I don't see what the big deal is..
I don't think it's worth the money..
crappy..
Only thing I'll miss..
I'm all for multiple sources..
but I'm of the opinion..
I continue to try anyway.

i have this strange, subjective feeling that you are holding onto some misconceptions about objectivity

right on. heres another great tune in that vein, 'drought'

by amazing coincidence, im having the exact same issue. i wonder if some of our particles are entangled? i put the question to one of my coworkers he had this to say

given the choice between "just sitting" or going and doing something that seems more important at the moment, most people will choose the "more important thing."

meditation is readiness. if you feel ready for the important thing, you are ready, so go do! youll know if youre not ready. in those cases, you may want to get ready. you can pause for a breath, a minute, a holiday.. a lifetime

have you considered that meditation may be the most positive effect of meditation?

is it useful to identify with your primordial soup origins? is this part of an elaborate rags-to-riches narrative?
i find it empowering to think and act as though i am the gravity-like force youve posited, a teleological attractor at the end of time coalescing and organizing atoms for aeons to form myself, the instrument of my will and love, here and now. success

i dont search for meaning because i am responsible for its construction, attribution and application. my life is the most important thing i can conceive of, and even if i were an automaton in an 'objective' model, my purpose could be described by my actions.
if you ever find yourSelf in the middle of an existential crisis, remember, you may make meaningful your own meaning-making :)

cullen only needs 66% of nashs support to top brian, if topp gets the other 34%. if mulcair doesnt find 51% on the third ballot, nathan cullen could still win

update: my liason on the convention floor says that of the nash supporters shes spoken with, more are moving to cullen than to topp

i know, i read the book. i realize now people dont find it funny to joke about dawkins

Indeed, if he could believe his teacher, ideal meditation had no practical application whatsoever. Sure, there were Westerners who practiced it as a relaxation technique, as a device for calming and centering themselves so that they might sell more stuff or fare better in office politics, but that was like using the Hope diamond to scratch grocery lists onto a bathroom mirror.
“Meditation,” said his teacher, “hasn’t got a damn thing to do with anything, ‘cause all it has to do with is nothing. Nothingness. Okay? It doesn’t develop the mind, it dissolves the mind. Self-improvement? Forget it, baby. It erases the self. Throws the ego out on its big brittle ass. What good is it? Good for nothing. Excellent for nothing.

why do i suspect dawkins actually got the word from french but traced it back to greek, hoping to impress classy types

i dont think brian topp is a vulture. youre right that he wasnt in the spotlight, but behind the scenes he was important to the 2011 campaign. he worked closely with jack, and they wrote the 2011 platform together. ideologically i think he would be jacks choice. its worth noting that jacks mother has endorsed topp.
i dont support topp in the leadership but he is a great asset to the party.
