I've been meditating, two nights ago my entire seat of consciousness shifted to the right by like 2 inches, felt like my consciousness was going to be dragged right out of my skull, before snapping right back to default position.

Did you apply a particular method ?

Well, I made the conscious decision not go in to the meditation with any labels. When I go into the meditation with the ideas and labels, my mind wants to commentate on it and remind me. I wanted to not be conscious of that, so I went into the meditation without that. I hope that makes sense. But it was just feeling, hearing, and stillness.

I’m so impressed how someone is able to write such a long book. Like how do you store so much info in your brain that you could write for so long, and something that is somewhat unique so doesn’t come from you purely studying but rather partly your own mind and discoveries. It’s cool. 

Only a profound individual could've done it.

You mean you stopped to react ?

It’s practice; I have a very high university level of French. I could write a hugh hugh book on the French language.

Spirituality is also actually one of the easiest subjects.

I was focusing on feeling sensations throughout the body, including the brain, hearing the sounds around me, and being in a space of a still and relaxed mind without chatter. Your focus is solely on these things, you keep that focus and you have spaces where there are no thoughts and you keep the focus going and you can extend the duration of no-thoughts.

I don't even like the word focus here to describe it. Focus seems like such a strong word, that carries harsh connotations like forcefulness, when what I'm trying to describe is, being completely relaxed, and in tune with your body; its sensations, sounds, the colors in the back of your eyelids, etc. Like you shouldn't be conscious of mind. Rather you need to be conscious of these things as you shift your awareness through these things. At a certain point, you lather into something that has a flow state quality to it. I dunno, someone else can describe it better, I'm not good with articulation.

Yes, but it's like going to a restaurant, the bigger the choice, the worse it is: I prefer an excellent menu to a large menu with an uncertain inferior result; always the simplest and most potent epistemology.

That's a wrong view of it. The book is big because it gives more than a hundred of techniques for you to try, in case most of them doesnt work for you(which it will be the case).

The book is about the Tantra tradition, a tradition that acknowledges the complexity of the human experience, and because of that, it developed a lot of techniques so that humanity could test and try with the aim of awakening to your true nature.

For some people, just sitting and meditating wont do, and thats why there are a lot of methods and also why Tantra is so powerful. Some methods are completely different to just sit meditate and feel your breath.

In this case, the size of the book is precisely why it is good, not the contrary.

No it isnt, if it was easy everyone would be awake. It's actually the most complex and serious subject. Because your skin is actually in the game, while everything else you have no skin in it. Spirituality has a huge can of worms of self-deception.

Ideally you should only write a book about spirituallity if you have known. If not, then keep it to yourself. This sets the bar really high, which is needed for the evolution of consciousness.

I thought to you this morning.

Not to fap lol, but because I had sleep paralysis/lucid dreaming. I do it all the time if I fall asleep in the morning since I met you.

That’s cool

Yes, especially since mine tended to be very heavy, intense and negative. I think it was even reflected on my face, I rewatched the video I made and I died of cringe seeing my energy and my face; it's obviously completely linked.

Stress has major impact yes

I meant the required cognitive intelligence and implication to understand.

I meant tacitly it's not the best paradigm if you want reach "awakening",having higher understanding of reality or simpler well being; At least for me.

It must be a good book.
