Yeah. That's it. I was just curious how many of you have ever tried it, or do it regularly, and for what reasons. I do pretty much every night... I can sleep a lot better and operate on much less sleep, and (call me a new-age hippie or whatever you want, I don't give a shit.) I find that it helps with my music. Seriously, I think it has a huge influence on my playing ability and songwriting ability. Also.. if you're going to tell me how stupid it is and that I'm a dumbass, don't waste your time. Heard it a million times. Don't care.

www.crystalinks.com/merkaba.htmlHighly technical approach. To tell the truth, I just read through it and used some of the littler things it mentioned. I intend to go through it in it's entirety one day, however.

This is truly fascinating. Although I doubt the greatness of meditation, I want to believe it can. Therefore, I shall try it at some point. I'm open to new things..
This thread did however remind me of the episode of seinfeld where Kramer sleeps like de vinci, and the woman ends up throwing him off the bridge.

Forrest, meditation comes from Asia, right? China, Vietnam, North Korea, Tibet, and Cambodia are all countries that have meditation as part of their traditions, right? Now, if you look at the state all these nations are in, it seems that no matter how much "inner peace" meditation has brought them, they are still the world's shithole. So I guess if you want to be the human incarnation of North Vietnam, then just keep on meditating.

That's exactly what I am trying to do. Become a third world country. I didn't claim meditation would solve any serious problems. I made no claims, actually. I assume your joking, because your point just sucks and makes no sense. Go ahead and reply. I don't care. I won't respond to it.

Let's think for a second, Forrest. A guy you regularly sit around with making dry, sarcastic jokes with posts a ridiculously stupid argument about something that matters to no one but you, and you feel the need to tell me that my "point sucks." Thank you, Forrest. You have destroyed my faith in people.

No problem. I know you were joking dude. But you probably knew that. This is rather fun, this whole thing where I'm the only oen who doesn't get offended at a thing you say. I assumed your faith in people was already destroyed though, but perhaps I was mistaken.

Forrest, and anyone else interested in meditation, should join my Karate class, we're big into the "making your mind and body very very calm" as my boss Mr Tanaka calls it, and a guy who's an 8th degree black belt in a discipline that requires countless hours of dedication, practice, thought, questioning, and discipline, can't be that wrong about something he knows so much about, so, ask me or Justin Sekarak(those of you in Kodiak anyway). Once I get 'em made up I'll give yas a free guest pass good for one free lesson with Mr. T., at least, I think it's one free lesson with him, if not, it's on free lesson from me, which is actually good, before ya make jokes about my skill as a teacher.

Tina Turner meditated, and it helped her kick her husband's ass. That was pretty cool.

Oh, Asa, it's almost comical how small an understanding of mathematics you possess. Perhaps you should meditate on the congruence of 8 to D.

Yes, "The Road Warrior" and "Army of Darkness" are my two favorite movies. Mel Gibson was awesome in the '80s, most people were.

Andy- while I appreciate your contribution, and would gladly give it a one-free-lesson try out, I prefer my own freeform meditation. I can't come up with a good reason not to check it out, so I will, if (when?) you make those "free guest passes."

the only use for karate is kicking peoples asses, and since andy has never kicked anyones ass his class probably sucks.

Ya see, the thing is Alex, yer wrong, for a couple reasons. 1) If I went to kick somebody's ass, I'd probably kill them cuz I'm that cool. 2) the Judge is my dad's former partner, and my dad is cooler than yer friend, so there. So, I'm right, and yer wrong, go throw yourself down some stairs.
