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12289590700972732767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475296651918472095.post-3739084461480145852016-04-14T11:09:35.158-07:002016-04-14T11:09:35.158-07:00Thanks for reading this article and posting these ...Thanks for reading this article and posting these links to your books.

When you do only one thing at a time, whether it is walking on the beach and thinking of seagulls, focusing on a doorknob or a mantra, or just non-judgmentally aware, or being in the moment, your postural muscles relax, and this is accompanied by the release of endogenous opioids, which provides a natural high. This is why relaxation feels good.<br />Does this mean that teaching and practicing meditation is worthless? Quite the opposite. It just means that all rest is meditation and all meditation is rest, or in other words, you can’t rest unless you are in some way meditating!<br /><br />A short explanation of this is here:<br />https://www.scribd.com/doc/291558160/Holmes-Meditation-and-Rest-The-American-Psychologist<br /><br />And a longer one is here:<br />https://www.scribd.com/doc/284056765/The-Book-of-Rest-The-Odd-Psychology-of-Doing-Nothing<br />DrMezmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14388332731880239516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475296651918472095.post-81993195665386190412013-04-18T14:13:31.298-07:002013-04-18T14:13:31.298-07:00Another way to neutralize the influence of a stron...Another way to neutralize the influence of a strong meme is to take a step upward, where the meme is seen as simply part of a larger meme that makes more sense.

I know that, for me, those are times when I am in a hurry to accomplish the task, and I have no time to waste. Lately I have been telling myself on these occasions that I am not in control of the Universe, and that the Universe apparently has other plans for my time. This usually relaxes me and I either redo the task with less attachment for the outcome or abandon it for another day when I feel less pressured.<br /><br />So, why do you suppose you become so angry at the computer? Can you imagine something you could say to yourself that would defuse the situation? Because, your meditation has definitely enabled you to regain your composure quicker after an emotional experience that before you were a meditator. So what you need to do is identify the particular meme that enrages you, and then figure out a counter-statement--a neutralizing meme--of the meme that feeds the anger. You may not be able to stop the initial emotion, but you can certainly stop feeding the anger and return quickly to center.

When the mind will not still it is just the way it is with no resistance. For some reason I have a strong meme that is not affected by meditation. That meme is computer rage! I get so angy at my computer (not at people) when it doesn't respond the way it is supposed to. This doesn't happen often but strikes me as odd that meditation has not improved that negative meme. Any suggestions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
