No meditation here, just hype! Arsenal Barcelona final coming up, us Gunners are going to do the whole english dark horse thing and win the bloody cup! Firstly, we'll knock our eternal rivals, the spurs from qualifying for champions league, the first chance and probably last haha!!! and it's in Paris - Wenger leading his boys to victory!!! Le Boss and Le Arsenal..
I've got to be strangely lucky - the three teams i'd like to see win it all , all in play offs. Wish Milan had scored, and Shevas goal hadn't been disallowed, penalty shoot outs all the way!
Eitherways we'll bring it to the Stade De France, cos we are the mighty might Gunners.
 A few heads up - if you' havent eer read anything by Pankaj Mishra, get your hands on the Romantics. It's unbelievsble, really earth shatteringly brilliant. Enjoy!!

The Darkness, it lies waiting. Dormant but ever ready...to envelope us all. Embrace it or denounce it, one must pick a path. |

Its a great book, i agree. Even Ginsberg never managed to inspire me to go to the Ghats in Varanasi as much as Mishra's Romantics.
Another great book if you havent read is Moth Smoke by Mohsin Hamid. Its short and a quick read but incredibly moving. Never realized there was such good writing in English coming out of Pakistan.

@Sorceress: You seem to be a really strong meditator. Things not been suitable in life to take it up but I am taking a two month break bfore flying off to US for mah studies and I plan to take some intensive meditation courses in that time. Concentration level is going down in negative
@MellonCollie: Shit, I missed the SF2. Am not getting it anywhere in net to download it too. Do you know anybody who knows a torrent for the same? Will be back in India for the Finals and hope Spurs lose both their matches while Arsenal wins all their three Too bad Arsenal just drew with them in the derby but Henrys goal was classic.

I had a very distinct experience during my meditation session…
After a point my body was only vibrations and my brain matter solid. I suddenly felt like an octopus, - brain in the middle and my limbs were his tendrils. As if its just the being (brain) who decodes the world around us and shows us the illusion of reality. It’s the brains urge at which we want to copulate and its urge for nutrients that we eat, like some one sitting in the brain and pressing buttons to send out signals… like a driver of the car and the car is nothing but the drivers extension - some thing it can leave behind and move to another car
Could not keep it for long but wow what an experience
From a spiritual look this may seem a bit absurd but scientifically a person is declared dead only when he is brain dead. U can put rest of the systems of artificial similations but not the brain. And despite or running all business of our body smoothly any brain anytime does so much like coordination, balance, interpretation, imagination, character sketching, drawing, calculation, metabolism decoding electic signals from all over the body yet we use one a fraction of it.
I suddenly feel I have an alien sitting in my head

hehe nice reading,sometimes we pass our own personal inituitions in life that maken as feel weird,things such as those you wrote helps to realise more clear our purpose in this one life and how the cosmic system and the laws of universe works...
the alien in your head hehe siting in the 1000 lotus petal enjoying receiving each vibe frequency and translating it in you mind...
life is much mysterious sometimes,magic is everywhere as we search for we find more and more...and then magic becames something natural something normal....
wave by wave flow by flow signal by signal...

On a lighter note, today is Arsenal vs. Barcelona match. Put your votes out here so that we can know who support the Gunners and who support the magical Ron
As I see, it will be a scoreline of 3-2 for Barcelona. Yes, Arsenal will let go in 2 goals after 10 dry runs but king Henry and Reyes will put in 3 too
"If you come to Highbury (shit....they are leaving Highbury), you can see Thierry Henry"!

Nobody was posting more which was on topic on this thread. I guess we are now out of ideas to keep this thread awake.
MellonCollie and Sorceress are also not to be seen!

I spend a lotta time nowadays contemplating on the future and how i can get to where i would like to be.... Its funny how i *know* inside everything that being happy is all that matters and not through materialistic things, drugs, relationships and stuff.. but just being happy withing yourself. A clean, pure happiness which does not necessarily have to crowd your lifestyle or hurt anybody else.
Still.. sometimes it seems quite pointless about spending my time thinkin about all this.. its not gettin me good grades.. its not feeding me.. its not helpin me get ahead(or is it?)..
Anyways.. i just wanted to see whether any body else ever got these feelings?

hey karma you are not alone bro,those who have reached such as spiritual state,surely are in a good path close to the holy thing,I mean no care for material ,realise that the most important is to feel safe inside you...the ecstatic feeling of bliss without have any thing special to make you feel happy....
those who have much money and every material value may feel happy much times in their life,but when their death is coming close they see nightmares...those who dont have any material thing to keep them tie in life ,and have found their inner peace before they die,when they see death coming closer they feel happy and ready to die psysical with a happy smile....
when you realise that nothing trully keeps your spirit inside your body you start to liberate from that flesh body cage,and have a peacefull physical death...what material thing are you gonna take as you die?
just read my signature hehe

@Karma: Isnt that a question we are looking towards?
On one side is the materalistic life and on one side is our spiritual being. Try how much to go towards the spirtual, the pull of materalism and doing something good in life always takes you away from it.
I guess the soceity is strcutured in such a way. This has happened more so to me these days when I am planning to leave my flourshing business to come to states for my higher education where I know it has a better future in the longer run but the question keeps being asked to me from my inner self as well as people around - is it worth leaving such a business and going?
Still finding answers
@Oorja: Nope I have not seen that movie but planning to do soon but as far as I know its another one of those movies where a underdog becomes famous by his sheer will. Seen movies like that million times so not that eager to watch but will do soon once I am off work from office!
BTW, Arsenal lost. Shucks!
