Mindful Malfunctions

We all know that feeling when you're watching a movie and you feel the stress and the tension just like the character on the screen. This is your body creating a tension pattern around something that you subconsciously enjoy. There are many things people do to control these states — like chants or meditations — but not all of these are beneficial. None are better or worse than others, but they aren't always everything they are cracked up to be, despite the propaganda. Today we'll explore some things to watch out for. Have a listen. Highlights: Every human life seems to have a different expression of human-ness (2:00) Whatever activity you engage with, however good or bad, it is conditioning your mind and your body to function in a certain way. (7:40) You didn't break your brain, you just taught your body an uncontrolled skill (9:40) If you are training and then the army invades, and you're exhausted, then your training didn't serve you well. (12:05) Do you want an employee that sits down for their lunch break and wakes up 13 days later? You're going to be functional in society when you're in these ecstatic meditative states. (15:35) Meditation is not designed to cope with life. It's a place where something very, very deep within a person can open up in really profound ways and you can grasp the nature of your own existence.
