Meditation Super Powers

Being a comic book reader and a dramatist from the Greek Tragic School of Roman Imperial Captivity, I can easily say that without meditation, I would have ripped my body in half in a cosmic cataclysm that would have left me more debilitated than I have been.

So when I read at the BBC, “Meditation ‘brain training’ clues,” I don’t take it as curio or novelty. I am also not as upset as I used to be over why my fellow people are so resistant against meditation. Most of my fellow inmates here in the imperium have trouble managing sleeping. For many years, I failed to understand that sleeping and meditation have a relationship. I am not here to summarize the essential details of this relationship because at this stage of development I don’t have a clue. What I do know is that it is difficult to meditate when I am deprived of sleep. So when we can’t get our sleeping under control there is no point to discuss meditation.

As a teenaged high school student, living at home with mother, I was quite a devoted practitioner of meditation. I realized immediately the practical, down-to-Earth benefits: improved memory, increased awareness of others, the lifting of suppressed emotions, improved diction and the dissolution of nervous energy (which at times can prevent me from brushing my teeth with my left hand properly). It was the college, dormitory, pre-marital-sex years that destroyed my meditation regimen. I am still working toward a new regimen to replace the last one. There has been some vital assistance in this vital area from someone mentioned previously in this Blog. We have to keep going. It’s vital.

Yep Ras. It's funny how common a report it is among folk who have practiced meditation to have "lost the regimen". There's always the "gotta get back to it", "know what's missing" loops. The effects of just one properly performed meditation are almost as vivid as quenching thirst.We know when we're suffering from spirit thirst and yet it's very common to neglect that nurturing. Here's to the no-thing ness. Htp
