Meditation is a thing that you do with your attention. When you pay attention or concentrate or get distracted, that’s you doing a thing with your attention. And that’s obviously important stuff in your life and the world. Meditation takes it further.

We basically have 2 kinds of meditation.

  1. Concentration meditation, which is plain ol concentration taken to a higher level.

  2. Zen meditation (aka shikantaza), which is another thing to do with your attention, kindof a left turn from concentration and is a bit esoteric.

So there you go.

    I am also a big David Lynch fan :)

    I have not done TM in any serious way. I basically fumbled around and experimented until it made sense to me. Forging my own path and such.

    I did go to a TM thing once a long time ago. They were nice people.

    As for pushing positive social waves into the surrounding community, yes, I have some small experience with that. It’s a thing I study and experiment with some.
