rEv is absolutely crackers!! Or, a thread on meditation...

[JacksSmirkingRevenge]

You simply need to re-integrate the energy levels of your chakras.

Sitting naked inside a crystal pyramid under the light of the full moon while eating peyote is my recommendation...

Nonsense. Trepanning is clearly the solution here!
Nothing centres the mind better than drilling a hole in one's own head. I should know...somebody on the interwebz said so.

[FBM]

Piss off! Are you completely ignorant of the superiority of chelation therapy?

[JacksSmirkingRevenge]

All this is just guesswork until he's had his bumps felt and a proper diagnosis made, anyway.

[pErvinalia]

Wikipedia's got me sorted.

Strive to be aware of what you're doing and phase out the distracting environment

[JimC]

My little bit of utter bullshit has become a philosophical thread in its own right!

And the title is spot on!

[Seth]

Try wanking to get you in the right relaxed mental state. After orgasm don't get up, just linger on that golden plane focusing on sensation rather than thought. I can blow half a day that way with no trouble at all.

Or, go sit "on nature." I went all Zen one time bowhunting elk. Took a tailor's seat leaning against a log near a water hole just after noon and went absolutely still, closed my eyes and focused on sounds. After an indeterminate time I heard something crashing around in the brush very near me. I thought it was an elk, but when I opened my eyes, it turned out to be a field mouse rustling about in the leaves about six inches from my knee.

Then I realized that it was dusk and that I'd been sitting absolutely motionless for nearly six hours, fully aware of what was going on around me but entirely divorced from my body. When I tried to get up I fell over because my legs were asleep. Took a half hour longer to get to where I could walk again.

It was very cool.

There's a problem with meditating while hunting. Once while I was sitting amongst some pines, a fairly large white tail buck came walking by about 10 yards away, stopped, gave a few sniffs in my direction and then continued on. It had a lot of grey hair and was around a 10-point or so. Instead of seeing a target or prey, I saw a beautiful animal. I had absolutely zero interest in shooting it. I don't regret it.

Well, I suppose "hunting" and "killing" are two different things.

I had a similar experience a few days earlier in the same area where I was standing in the oak brush as two spike bulls walked within six feet of me and kept going. Couldn't shoot them anyway, they were too young, but a really up-close encounter with wild elk was pretty cool.

[FBM]

True. Hunting and killing are two different acts. That incident was one of a handful that eventually convinced me that I was really into it for the hunting, not the killing. Now if I could, I'd be doing it with a camera instead of a gun. Unless I needed meat, that is.

It's like Zen fly-fishing, where you present a fly without a hook.

[pErvinalia]

That's equivalent to my regular fly-fishing with a hook. I.e., nothing ever bites.

Have you tried singing to the flies? Or offering them a good deal on a used car?

[FBM]

I've heard of catfish and zebra fish, even monkfish, but never a fly fish.

[laklak]

Well, you can tune a guitar, but you can't tuna fish.
