If you go deep enough into yourself....


If you go deep enough

deeper than thought

deeper than feelings and intuition

deeper than you can

you will go out of yourself

and end up in cosmos


and you will see

how well ordered

the universe is

to create life on earth


and you will appreciate

all life on earth

even the mosquitos 

and the snakes


and when you come home

you are more than yourself

The weight of thoughts

Image
The title above relates to a sculpture by Thomas LeRooy:  When we meditate we try to make the thoughts be fewer. Its seems impossible to totally stop them. If we focus of something else, as the breathe or  a mantra we can reduce them. very skilled meditators can do meditate without any focus.  It is said that experienced meditators can reach a higher kind of consciousness that make them loose desires and thoughts for a very long time.  Of course you also can shift from different kind of meditation. If you are beginner is good to start with training concentration. You can do it while walking or eating breakfast too. Don't let the mobile phone or radio disturb you. Here you can learn about different kind of meditations, some of may indicate that time and space, as Kant pointed out, is an illusion (even though an illusion we cant live without). Ruben Laukkonen is looking at meditation in both an scientific and practical way. ( You can find his Doctoral Thesis online): ...

People who had a NDE often start to meditate - but in their own way

Image
 Nowadays you watch a lot of films with people who have had a near-death-experince  At least in the west they all have a similar pattern: They come to a beautiful place and feel unconditional love and so on (but its always hard to describe the sensations with words).  But when they come back to this world they may feel trapped both in the body and in the environment.  There is where mindfulness comes in.  I sometimes silently say to my self while a meditate - I´m (inbreath) perfect (outbreath ) or I´m (in) light (out). This is influenced by the NDE that people have told. There is also another  message from the after-life: All is one.  When I meditate on that theme I use to visualize the Earth and say I´m (in) thankful (out). Then I visualize, in turn, the solarsystem with the planets, the moon and of course the sun, our galaxy and then the whole Universe and send, in turn thankfulness to all of  then. When I try to visualize the Universe a smile a...

the mystery of consciousness

Image
What David Chalmers named "the hard problem" has not been solved: How can the brain produce  consciousness? No one seem to have the answer for that yet. Although consciousness maybe is the phenomena witch we can be most certain of that it exists. The definition of  consciousness here is; the way we experience things. In this definition it's quite obvious that even a bat has  om kind of experience, even if  Thomas Nagel and others mean that we can never imagine the "umwelt" of a bat. But even if the experiences for the bat is different from ours its still  consciousness. But is an ant  conscious - or a plant? We now know that a plant can react to the bite from insect and warn other plants. We know that som flowers can send electric signals to a bee that says, I have a lot of nectar here, come and eat", the bee can answer with another electric signal and when he or she comes both signals fade away. Descartes meant that animals where machi...
