Coli Homework Assignment: Sit in stillness and solitude for 10 mins to an hour

[Micky Mikey]

When I mean solitude I mean no tv, books,people,cell phone etc.

I find the more I meditate the more gratification I get from just sitting in complete stillness and enjoying being. There are also some tremendous insights I've gotten from sitting in silence. As most of you know if you sit long enough eventually different underlying emotions and realizations will arise. One of the insights I've gotten is the realization of my own impending death and how short/sweet life is. We are only here for a short while and conditioned upon birth with all of this information about ourselves and the 'outside' world. All of it is pretty much a complete fabrication.

I don't want to go on a tangent about all of my insights because it doesn't really matter. However I invite you guys to try it. Sit down for 10 minutes to an hour in complete stillness just 'being' and see what arises. Perhaps you'll figure out a solution to a problem thats been bothering you. Or you will remember something you told yourself you were going to do earlier in the week. Or if you're lucky perhaps you'll have an insight on life and the nature of reality.

Try it and report back

Meditation is everything. I try to tell these brehs when they come with one of those depressed/low self esteem threads

"All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone."

This is very true. There are some legit reasons one can be depressed and have anxiety. If one is extremely disturbed meditation may not be the best route. Supresssed memories and experiences will arise that some people may not be able to handle. However, for most problems meditation is perfect. Most people don't stick with it because they grow frustrated with chaos in their mind and feel they aren't good at it. Ironically that is precisely the reason why they should meditate. The mind needs to be trained and conditioned for clarity.

People like to drown out their mental soundtrack. Plus if they stay ignorant, they don't have to be responsible for their own problems.

I do this every day. Been doing it for years without even realizing I was practicing a form of meditation. I tell people often that it is super peaceful, a great stress reliever, and a great way to truly learn about yourself and connect with the spiritual realm.
