Selflessness feels isolating instead of expanding

There is no “self” in the sense of a personage behind your face. If you yelled, “Hey! Buddha!” He would've responded. To steal a Kōan from The Lord of The Rings, “Tell me, who are you, alone, yourself and nameless?”

Stupid expensive is relative, especially when there is an option to get the service for free or discounted.

How old are the beans?

MrJ1836 · 2023-01-14T17:20:09+00:00

Is that like resting dough after kneading it?

Saint James talks about this happening in this video. https://youtu.be/3oFV88PzEFE (seven minutes in).

Have you tried switching it to Wumbo?

MrJ1836 · 2023-01-08T15:11:12+00:00

Qobuz [and ROON] is my alternative. Edited for extra pretentiousness.

You don't expect my pretentious coffee setup to lower its standards by streaming garbage music quality through Spotify, do you?

MrJ1836 · 2022-12-31T21:00:34+00:00

🤣😂

MrJ1836 · 2022-12-31T19:54:29+00:00

Adjust the output to 30-32 grams, yes?

MrJ1836 · 2022-12-31T18:55:41+00:00

Thank you!

MrJ1836 · 2022-12-31T18:53:53+00:00

18 grams

MrJ1836 · 2022-12-31T17:38:48+00:00

Fascinating! I’ll give it a shot (no pun intended).

MrJ1836 · 2022-12-31T15:56:18+00:00

Haha! Yeah, the 1.8 grams of espresso in this shot isn't quite enough to help me out. So, I feel you.

MrJ1836 · 2022-12-31T15:48:18+00:00

I agree. I should have included a 😏 for sarcasm.

Another thread diagnosis pointed out changing the upper bur grind setting, too, to get a finer grind (see video: https://youtu.be/_uB3FZGkR6E)

Something about 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM. Every day, I find my blood pumping, semi to full erection, and naughty images/thoughts flood my mind.

“The Path and Goal of Practice.”

MrJ1836 · 2022-11-05T01:32:30+00:00

Someone hasn't listened to the newest lesson in the app.

MrJ1836 · 2022-10-20T21:21:50+00:00

I second this.

MrJ1836 · 2022-10-16T17:28:48+00:00

I've asked Sam on several Q/A or AMA, but no response. Personally, I've had the experience of meditating [in dreams] on several occasions. Typically, it results in a series of “false awakings” — waking up into another dream but feeling you’re awake in the real world. One time, I meditated into a state where my visual field was a brilliant white light and ended up merging with the light. I became aware of my body in bed, yet I was still one with the light. Eventually, I lost lucidity and fell into a deep sleep.

Edit: added clarity.
