“OF COURSE I LOOK RELAXED. I’M A GOD DAMNED STATUE.”
Meditation supposedly helps a lot of people, and that’s great because some of you need serious help. Some of you might even need to attain a “higher level of consciousness” or whatever – and some of you will be clever enough to pay a guru $1500 to learn how to do it. That’s how much one officially sanctioned class in “transcendental meditation” costs. Apparently, being enlightened is a lot like being broke.
Luckily, someone explained the core concept of meditation to me for free. It involves sitting like a stump and thinking about nothing. It takes a lot of practice to do this for a prolonged period of time because your mind will keep trying to think. But don’t let it happen. Just keep thinking about nothing and you will feel great – right up until you come out of your coma and remember all the annoying imbeciles in your life. Then it’s back to meditating for you.
Joe:
I’m here to say meditation works. You just have to practice it for about thirty years, by which time you are seriously out of your gourd!
I tried it again the other night and it didn’t work out. It’s funny how I can’t get the hang of doing nothing.
Time for one minute of seriousness. Meditation is supposed to be active. When you are doing it right, something is happening, and it’s usually associated with a good feeling/experience.
BTW–I don’t worry about not thinking when I meditate. Very often, I get creative inspiration during or directly after meditation.
Okay–now we can go back to goofing around.
I’m interested in figuring it out. I just haven’t been able to do it. But I like what you’re saying.
