A mediation snapshot
May. 19th, 2022 03:53 pmI can only mediate in the morning, right after sleep (see the "deep sleep" section in the right bottom corner). At any other time I just fall asleep right away.
Recently, after some experimentation, I've added the lyrics of Журавли to the final section of the process. Somehow, it helps me imagine "flying", i.e. separating the overall heaviness of the body from the weightlessness of the head.
The song was one of my grandad's favorites.

After listening to the third lecture on statistical mechanics, I've finally figured out why little pigs keep building bigger and bigger brick houses after the big bad wolf is long gone. Now, we need to put a formal model behind it.
Pigs is a gas!

When it was the Nine Hundred and Eighth Night,
...
The boy grew up till he attained the age of twelve,[FN#96] when the King being minded to have him taught the arts and sciences, bade build him a palace amiddlemost the city, wherein were three hundred and threescore rooms, and lodged him therein. Then he assigned him three wise men of the Olema and bade them not be lax in teaching him day and night and look that there was no kind of learning but they instruct him herein, so he might become versed in all knowledge. He also commanded them to sit with him one day in each of the rooms by turn and write on the door thereof that which they had taught him therein of various kinds of lore and report to himself, every seven days, whatso instructions they had imparted to him. So they went in to the Prince and stinted not from educating him day nor night, nor withheld from him aught of that they knew; and presently there appeared in him readiness to receive instruction such as none had shown before him. Every seventh day his governors reported to the King what his son had learnt and mastered.
