@Cruiser Recent medical research validates that meditation increases the size and activity of key areas of the brain involved in thought and creativity. And it doesn’t require mystical chanting, special incense or prayer bells. Just sitting quietly and copnstantly refocusing on breathing in and out will do. Every time your mind drifts to something the wife said or you forgot to do, just bring it back to your breathing. But the fact that the closer you got to nothingness, the more interesting it became may suggest there is something self limiting in the process. At ssome point, the approaching void becomes so interesting you may be distracted by the sheer interest of it.
@RealEyesRealizeRealLies Great saying from Plato. But we’ve got to find the rock that let out that secret and get it to shut up? :-)
@marinelife & @chyna Great answers! I though of that right after I had asked this question and I wondered how long till someone gave that answer. :-)
@flutherother Exactly.
@RealEyesRealizeRealLies I hope you are right. :-)
@rebbel There is a vast difference between finding nothing and finding nothing that you were initially looking for. When you search for your keys you find all sorts of things, but they unfortunately aren’t your keys. I have the same condition, so I know. :-)
@ucme Ha! We all have our blind spots, don’t we. She probably can’t find the lawn mower. When something falls down our toilet, my wife can’t even find the hand attached to the end of her arm. She needs me to stick mine in there and retrieve the misplaced item.
@Jeruba You are always the master of the well-turned phrase, which is nothing to sneeze at. :-)
@Blondesjon Yeah, I know the feeling, my friend. That’s why I had to ask. I hate being the only exploding head in the crowd.
