2 meditation questions

[andyjohnsonman]

1. What is the nature of meditation and memories? I seem to be able to access memories I've completely forgotten about and they are often pleasant ones so they cant be suppressed as suppressed ones are traumas. How can this be?

 

2. I had 2 grandads who died in different ways. One was very mindful, he did lots of paintings and had calming hobbies which put him into a meditative state, his death was very fast. My other grandpa had quite a big ego and suffered a lot in the hospital before passing away. Is their a link between being able to let go of the ego and surrendering and death? People who can let go could just decide they want to end their suffering and leave their physical body?

Medi means middle, meditation is the middle way. Unconditional love inwardly, creation for togetherness outwardly. To be ‘in the middle’, is the unification of what appeared as two. Memories are a trick of the light, arising within you, same as all creation. The richness memory ‘brings’ could be said to be of the brilliance of yourself, and your limitless-ness. For one to assume “life” is other than that of human & memory, is to assume there would be a physical reality remaining upon one’s ‘death’.Seeing through memory, one is imortal, invincible, unstoppable in awareness of the falsity of immovable objects. Depicted perfectly imo, in the seen in the matrix in which new see’s the hallway walls for the matrix they always were, “defending himself” slowly, casually, enjoyable, with one arm (and that is saying too much, as you yourself created the word & meaning of meditation, due to the fact there is no “middle”)

Imo, this is a fantastic conveyance of the feeling of Memory-less-ness. There’s a certain not-giving-a-fuck-ness vibe in that keyboard patch & riff in regard to the inevitability of departure from the fact others will continue to believe you are their memories of you. Life indeed can always “start up new”. In truth it can do nothing to the exception, believe in memories as we might, in our own suffering & peril. Memory is the exact same as the light deemed “perception”, which is not “in front of you” ...”now”.

In short, notice you’re aware of those memories. Thus they are of you, and a second order of your purity, the tongue which can never be tasted. You’re creating them via vibrational proximity of now. Thoughts attract, the mind is fooled by a distinction between a “thought” and a “memory”. Notice, you are the creator of any and all distinction. You’re in control, even when you believe you are not, you’re the one believing you are not, a controlling of the narrative of “control”.  Trust in and inspect, the discord. It never lies. The mind is a prophetic liar. Hence “ox”, rather than “mouse”, or “bunny”. It takes time, until time is as transparent as the memories of it.

The link is that there is already, not-two. 

There’s a whole album about where “you’re at” (imo). 

“Can you feel pain inside? Can you love? Can you cry? I wanna run through your wicked garden, heard that's the place to find you. But I'm alive, o alive now, out of the dark that blinds you”.

If you dig that, be sure to contemplate “sex type thing”, a mind bending play on advocacy of rape, in an courageous effort to untwist our paradox and see through it, to heal from our place of non-denial of self, in understanding, compassion for all others without exception.
