Any system, any method, that teaches you how to meditate is obviously false. One can see why, intellectually, logically, for if you practise something according to a method – however noble, however ancient, however modern, however popular – you are making yourself mechanical; you are doing something over and over again in order to achieve something. In meditation, the end is not different from the means. But the method promises you something; it is a means to an end. If the means is mechanical, then the end is also something brought about by the machine; the mechanical mind says, ‘I’ll get something.’ One has to be completely free from all methods, all systems; that is the beginning of meditation; you are already denying something which is utterly false and meaningless. And there are those who practice ‘awareness’. Can you practise awareness? If you are practising awareness, you are all the time being inattentive. Be aware of inattention; do not practice how to be attentive. If you areaware of your inattention, out of that awareness there is attention; you do not have to practise it.

#Day38 of #100HappyDays / #365HappyDays - finding the actual #CakeFine section within #PocketSgt and discovering the section on #POLACC on the very night someone was involved in one.

Even managed to get it upgraded to an #aggravated offence and so it’s Krispy Kreme doughnuts for us all tomorrow. 🙌🏼

#Day38 – the Late Bloomer
I didn’t like this song at first, but now I do.

Buckle up metalheads, because I am gonna choose:

#Slayer - Angel Of Death

Yes, there was a time when I didn't like this iconic masterpiece. Back when I didn't listen to Metal (except. some Maiden and System Of A Down), I hated it when my metalhead-friends put on Slayer.

Now I love them to death.

Back in the 90s I didn’t like any of the „newer“ rock bands. But they grew on me. Especially Green Day. 😍
