Yes. Pretty much anything can be your object of meditation. Transcendental meditation uses a mantra as the focus. All meditation simplified enough is just about focusing your mind enough on an object, that it becomes very quiet. The breath is just recommended most often because it is always there for you. I meditate with my eyes closed because it's easiest for me. Starting out, I think that is best because your mind won't be so distracted by objects in your field of vision.

I had the same problem, until I figured out how to configure the pillows I sit on, in a specific way that allows me to sit comfortably for long lengths of time. I'm not flexible enough to sit in the lotus position. My legs have a little too much muscle mass from doing squats. I should probably stretch more, tbh. It's definitely something I plan on grasping in the future.

I haven't tried Piracetam, but I always keep myself stocked up on Phenylpiracetam and Noopept. I like the two because the doses required are much lower. Take some before I meditate, and it's like a steroid for the mind.

Yes, your definition is correct. I was simply describing enlightenment in a more simplified manner, as to make sense to the greatest number of people. If I said, "Once in Jhana, direct your concentrated mind to the rising and passing of bodily sensations, noticing all phenomena in your consciousness is impermanent, including your ego. Exit and recognize that self is an illusion, and you are everything in your sensory perception. This is enlightenment." I don't think very many people would have u…

I spent 11 years living in a forest studying Vedanta and there is nothing to be said about meditation other than as a means to prepare your mind for understanding the supreme truth. There is no "benefit" to be gained from that other than that you wanted to know. You can spend 45 years reading something, but just because you're reading that subject, doesn't mean you have become an expert in it. In meditation, experiential learning is far more important than knowledge gained reading ancient texts.…

Hey, man hope you've been doing well. No idea you swallowed the red pill. It depends would you describe the "high energy", as a pleasant feeling? Does it grow when you focus on how pleasant it feels? I've never really experienced anything like that before I actually enter Jhana. Try focusing on that feeling, and if it continues building up with it than follow the sensation.

Once I have a time that I get really comfortable with sitting for, your 15 minutes, for example, I try to push the length of my sit by just 5 or so minutes. Getting uncomfortable is necessary. It's really a great skill to develop. Aiming for uncomfortable situations is what creates growth in life. An additional 5 minutes may sound like a short period of time, but do this 6 times, and you increase by 30 minutes. As you sit longer those times that used to be impossible for you to sit will become e…

That's great. I tend to keep my eyes semi-closed, but if that is working for you then wonderful.

I would post a link to the study, but it would be removed immediately, so I'll PM you one. Sam Harris, a famous neuroscientist and well known atheist, describes many psychedelic experiences he had on a three month silent retreat. This guy is an enormous skeptic, yet admits that there are many things people can do with their minds that science hasn't caught up to yet.

Yes, there is most definitely benefit to doing it even if you would consider yourself present minded. About a year ago, I got to the point where my anxieties were completely melted away. I didn't have any intrusive thoughts. Now I've reached the point where I am in direct control of my happiness. My happiness is independent of love life, money, etc. However, I still pursue those things because I would like to reproduce and have a lot of money to further improve the world. There are no external e…

Okay, so first off, being present in the moment outside of meditation is great, but simply doing that, without really applying a lot of focus during your actual meditation won't result in the changes you want. It's kind of like when people recommend you think "positively". It really annoys me. You can't just positively think yourself out of depression or anxiety. Your mind has gotten that way out of years of negatively formed thought patterns. Because your thought patters are like this, the neur…

I would highly recommend reading "Right Concentration" by Leigh Brasington, if you're looking for a good read any time soon. He does an incredible job at interpreting the Jhanas in a modern context and detailing how one goes about reaching them. I don't think there is one way to determine if someone has reached enlightenment. It is defined and determined based on different things in different cultures. It's not like there's a specific point you reach and just know you are enlightened. It's more …

I don't place a huge amount of importance on morality. That's not to say you shouldn't, but personally, I like to keep things as simple as possible. I tend to use common sense morality. Meaning, if something is going to infringe upon another person's life, that is hurt it or diminish it in a really significant way, I try not to follow through with that action. I definitely perform some conduct that would be considered immoral through many people's eyes. Nothing that isn't discussed in the 48 Law…

I'm headed to the gym, but when I get back I'll give you a detailed response.

No, by 3 year monk mode I simply mean, I've been working on myself for 3 years without paying too much attention to women. I've had them, but not primary focus. I learned of MGTOW last week actually, and it really resonated with me.

It is still showing up where I responded to this message, so forgive me, if you already read this. I got a message saying my comment was deleted because I linked to an outside source. Sure thing, man. Leigh Brasington seems to be the most well respected source on how to reach Jhana. Give his name a google and go to his site. I would link it, but it would get deleted. Follow exactly what he says to do, and you will reach it too. It worked for me.

I meditate once a day, in the morning. Usually for, at least, an hour and a half.

They vary in length, depending on how busy my schedule is. I usually start first thing when I wake up in the morning and go for, at least, an hour and a half. Beginning, though, I started for only 5 minutes and worked my way in small increments weekly.

I was practising mindfulness to a tee, but it simply did jack shit for me. I feel that the benefits of meditation are probably subject to individual differences, and perhaps somewhat overstated. Were you practicing mindfulness or the technique I described above? Mindfulness will not result in the same sorts of experience, as concentration meditation. Mindfulness does have it's own set of unique states that are achievable, but are much more difficult to reach, imo, because mindfulness on it's own…

Rather than just letting the itch stay, I usually just give it a scratch. It immediately goes away, and I can get back to meditating. I tried letting the itch itch when I started, but have had more success scratching.

Your mind is literally your entire world. What you look at is there because complex processes going on in the brain allow it to be presented to you. If you change and strengthen your mind, then there is no limit to what aspect of your life can be improved. I listen better, study longer, speak more clearly. Name a skill, and I'll tell you how meditation improved it.

Oh, yes. That is the AMA that got me started.

I highly recommend reading his manifesto. Ignore that he wrote it. Take it for what it means and objectively determine whether what it says is true or not... It's extremely relevant in today's current political landscape.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
