+Notes from Andy
+---------------
+
+Mastering your mind:
+- can you control yourself?
+- can you sit still physically?
+- can you control your mind?
+  - can you concentrate on a simple object and nothing else?
+  - can you have no thoughts?
+    - can you free your mind from remembering the past or future?
+    - can you have no visual images / sounds?
+    - can you stop your inner monologue?
+
+
+How to meditate:
+- these steps are very gradual, not distinct steps:
+- master focusing in the present (1-2 years)
+  - disregard the past and future
+  - focus on noises in the present. can jump around or listen to all.
+  - on failure gently pull back to the present
+  - mastery when you can do this for an hour
+  - can start with shorter sessions
+- master focusing only a single element in the present
+  - for example, your breath
+- master stopping the monologue
+  - stop talking to yourself
+  - stop making comments
+  - stop the chatter
+- master total absorption into that single element
+  - deeper focus into the element
+- Samadhi state
+  - can only experience your own, dont read the wiki
+  - Andy reached this only once, he felt omnipotent
+
+- this becomes an intrinsic skill like talking and walking rather than a motor skill like throwing?
+- if you dont use it you lose it?
+- one you reach Samadhi your mind always meditates
