The truth is right here and now



I used to do meditation and practices, such as sanskrit mantras and yogas. However after I quit all those things I have noticed it's even better for me. However every now and then it's good to close your eyes(not sleeping ) I think, but it really depends on the person if it's good or necessary for him/her.

However a relaxing moment before smoking spice is very good, I can recommend it. Whether it is through music, closed eyes or whatever.

On the other hand I think hyperspace/DMT space has much more to give(for me) than meditation/practices, as it strenghtens my core, especially with the strong and physical trips.

You are right when saying "don't worry about my ranting". You can imagine someone new to dmt reading that and thinking "oh shite I need to prepare by meditation", I think it's concerning only some people.

Thanks Tele.

Just do what feels right. There are many ways to center and prepare yourself.

What defines meditation? Sitting lotus and being silent? Laying down? Just being calm? Many people have their own interpretations of meditation, even though there IS a (vague) definition.

Meditation is a lot of things. I think it evolves with the one meditating. Internal silence is what it is for me at the moment. Whether I am laying on my back, sitting on my knees, sitting lotus, or just laying in bed, it is about slowing my heart rate, calming my mind, and becoming an observer. My morning yoga ritual is meditation. Driving is meditation many times. Listening to music, riding my bike, running. Anything that gets my consciousness focused on the here and now. Hell, DMT is meditation.

I think too much. I analyze too much. I get stuck in mind-ruts too much. Meditation is a way for me to calm all of that down, and return to a place of peace if only for a short while. If you guys don't need it, don't do it. We all have developed coping mechanisms. When I'm tired of being that depressed, suicidal, son of a bitch that manages to make everyone who cares about him cry, I do something about it. I do something to "calm" my inner self because I know how I want to live, but life has a way of catching me in these loops.

So as far as my understanding goes, meditation is just one way of bringing yourself to a higher level of consciousness. A way of letting all this mindless third dimensional babble become the insignificance it truly is. but that's just me. I'm learning as I go and basking in the glory of existence as much as I can.

One friend of mine said well: Just relax,( that is the best meditation technique I think)

So in this sense I'm still a meditator

A relaxator.

Wait. Was that a dinosaur?

I do zazen meditation. that's basically walking alone.
