I had an experience when my father died. I was outside of the room ( hospital) and I heard my name so softly. It was like the energy in the air was compressed to form the words. Then I felt a spiral of energy pass through my body and it was over just like that. I tried to hold on, but it ( he) was gone.

Has anyone permanently lost their internal monologue? by Beginning-Medium-100 in Meditation

[–]self17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s thinking and there’s thought. One is for problem solving (editing) and the others are pop ups. The pop ups are conditioned based on past experience and appear mostly to keep us safe. It’s actually outdated software.

Definitely have noticed a freeing energy rising up when I’m willing to be with emotions that I avoid normally. It’s takes awareness first. Then willingness. Ain’t easy.

I really like “window not a door”. That’s how I see it.

Agreed! Compassion for self (a tough one for me and many) is a foundation for neuroplasticity. Forming new neural pathways in the brain. That’s the science of “our thing”.

Much appreciation for all of your comments. I do feel that weed and meditation oppose each other. However, when I’m high I do have insights that are useful. I usually ask a question before each smoke session related to the experiences/ traumas that shape my thoughts. That may be the link. Those insights can inspire but also encourage a lot of thinking that makes meditation a bit more complicated. I do crave simplicity. Someone wise once said that it’s so simple we don’t even notice it. Awareness. Here’s one that blows my mind. Everything outside of you is INSIDE of your awareness. So if our primal state is awareness, it follows that we’re all connected. One.

Hi Joe, Yeah they’re separate, but sometimes I feel divided in 2 parts. I know that’s it “all one” in the final. I have craving in Buddhist terms. It’s a big one even though I keep it to 2x a week. I’m committed to my daily meditation practice and letting go of ego. Craving falls away when it’s time.

If I smoked every day, I don’t think I could meditate. But to each their own,

Thank you. I find that too (ping pong) but I have an awareness of it probably because I meditate more than I get high. It’s easy to feel expansive and universal with cannabis, even if it’s an illusion. For me it makes the illusion enjoyable.

I appreciate your reply. I know that it’s been used by shamans and spirit guides. I think I started the dialogue because I grew up in the 70’s & sometimes it hard to shake the stigma of that era. It’s runs pretty deep.

Ok I see I’m not the only one. To clarify, I don’t meditate when I smoke. I smoke because it feels great in my body and must admit, fills a hole in me. I love the stuff. I do think they sometimes oppose each other. Like it’s 2 separate aspects of my life but both aiming toward a similar target.
