Republished: Meditation: How To Use It? Instead of just sitting… or waiting for an experience…

meditation Meditation: a very philosophical article. You’ll probably hate it! I wrote it four years ago, and I revisited, by accident, today.

What is meditation and what is the role of meditation?

I will examine this question as a non-meditator who has tried to meditate (TM) and failed.

I am not against meditation. Meditation is a tool, to allow all knowledge to reach you, past the noise, from all there is, distinguished as knowledge beyond your own, and as a tool: it is invaluable.

I have been quasi “meditating” the past day or so… the questions I am meditating over are

  1. whether God is a sentient being
  2. whether the “law” of attraction, the law that says that you can earn something coming to you by adjusting your vibration to its…

Anything you pursue is running from you…

hard-to-fly
I visited a website today that is packed with articles about 5 steps to this and 7 steps to that, about happiness, about your body, about money.

And people are eating it up. They share it. They comment… Yaay, some different ways to pursue what you desire.

But all those readers are like lemmings throwing themselves off the cliff… What?

This past week I took a break from nonfiction reading, and have been reading novels and novellas again.

Do you want to become smarter? Slow down!

simple-fake-solutions-2Cheap Closure Now

As you know I am working, instead of the CDC that, truthfully, should do this work, but doesn’t… I am working on effective methods of turning this epidemic of biting mites around.

And while I am doing the work of a scientist, being scientist, guinea pig, janitor, judge and executioner at the same time, I learn more than I have bargained for.

I have learned something today, and I’d like to share it with you. It is one of the main moves you render yourself a miserable loser in this game called Life.

The move is called: Cheap Closure Now.

Tool for self-knowledge: Mapping

get-lost-to-find-yourself

Not until you are lost, that you can start finding yourself

It’s a lot like “empty your cup” in the last article… as long as you know, you are stuck with it…

I watched the movie “Something The Lord Made” again.

This time I paid attention to the music, and started to see the underlying message the film makers were making: poor black kid… blah blah blah.

The story is about a smart, ambitious black kid, who wants to be a doctor, but has no money to go to school. He starts working, first as a janitor, then as a lab assistant, and then as a researcher for a surgeon in a hospital, and develops the method for the first heart surgery, the blue baby surgery.

You say you want transformation, but really you want confirmation

you-get-it-girlMost of you come to me for confirmation. Confirmation that what you know is true, that who you are and how you “do” life is ok…

A handful of you are somewhat open.

Now, I don’t say that you know this about yourself… this article is to wake you up, to bring awareness to this, so you can be conscious of it.

2015 Passover, the blood moon, what is Passover about?

2015 Passover blood moon signI grew up communist, atheist, so when I left Hungary in 1982, I went to Israel to find out what it means to be Jewish. Honestly, I didn’t like any of it… It wasn’t for me… all that tradition, or alternatively all that worldliness…

I came the the US, and at some point I started to study Kabbalah with the Kabbalah Centre… 1 Kabbalah is an incomprehensible vague oral tradition, wide open to interpretation, and thus, for most people it is quite useless. Mystical, yeah… but… mystical for a purpose is poison to your soul.

The study of Kabbalah used to be limited to men over 40. Why? because younger men, and women are more result oriented.

Result oriented is good… you would say if you live in our culture, that is what you are supposed to be, right?

I have been having suicidal thoughts… What does the echo say?

being guided by the echoSometimes having someone to talk to, someone who can listen, instead of trying to solve your problems, is the best thing that can happen to you.

But there are things that are hard to share.

And then, if you are the one who is supposed to be there for others, no one expects you to have problems, or to be there for you. You are alone, and that is that.

All my life I have been the strong one, and no one ever expected me to need them to listen to me. So when I needed someone to listen, I had to pay them. It’s expensive. And now I don’t even trust anyone to just listen… so it’s tough.

Middle of the road – wisdom or mistake?

One of the biggest challenges for me on the path is to stay in the middle. Neither left nor right…

  • Neither too egotistic, nor self-cheating.
  • Neither too buoyant nor down in the dumps.
  • Neither accepting nor refusing credit.
  • Neither too nice nor too rude to people and myself.

The Work: Understanding vs. Seeing

see-understandSome of you do the work: you know who you are.

The most frequent issue that comes through to me in email is trying to understand.

But there is an issue with that.

The Thinking Man, i.e. the Man of the Mind, thinks about it, tries to understand.
