    Re-introduce Yourself!

    Yep been around a while. You know the actual layout hasn't changed that much, which I appreciate. The way social media is designed nowadays, your voice is easily lost in the "like" system where the supposedly best posts float to the top. Which has its advantages and disadvantages of course. I...

    What is Your Favorite Game?

    Mass Effect 2. Love the characters and the gunplay felt really good in that game. Finally played Mass Effect 3 for the first time a couple months ago and...I dunno I played a couple hours and the story and gameplay felt far inferior to 2 which made me more impressed at how great they managed to...

    4 Kinds of Introversion?

    Apparently There Are 4 Kinds of Introversion Came across this article a while back. I think I probably fall under all of those categories to a degree. But the "thinking" or "restrained" subsets are probably the most prominent ones. I have found in conversation hard to describe exactly how many...

I usually don't write notes when reading a book but I liked it so much I bought the kindle and made a dozen...

    I think you CAN fail at meditation

    Having skimmed through that original Lion's Roar article you are referencing to here, I think they're just trying to be encouraging to people and say that "failure" and distractions are a normal part of the process and to not give up too easily when approaching a meditative practice. The other...

    True meditation?

    Interesting. I would have liked to see the article's sources cited so I could explore Hakuin's quotes more. I'm only a little familiar with Soto, and know almost nothing of Rinzai. I think a contemporary orthodox Soto practitioner might still be skeptical of what Hakuin is saying and reply as to...

    What Is Your Religion or Worldview?

    I still hesitate to outright call myself a Hindu, but I'll sometimes say I am just to ease understanding in conversation. My worldview is kind of a strange mishmash of Hinduism, Buddhism and Western occultism/reconstructionist paganism. Although I've seen it as important to dedicate myself to a...
