in an earler post i mentioned how i had experienced several close encounters with death over the course of my life, i recall a few more that i had forgottern about.
Once when i was a kid, always bullied and picked on, i was playing soccer in a park with three friends and the ball went over a fence, i jumped over to get it and while i am looking for it amongst the shrubs these big kids come and start beating up my friends, so i jump over the fence to help my freinds and while i am still in the air, time freezes and everthing happens so slowly now, one of these big kids picks up a rock and hurls it at me, i watch it as it slices through the air, straight towards my head as the rock hits me right in the middle of my forehead and i resume my decent. Some how i find myself laying flat on the grass, i look raise my head and the boys all scream, 'Oh shit, his heads smashed open.' some one else says, 'You can see his brain spilling out.'
Anyway i put my hands to my head and when i pull them away they are covered in blood, as is the grass. The words 'smashed open, brain spilling out' send me into major freak out and i run down the street, i can't recall what happens next but i am in hospital with my dad having stiches.
The next episode happened at school when we were learning how to throw a javilin in pe. One of my classmates threw his javilin at me while i had my bback to him, it skimmed past me, just missing me. I was kinda oblivious to the event but i'm told it was a close shave.

you might be the man to ask;
is there any correlation between the amount of stupid information and the number of unworking pens in this world?
stupid information + unworking pens = a correlation
the truth is,
there is a correlation between these items, it exists in the kind of dirk gently reality, and manisfests in the mundane of our lives, we could even call the concept the Adams Theory.
Well it's like this, a useless piece of information materializes in front of your nose, you think, 'wow, i beter write that down.'
You reach for the nearest pen only to find it won't work, and there's no other pens around.
The information is consigned to memory where chances are it will be lost. Yet your wife/ husband, comes along with The Womans Weekly / Sporting Life Crossword puzzle she has been struggling with all week, she grabs the pen in a flash of enlightenment and to your astonishment it works, as you watch her/him write in the answer to 42 across.
So, is it the pen that does not work? Is it the information that is stupid?
What was it you wanted to write down? the start time of the cricket match or the answer to life, If it was the cricket then perhaps its the wrong question. If it's the answer to Life, well maybe you didn't need to write it down after all.
i dig it. information storage correlates to the value the correlating systems places on it. on a cosmic scale.
also, thoughts create nothing. the brain creates things out of thoughts maybe, but thoughts are no more than fuel for the mundane process of transducing one frequency to another. thoughts produce reality no more than radio waves produce music - they are just reality/music at a different frequency.
now, the prophets of the ages may have taught stuff about thoughts creating reality...but they were wrong.
that is why, after X hundreds of thousands of years we have come to such a point of petty prolonged mass suicide.
if only they had taught that nothing - thoughts, matter, energy, whatever - can be created nor destroyed, only transduced. and then, of the innumerable processes throughout spacetime/cosmos, only a barely significant amount is being transduced by a bunch of semi-intelligent monkeys stuck in a thin film of green round a rock somewhere near the middle of nowhere.
the ineffectivness of meditation is that its used for things more easily acheived by plain old work. its much easier working and bulding the house than spending 10 mins a day for decades visualizing it.
meditation comes into its own as a quantic processor for rearranging the subtle, yet very observable, sub-atomic structure of the 'world'.
why waste it on silly shit.
as for writing down the answers to existence - fuck pens, use a mac.
all or any of this may be found to be incorrect
alternativly all or some of this may be found to be correct.
i kinda aggree with you'r idea on meditation, 10 mins a day, some herbal tea and deepak chorpra is not going to alter reality to much, it may help you relax a bit but generally, if your doing 10 mins of meditation a day, your kinda fucked anyway. No it's best do the meditation, under extreme circumstances, 10 hours a day, solitude, dark room, dmt, some kinda guided process, shatter the old self, bring in the new, shed the skin, invoke randon pan, ganeesh, daffy duck, consult the i ching, maybe offer some sort of sacrifice, nudge nudge, wink wink.
you got it. reality only matters when you can change it
