Yes...

 

In same way, as 'physical exercise' might

help you " find " strength!

 

Or, [maybe] better yet,

as looking towards sky helps you... " find " the Sky!

One meditation that I learnt from Ramana can

perhaps, be called... I-I meditation...

 

Other is Simple Abidance...

 

But, I experienced that in order to really be able

to 'abide' or to 'remain as you are'... you must

already have mental peace!

 

Later, I also read Ramana say:

 

D.: What does Maharshi say about hatha yoga

or Tantric practices?

 

M: Maharshi does not criticise any of the

existing methods. All are good for the purification

of the mind. Because the purified mind alone is

capable of grasping his method and sticking to its practice.

 

 

 

....

 

I noticed that when I " already " have a

'unresolved' thought... the best way is

to clearly and completely see, inquire,

understand and resolve the thought!

 

And, if that doesn't work then, just

just " surrender " [as in die]...

 

I found that as long there are unresolved

thoughts... 'abidance' is not really possible!

 

....

 

I also noticed that every 'disturbing' thought

has its other part in the 'body'! There is

some sensation, some pulsation, some throbbing,

twisting, stress, strain rises in the body corresponding

to every 'disturbing' thought...

 

I noticed that the best way to deal with this

'body sensation' to direct my full attention

inward there and try to see it clearly and

completely!

 

I saw that until the body is " free " of that 'sensation'...

true 'abidance' can not take place!

 

....

 

I also noticed that if I practice 'abidance'

before falling to sleep... it make me Wide Awake!

 

Many times, I " slept " through the whole night

like that, but, yet stayed 'awake' all night!

 

I noticed that if I want to have an " unconscious "

'normal' sleep... this is not the way...

 

I found out that Vipassana helps me in getting

deep sleep in which I remain 'normal' and

'unconscious'!

 

....

 

I also noticed that as I engage in my " worldly "

[and " professional " ] activities... Clearly knowing

 

- why [i am doing it]

 

- what [is that I really want]

 

- how [best, I can achieve the 'purpose']

 

- what [is the best thing to do now]

 

 

and then, giving Full Attention to the Present

Moment works better than Abidance!

 

Abidance naturally results when I give my

full attention to the present moment but,

if I use abidance as the starting point,

it usually doesn't last in a *worldly* [or,

professional] environment!

 

 

....

 

I have noticed that in order to lead a social,

worldly and professional life " no thought "

is not enough... in addition, I need to consciously

cultivate, keep and grow... " good thoughts " !

I knew him.

 

He no longer lives here.

 

He died in a fire.

 

 

I still have his hat....I use it to catch butterflies.

If that was true [and, I have to " logically " conclude

that it is NOT True] then your [grand] children are lucky

to [not] have you because, you might fail to understand

and teach simple things like

 

the benefits and dangers of:

 

- nutritious light food

 

- excessive alcohol

 

- drug abuse

 

- drunken driving

 

- walking on the road without looking

 

 

I am glad that my child's teacher and my city

cops still " understand " for " whom " these things

are " good " or " bad " !

Firstly.....I agree with you. But for some ,in some worlds(that are

not worlds) ........there is no 'entity'. So therefore and thereby ,

as booze is an entity, it's just a conceptual thing...not real. So

therefore and thereby if an imagined entity were to have an

imagined 'problem' with alcohol....the best bet is to just go out and

get a few fifths of bourbon and pour them down that imaginary gullet.

If any problems or sickness arrive....no probs. that's just all more

imagination. And if as an ideated drunk you cause some people

swirling around your vacuum vortex self like post-its in delirium,are

hurt by your actions or lack of actions.....Fuck them. Just a bunch

of friggin' ghosts anyway. Nutritious food? Just another urban and

imaginary entity legend. Fuck that shit. Eat some chips and chocolate

to your illsory hearts content. I mean even if you were to suffer

some condition like diabetes or somethin'...Fuck it. that's just

another idea that's floating downstream from some fucking imagined

piece of nothing. If you die....well there you go fooling your little

imaginary self again. You can't die...you have never lived. never

never. Walking on the road without looking? See here now....what

road.? There are no real roads. Cops? Teachers? Children? Puppy dogs

and Kittens? Good? Bad? Fuck that. It's all in our delusionary and

nonexistent minds.How they all got there and from where or

why.....well again that's a 'MYSTERY'. But hell theres nothing really

mysterious about mysteries either. They ain't anymore than anything

else. Drug abuse? Man that's how you get to the " Understanding " . It's

all stuff that never was................YEAH RIGHT. I will never give

that kind of conceptual masturbation my purchase. But some folks have

strange taste and that's just all part and parcel of the fun and

fantasy.......I guess.

Believing that you don't exist......is a clever way to confirm that

you do.
