March 22, 2022 - Day 276

Meditation Report:

Date: 22 March 2022

Duration: 56 minutes at 10:36 PM

Depth:

In the first 40 minutes of this session, there were delightful experiences. There were moments when I felt as if my attention had arrived. Despite the depth of mind my attention was at, it was able to give itself to meditation. It seems to me that imagery of all kinds are distracting to one’s attention only till a point within the intuitive sphere.

The imagery I witnessed last night was brighter than usual. The images were about people unknown to me. I can never tell if the intuitive perspective is mine or am I being given access to another’s observations. An absence of individual memory and timeline is peculiar to intuitive imagery.

The pace at which the images passed before my attention was slow enough to register the images on to the film of memory. They are uneventful. In fact, I continue to fail at comprehending the significance of intuitive imagery. With the subconscious, one could sense the desire underlying the entertainment unfolding.

Yet, not one intuitive image drew my attention out enough to disrupt meditation, during the first 40 minutes last night. My attention seemed to have found a sweet spot, albeit briefly. As I write this blog in the morning after, I continue feeling that my attention was momentarily freed of the years long meditational task of ignoring mental distractions. That’s a first in a practice lasting more than two decades!

Having granted a glimpse of another depth of mind, I am not sure if I should go on craving for spinal energies to pool in my head. If last night’s meditation was a mini-step headed from the stage of Pratyahara (withdrawing of life energies) to Dharana (being able to concentrate deeply without distractions), I welcome it with open heart, mind and arms. I can withdraw my wish to be drunk on a lit kind of love.

Hobby Report:

There were moments when I caught myself smiling at my work yesterday. It had to do with the one-sided talk running in my head about the work at hand. The talk is with an invisible and silent God. Even though He is invisible, I am going to maintain the God-devotee confidentiality clause and refrain from sharing the one-sided blah.

Here is a completed project from 2019:
