I'd like to know how Curtis does this dive deep for samadhi meditation, I have been doing some shikantaza meditation, but I just get vibbed with the bliss I feel after a little while and then get up and go do something else. The bliss starts after about one minute so its like, ok I'm here now WTF do I do? Bliss gets tiresome after a while I find. Any guidance on that Curtis? -------------------------------------------- On Fri, 5/2/14, Richard J. Williams <pundits...@gmail.com> wrote:

I do it because I enjoy it, and after 20 minutes or so I feel refreshed and experience a clarity that I would possibly miss if I stopped. It's sorta like I've gone back to the first days of TM experience -- 20/20 meditation, done primarily because of its benefits in activity, not done "for itself." Although, to be honest, I often don't get in two sitting meds per day. > Another 180 - after over fifteen years of telling us that meditation is a fruitless effort with zero benefits. Go figure.
