haha, yeah he's pretty against smoking weed though but each to his own. this vapessina thing was with other people but you aren't allowed to talk to them. you go for walks in the bush then meditate concentrating on the space between your nose and your upper lip.

lot's of people get really stressed out during the first 2 or 3 days because its such a rapid change from the hustle n bustle of life. but if they chose not to throw in the towel and go home, the experience becomes unreal.. for some

GK. Do you find it difficult to live in awareness in daily life? As in, is there a strong conflict between your ego and your desire to be your true self (present, still etc)

Although, it is best not to think of living in this way as a future goal, because it is NOW, i think i have a long way to go until the mental noise subsides enough for me to be content. Are you the same?

I have a practice... I would not use the word difficult.. i would say... umm... fooking IMPOSSIBLE!!! LOL... no just joking.... ahahah

i practice vigilantly...

Getting along with your parents and treating them with the utmost respect is a great practice... a great GAGE to see how you are DOING.. lol.. having a girlfriend or intimate relationship is another great gage... letting people be free and accepting them... NOT judging them,...... not needing to be WRITE.. i mean right.. LOL..

My practie is to SIT every morning and every evening...

do you know about sitting... watching the mind.. some people call it meditating...

yeah that's a good point about relating with other people being a gage. i don't meditate much, when i do, i end lying down and going to sleep LOL but i'm going to do it more it think.

when ever i'm bored or just walking along on my own i always try to be in the now intensely, that is quite hard because so many thoughts seem to attack hahaha.
