If you are not spending at least some time in a meditative state very frequently, then you are only a would be philosopher of, or a VOYEUR of the subject matter discussed here.
Voyeurism is not a full way to live life.

Voyeurism is not a full way to live life. The same could be said for those who are overly focused on disappearing into meditative states and largely uninterested in noticing their own self delusion. |

If meditation is seen as as disappearing or escaping, then the observer is seeing through their own limited understanding of meditation..

My post was not for the observed in this situation, it was for the "fake Azz crooks" in hip vernaculure....the peepers and philosophers endlessly debating an event they are not taking part in...the arm chair Quarterbacks....the back seat drivers. |

Hi steve, While to a certain degree, I understand your sentiments there, I'm also thinking that you have an itchy trigger finger. |

The only one of those that I multivibrate with is the philosopher. Maybe scientist, though you didn't list it. The rest of them seem to at least have a notion that they have had a glimpse, even if it was brief. All I got is speculation and logic (and not a whole lot of mastery of either of those). And I do spend time in meditation. |

He described it as taking a vacation, rest being the result, which was nice. Seems like meditation can mean different things. For me it's always been mindfulness -- paying attention to physical sensations. Can't say it's ever an escape/vacation, though rest does result usually. |

If meditation is seen as as disappearing or escaping, then the observer is seeing through their own limited understanding of meditation.. The concept/label "meditation" is a hopelessly large tent encompassing a set of behaviours, perspectives, thoughts that are probably almost as diverse as personalities are. Just today I heard an intellectual use 'meditating' to refer to 'reflecting and analyzing.' Disappearing and escaping could very well be a form of meditation and does not necessarily indicate a limited understanding of meditation. It's like if someone calls pineapple fruit and you say that if they think fruit is pineapple then they demonstrate their limited understanding of fruit. Not necessarily so. They're just saying that pineapple is fruit, they're not saying that apples aren't fruit or even that tomatoes aren't fruit. |
