New Social Thread

Holy shit, I'd forgotten about this forum. Was just looking for something new to listen to and dug up an old thread... and lo and behold, some familiar names.

Hi Ozz, Kriggles.
 
They may be more technically proficient, but that has much less value to me than the atmosphere and theatricality of Hawkwind (the way they capture the wonder of the cosmos in their early work is pretty amazing), plus the variety of styles and themes they covered throughout their career.
 
I just started meditating a couple days ago, and the results are already showing. I'm more peaceful, able to think myself out of loops with a lot more ease, and I'm paradoxically more relaxed and more energetic, and more "there" in the world, while still being able to immerse myself in my thoughts.

I do it in three parts, usually lasting about fifteen minutes each. The first part is emotional. I just sit still, close my eyes, and listen to music, focusing on following as much of it as I can so my mind doesn't wander. Eventually, I kind of get trapped inside and when I come out, everything looks different. The second part is sexual. I just sit still, no music on, and think about sexual experiences. The third is intellectual, where I ponder mostly Buddhist ideas.

I usually do one set of it in the morning after waking up or working out, and one at night before sleeping. I haven't done more than one set in a row, but I think I'll try that now.
