Think You Know How To Meditate?
How to Meditate - no, not just sitting there being quiet. There are other ways, too.
I have a theory on why meditation widens perspective.  Because meditation quietens the mind, it destabilizes the ego, which relies on your mind being a) chaotic and b) unobserved. Anything that destabilizes the ego necessarily widens perspective, because a stabilized ego left alone in the dark to flourish by definition has a narrow perspective that is admittedly unique from person to person but…

Tazercraft mental link but make it a lil bit weird, they’ll have a conversation mostly in their heads but partially out loud which from an outside perspective is just fragments of words and half sentences, they go dead silent for hours at a time only for them to suddenly start shouting out loud, very clearly mid-argument, Pac says something but it comes out of Mike’s mouth, Mike starts speaking with his mouth and finishes speaking with Pac’s, sometimes their thoughts become so tangled that they’re unsure who a thought belongs to so they both express it at the same time like horror movie twins, do you see my vision

today i was telling my therapist how i meditate and they said, i have never heard of someone meditating that way and i said wdym i'm normal!!! they said, you don't time yourself. you don't listen to guided meditation. you don't listen to any ambient noise. you don't listen to bells or chimes. you just sit there and focus on your breath until you fall off your meditation bench?? and i said well, when you put it that way, i do sound like a zen master. and they said, where did you even learn how to do this? I DON'T KNOW, BUDDHIST FAMILY MEMBERS? WHAT DO YOU MEAN. every day i meet medical practitioners who are baffled that i have managed to survive this long

Context: Transporter Accident Species Swap Kathryn. C'mon. Patreon | Ko-fi
Episode where Janeway and Tuvok have their species swapped by an accident or entity and while everyone's figuring out how to undo it they expect Tuvok to be the one acting different but he's generally the same* meanwhile Janeway's newly Vulcan brain is terrorizing her with nightmares and violence 24/7. *He has trouble with his human body more than any emotions. Like, he keeps burning himself on things he'd normally touch without thinking. He can't stay up and stay focused as long as he normally would (two days straight) and he isn't as strong as he was before. Anyway, Janeway's sort of suffering with both. She has telepathic abilities that would be normal for a Vulcan of her age and this along with the intrusive thoughts and overwhelming emotion are...a lot. Tuvok: Have you tried meditating? Janeway: I'll rip your throat out. Sorry. Sorry. I've tried. Tuvok: Allow me to assist you. Janeway and Tuvok have a conversation about how she's not a bad person and Tuvok has to struggle with and control these sorts of intrusive, violent thoughts all the time. What makes someone a bad person? To what extent are someone's thoughts 'them'? What does a 'true self' mean? Basically Tuvok's like "These Human emotions have literally nothing on me" meanwhile Janeway's getting the shit kicked out of her - DAMN! These Vulcan emotions have hands! They also retain their personalities because they're still the same people. Janeway doesn't suddenly become stoic & logical and Tuvok doesn't suddenly become more outgoing. Tuvok also does not immediately turn into 100-year-old dust because it's a star trek episode and certain things are handwaved. In the end Janeway's like "Well that was absolute hell but in some ways it was interesting to get an up close and personal look into the Vulcan mind and I feel closer to my good friend Tuvok!" whereas Tuvok learned that he actually likes rum raisin ice cream. The B plot of this episode is that there's a certain light that keeps flickering in sickbay and everyone keeps passing off the task of fixing it so eventually the doc tries to fix it himself but he ends up causing a black out (which effects the A plot) and at the very end of the episode Harry's like "THERE. It's fixed."

Because Geshela was worrying about my clothes being too thin for winter I bought some wool from Burnley and Trowbridge to make myself a pair of pants.
But this means I need to finish the turquoise pants that have been languishing in time out because I was sick of looking at them after embroidering hundreds of stars on the hem of one leg. I have to finish them because I modified the pattern I am using (graded it up to fit me) and I want to know if those modifications fit right before I start the wool pair using the modified pattern.
Part of me is like "uuuuuugh" and part of me is like "okay but right now I only have two pairs of pants I can wear outside the house so two more pairs of pants is a good thing." Then I think about the fact that I have to actually sew the pants together and I am once again like "uuuugh."
Honestly once I actually start, sewing is fine. But before and after I'm like "sewing is the worst." It is, unfortunately, the only way to obtain the things I want, though. So I will do it but I'm gonna complain the entire time.
I'm him

"In a nondual context, "just sitting" refers to a meditative practice often associated with traditions like Zen Buddhism, particularly shikantaza (in Japanese, it literally means "nothing but sitting"). It is a form of meditation where the practitioner does not focus on any particular object, thought, or goal. Instead, they simply sit and remain aware of the present moment without attaching to thoughts, feelings, or sensations. From a nondual perspective, which emphasizes the fundamental unity of all things and the absence of separation between the self and the world, "just sitting" means resting in pure awareness. The practice helps dissolve the illusion of duality (subject-object, self-other) by allowing the meditator to experience the non-conceptual nature of reality directly. There's no effort to change anything or achieve a state—it's about simply being, without identification with mental or sensory phenomena. In essence, "just sitting" in nonduality is about letting go of the habitual tendency to differentiate and label experiences, aligning with the understanding that everything is interconnected and inseparable. It’s a way to realize the non-separation of mind and reality."
