thoughtless
So, I've been of the opinion that a little bit of meditation ain't a bad thing. I found my mind wondering to the subject (as i'm trying to read my Russian textbook of course) as to why exactly meditation would be good.
Well, I don't know much about meditation besides what is generally known. That it clears your mind. But why would this be good? So you can live with a clearer mind. But what's so good about that. You need to think about stuff. Sometimes I am told I over-think, but analysing things seems like the logical thing to do. To assess everything from every possible angle.
But it seems to me that clearing you mind lets you simply exist. And when you just exist, life is smoother. I don't mean, you just exist with no desires or wants to do or accomplish things, but there's not so much inner conflict. For example, the apprehension associated with the idea of maybe failing something. Or the procrastination that occurs when we know something is due.
To quote a guru from the monkey's movie HEAD (a masterpiece of motion picture):
'We were speaking of belief; beliefs and conditioning. All belief possibly could be said to be the result of conditioning. Thus, the study of history is simply the study of one system belief system deposing another, and so on and so on and so on... A psychologically tested belief of our time is that the central nervous system, which feeds its impulses directly to the brain, conscious and subconscious, is unable to discern between the real, and the vividly imagined experience. If there is a difference, and most of us believe there is -am I being clear? For to examine these concepts requires tremendous energy and discipline. To experience the now, without preconception or beliefs, to allow the unknown to occur and to occur, requires clarity. And where there is clarity there is no choice. And where there is choice, there is misery. And why should anyone listen to me? Why should I speak, since I know nothing?'
