>>41228913not necessary think about nothing. just observation of your thoughts without focusthe thing is, it is simple, you can do it yourself. no money involved. so yep, easily understandable how anyone can fall for this
>>41228913you got it wrong. not even think. just be nothing. stop all the motion. return to the void.
>sit around and do nothing>gain superpowersThe benefits are undeniable Weird how that works

It is upon the serene and placid surface of the tranquil mind that the visions gathered from the invisible find a representation in the visible world. It is with jealous care we have to guard our mind-plane from all the adverse influences which daily arise in our passage through earth life.

Bondage and LiberationI: BONDAGEUpon Ignorance dependeth karma;Upon karma dependeth consciousness;Upon consciousness depend name and form;Upon name and form depend the six organs of sense;Upon the six organs of sense dependeth contact;Upon contact dependeth sensation;Upon sensation dependeth desire;Upon desire dependeth attachment;Upon attachment dependeth existence;Upon existence dependeth birth;Upon birth depend old age and death, sorrow, lamentation, misery, grief, and despair. Thus doth this entire aggregation of misery arise.II: LIBERATIONBut upon the complete fading out and cessation of Ignorance ceaseth karma;Upon the cessation of karma ceaseth consciousness;Upon the cessation of consciousness cease name and form;Upon the cessation of name and form cease the six organs of sense;Upon the cessation of the six organs of sense ceaseth contact;Upon the cessation of contact ceaseth sensation;Upon the cessation of sensation ceaseth desire;Upon the cessation of desire ceaseth attachment;Upon the cessation of attachment ceaseth existence;Upon the cessation of existence ceaseth birth;Upon the cessation of birth cease old age and death, sorrow, lamentation, misery, grief, and despair. Thus doth this entire aggregation of misery cease.The Buddha, Samyutta Nikāya, xxii. 9016(based upon H. C. Warren’s Translation).

>>41228955>>41230661>The theosophic explanation involving the familiar idea of the “pairs of opposites” would be something as follows. According to the Hindu-Aryan theory, Brahma, that the world might be born, fell asunder into man and wife—became in other words name and form. >The two universal aspects of name and form are what philosophers call the two “modes of consciousness,” one of time, and the other of space. These are the two gates through which ideas enter phenomenal life; the two boxes, as it were, that contain all the toys with which we play. >Everything, were we only keen enough to perceive it, bears the mark of one or the other of them, and may be classified accordingly. In such a classification music is seen to be allied to time, and architecture to space, because music is successive in its mode of manifestation, and in time alone everything would occur successively, one thing following another; while architecture, on the other hand, impresses itself upon the beholder all at once, and in space alone all things would exist simultaneously. >–The Beautiful Necessity, by Claude Bragdonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HORLJvUMs08

>>41230616There are many ways to it but many don’t reach it. You have to throw everything you have at it for years. Find a way…or use a system for it that already exists such as Buddhism. Start by meditating for 10 minutes every day. Just find a peaceful place and breathe normally. Simply observe your breathing, notice your tummy rising and falling. Notice the air being cool as you draw it in and warm as you breathe out. Every time your mind wanders gently bring your attention back to the breathing.

>>41228913Buddhism is a religion for peoples in a further state of development, for races that have become kind, gentle and over-spiritualized (—Europe is not yet ripe for it—): it is a summons that takes them back to peace and cheerfulness, to a careful rationing of the spirit, to a certain hardening of the body. Christianity aims at mastering beasts of prey; its modus operandi is to make them ill—to make feeble is the Christian recipe for taming, for “civilizing.” Buddhism is a religion for the closing, over-wearied stages of civilization.'The Antichrist, F. W. Nietzsche, 1888_Der Buddhismus ist eine Religion für späte Menschen, für gütige, sanfte, übergeistig gewordne Rassen, die zu leicht Schmerz empfinden (—Europa ist noch lange nicht reif für ihn—): er ist eine Rückführung derselben zu Frieden und Heiterkeit, zur Diät im Geistigen, zu einer gewissen Abhärtung im Leiblichen. Das Christentum will über Raubtiere Herr werden; sein Mittel ist, sie krank zu machen,—die Schwächung ist das christliche Rezept zur Zähmung, zur "Zivilisation." Der Buddhismus ist eine Religion für den Schluss und die Müdigkeit der Zivilisation, [...]'Der Antichrist, F. W. Nietzsche, 1888
In my condemnation of Christianity I surely hope I do no injustice to a related religion with an even larger number of believers: I allude to Buddhism. Both are to be reckoned among the nihilistic religions—they are both décadence religions—but they are separated from each other in a very remarkable way. For the fact that he is able to compare them at all the critic of Christianity is indebted to the scholars of India.—Buddhism is a hundred times as realistic as Christianity—it is part of its living heritage that it is able to face problems objectively and coolly; it is the product of long centuries of philosophical speculation. The concept, “god,” was already disposed of before it appeared. Buddhism is the only genuinely positive religion to be encountered in history, and this applies even to its epistemology (which is a strict phenomenalism). It does not speak of a “struggle with sin,” but, yielding to reality, of the “struggle with suffering.” Sharply differentiating itself from Christianity, it puts the self-deception that lies in moral concepts behind it; it is, in my phrase, beyond good and evil.—The two physiological facts upon which it grounds itself and upon which it bestows its chief attention are: first, an excessive sensitiveness to sensation, which manifests itself as a refined susceptibility to pain, and secondly, an extraordinary spirituality, a too protracted concern with concepts and logical procedures, under the influence of which the instinct of personality has yielded to a notion of the “impersonal.” (—Both of these states will be familiar to a few of my readers, the objectivists, by experience, as they are to me).
>>41228913You have all eternity to be dead. Why turn the brain off while you have it?
>>41236699These physiological states produced a depression, and Buddha tried to combat it by hygienic measures. Against it he prescribed a life in the open, a life of travel; moderation in eating and a careful selection of foods; caution in the use of intoxicants; the same caution in arousing any of the passions that foster a bilious habit and heat the blood; finally, no worry, either on one’s own account or on account of others. He encourages ideas that make for either quiet contentment or good cheer—he finds means to combat ideas of other sorts. He understands good, the state of goodness, as something which promotes health. Prayer is not included, and neither is asceticism. There is no categorical imperative nor any disciplines, even within the walls of a monastery (—it is always possible to leave—). These things would have been simply means of increasing the excessive sensitiveness above mentioned. For the same reason he does not advocate any conflict with unbelievers; his teaching is antagonistic to nothing so much as to revenge, aversion, ressentiment (—“enmity never brings an end to enmity”: the moving refrain of all Buddhism....) And in all this he was right, for it is precisely these passions which, in view of his main regiminal purpose, are unhealthful. The mental fatigue that he observes, already plainly displayed in too much “objectivity” (that is, in the individual’s loss of interest in himself, in loss of balance and of “egoism”), he combats by strong efforts to lead even the spiritual interests back to the ego. In Buddha’s teaching egoism is a duty. The “one thing needful,” the question “how can you be delivered from suffering,” regulates and determines the whole spiritual diet. (—Perhaps one will here recall that Athenian who also declared war upon pure “scientificality,” to wit, Socrates, who also elevated egoism to the estate of a morality).The Antichrist, F. W. Nietzsche, 1888
>>41236708german original:Mit meiner Verurteilung des Christentums möchte ich kein Unrecht gegen eine verwandte Religion begangen haben, die der Zahl der Bekenner nach sogar überwiegt: gegen den Buddhismus. Beide gehören als nihilistische Religionen zusammen—sie sind décadence-Religionen—, beide sind von einander in der merkwürdigsten Weise getrennt. Dass man sie jetzt vergleichen kann, dafür ist der Kritiker des Christentums den indischen Gelehrten tief dankbar.— Der Buddhismus ist hundert Mal realistischer als das Christentum,—er hat die Erbschaft des objektiven und kühlen Probleme-Stellens im Leibe, er kommt nach einer Hunderte von Jahren dauernden philosophischen Bewegung; der Begriff "Gott" ist bereits abgetan, als er kommt. Der Buddhismus ist die einzige eigentlich positivistische Religion, die uns die Geschichte zeigt, auch noch in seiner Erkenntnistheorie (einem strengen Phänomenalismus—), er sagt nicht mehr "Kampf gegen die Sünde," sondern, ganz der Wirklichkeit das Recht gebend, "Kampf gegen das Leiden." Er hat—dies unterscheidet ihn tief vom Christentum—die Selbst-Betrügerei der Moral-Begriffe bereits hinter sich,—er steht, in meiner Sprache geredet, jenseits von Gut und Böse.— Die zwei physiologischen Tatsachen, auf denen er ruht und die er ins Auge fasst, sind: einmal eine übergrosse Reizbarkeit der Sensibilität, welche sich als raffinierte Schmerzfähigkeit ausdrückt, sodann eine Übergeistigung, ein allzulanges Leben in Begriffen und logischen Prozeduren, unter dem der Person-Instinkt zum Vorteil des "Unpersönlichen" Schaden genommen hat (—beides Zustände, die wenigstens einige meiner Leser, die "Objektiven," gleich mir selbst, aus Erfahrung kennen werden).
>>41236718Auf Grund dieser physiologischen Bedingungen ist eine Depression entstanden: gegen diese geht Buddha hygienisch vor. Er wendet dagegen das Leben im Freien an, das Wanderleben; die Mässigung und die Wahl in der Kost; die Vorsicht gegen alle Spirituosa; die Vorsicht insgleichen gegen alle Affekte, die Galle machen, die das Blut erhitzen; keine Sorge, weder für sich, noch für andre. Er fordert Vorstellungen, die entweder Ruhe geben oder erheitern—er erfindet Mittel, die anderen sich abzugewöhnen. Er versteht die Güte, das Gütigsein als gesundheit-fördernd. Gebet ist ausgeschlossen, ebenso wie die Askese; kein kategorischer Imperativ, kein Zwang überhaupt, selbst nicht innerhalb der Klostergemeinschaft (—man kann wieder hinaus—). Das alles wären Mittel, um jene übergrosse Reizbarkeit zu verstärken. Eben darum fordert er auch keinen Kampf gegen Andersdenkende; seine Lehre wehrt sich gegen nichts mehr als gegen das Gefühl der Rache, der Abneigung, des ressentiment (—"nicht durch Feindschaft kommt Feindschaft zu Ende": der rührende Refrain des ganzen Buddhismus ...). [Hermann Oldenberg, Buddha: sein Leben, seine Lehre, seine Gemeinde. Berlin: Hertz, 1881:302.] Und das mit Recht: gerade diese Affekte wären vollkommen ungesund in Hinsicht auf die diätetische Hauptabsicht. Die geistige Ermüdung, die er vorfindet und die sich in einer allzu grossen "Objektivität" (das heisst Schwächung des Individual-Interesses, Verlust an Schwergewicht, an "Egoismus") ausdrückt, bekämpft [er] mit einer strengen Zurückführung auch der geistigsten Interessen auf die Person. In der Lehre Buddhas wird der Egoismus Pflicht: das "Eins ist not," das "wie kommst du vom Leiden los" reguliert und begrenzt die ganze geistige Diät (—man darf sich vielleicht an jenen Athener erinnern, der der reinen "Wissenschaftlichkeit" gleichfalls den Krieg machte, an Sokrates, der den Personal-Egoismus auch im Reich der Probleme zur Moral erhob).Der Antichrist, Nietzsche
>>41228913Naw OP has a point. Sit and clear your thoughts has to be the most UNAPPEALING way to get someone to meditate. Maybe that was the point. If you have someone actually benefits like observe your thoughts, talk to your thoughts, talk to your body, tell your body to relax, tell your body to stop fidgeting. That’s how you empty the mind, by easing your anxiety and fears, you can’t just ignore them. Once you’re empty, you can start to gain some cosmic intelligence, like being in the zone. I started meditating unintentionally, while laying in bed. Not because I listened to the npc’s telling me to
