My wife Connie after her first lodge was popped open the next day and she did not shut it down for four more days. She had to go to work and try to maintain a normal appearance. She had to ask the spirits to shut it down for her. The other three people in the lodge where I popped open would turn and walk the other way when they saw us coming. The effects for them did not last more then a few hours.

If you want to chase a high then chase a high. Sure meditation can give you a high. What's important is achieving a modality of being that's (eternally) sustainable and not getting distracted from it by the lure of highs.. once you're operating within that modality of being then feel free to indulge as much as you'd like, although you obviously will so that's not saying much. Do I want short-term gain and long-term pain, or short-term pain and long-term gain? And I'll add, in terms of short-term pain, challenge need be actually arduous rather than a stimulating battle only to the extent one fails to realize the right answer. You okay buddy? You are kinda wandering. You are seeming to have the kind of psychological 'break' that occurs with world class chess players and mathematicians sometimes...wherein the mind stays for too long in a deep pattern of logic, of imagined possibilities of cause and effect, and imaginings of countless iterations of logical possibility. Take some time and be at ease my friend, manic logicality is still a kind of mania, and you are of little use to your fellow man if lost in the Maelstrom of Logician Mania, or rambling after getting too deeps into the cups. ´´logic is the greatest enemy of truth´´--sri aurobindo-- thoughts and aphorisms and i guess, that kindo says that ´´thinking is the greatest enemy of being´´ but i am not a filosofer as far as meditation goes, i never liked it very much, and when i found out that one could meditate eyes open in the middle of the hustle-bustle of everyday life i was relieved and delighted...i now,after many years of practice, see the Transcendent eyes open where and whenever i choose. sometimes it gets ´´clouded´´ and that is usually some 1,2,or 3rd chakra energy that needs attention or transforming.

Very cool.......... sdp The only purpose of so called structured meditation practice is to create an introduction of sorts, a kind of easy gateway to meditation, and to aid in one moving more deeply into it..... and the more one does the 'structured' meditation, the easier it is to be in a continuous state of meditation during all (hustle and bustle) activities of life. Meditation is not meant to be a practice, thats only a beginner thing, meditation is a kind of 'elevated' state of being that is intended to be a way of living and interacting with the HAPPENING that is all THIS all the time, in this ever unfolding moment.
