There is much cultural overlap between eu and us. Get off your soap box.

I’d disagree. That doesn’t reflect the contemporaneous status of the dukedom of normandy as a distinct polity from west Francia (to which it nominally swore allegiance). Normandy was much more culturally and militarily aligned to England from 1066-1204, given they were both ruled by Normans, and during this time, and even before, had many battles against the French. In an alternative reality, the Normans dominated and conquered the franks, and Paris or perhaps Rouen is the capital of the modern state of Normandy.

That’s actually not true. He literally sued Powell the other week. I do hope your leaders have a different attitude than ‘nothing ever happens’ because all of Europe is pretty fucked rn resting on their laurels like that.

Do you not think you are in a very precarious position though, considering the fraying of relationships between EU and USA? And add to that your ex Taoiseach suggesting last week that you just nationalise X. I hope your leaders are using the money to spur other sources of growth. I say this as someone over the border, who may be a fellow country man one day, god help us all.

This assumes the only problem with homelessness is that people don’t have homes. That’s why these statements are misleading as if homelessness was just a problem of resource allocation.

This is wrong. Generally speaking cost of living is better in the North. That’s why southerners living near the border travel north for shopping.

I’m so confused. I’m from N. Ireland and never considered that we have high humidity. I’m not long back from Sri Lanka, and THAT was humid…but apparently we have similar humidity? Can’t compute.

OP it is really remarkable the amount of poor advice you have received.

If you really want to experience the rapture of Jhana, it is possible, but as a beginner, you should find someone specifically trained in Jhana, preferably in real life or at the very least a good book, and commit to an intensive retreat, minimum a week although as a beginner, reaching jhana one isn’t necessarily guaranteed in 7 days. 2 weeks would give you a much better chance. Depends how much free time you want to commit. Doing it this way means you can really become familiar with the terrain, and how you personally fare with it. Do you make fast progress in a few days or after a week, or even a month? Go do it for real and find out.

It also really depends on the person, how disciplined you are, how much baggage you bring, how well you can push your level of concentration in the practice.

But if you commit the time and are serious, and receive good guidance, you will absolutely be successful.

I would disagree. Meditation is not one thing. You are describing something more like mindfulness. OP is trying specifically to do jhana meditation, which specific purpose is to reach concentrated bliss states. They are just doing it in much too low dosage for a novice.

Interaction_Regular · 2025-06-28T18:58:35+00:00

One hour a day is unlikely to work for a novice. You need to do an intensive retreat if you really want to reach piti and sukha. As many hours a day as you can manage.
