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 |
