meditations -kitchen draw

i want this to be a bucket list of meditations in the broadest sense of the word where my mind is quiet so that my awareness is freed if only momentarily of the the minds chatter. Castenada called it " stopping the world". In some non dualist traditions the question for contemplation is  "who am I" or "What am I" or "what is aware" "Who is the doer?". The answer will not be found in what is read or learned. Where does the answer come from?? Become imitate with it. What becomes intimate with it. Get lost in it? This process is like opening the door and inviting something (who am i?) in with absolutely no idea of what it is that you're inviting in.. It is as simple as refocusing  the input to see it as it always has been. Re-contextualizing  the perception perspective from the small i to the big I

I do not look for beauty
But acknowledge it where I look.

below is a meditation from the beach. It was high tide and the tail end of a storm was making for big waves. I squatted at the waters edge
. these are the questions i asked myself

1.  what do i hear
2. what do i experience
3. who or what is the experiencer
4. what is experienced with no objects of experience?? (makes no sense in a dualistic world)

Here is an the exercise I do.. While I  walk  in the woods I  noticed (acknowledge) the death that is there.This is not meant to be a morbid drill. try it and see how it feels. Is there a shift?

Kintsugi, also known as Kintsukuroi, is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. Wikipedia It is also about finding beauty in the new object after it has been repaired,  Exercise Take a photo find beauty in it. Tear it up. Is there beauty in the parts. Tape it together slowly, piece by piece. After each piece is connected to another ask "is there a new beauty there?""no" is an exceptable answer. A new story? I am a broken piece of pottery, are you?. When I see others acting from brokenness I try to see it as calling for help. Try putting aside the ego,with all its judging apparatus.   I  Move my  attention to the heart and ask is this person hurting? I ask for help   to experience this  perfect being as god does and and allow. This is not about fixing but simply seeing a perfect being. No agendas.  When i find myself reacting try to hit the pause button and  and ask to be shown My issue so that I might be healed. Experience it, there is a part of the divinity in all our experiences. Even in the blackest. It is possible to experience the divinity in every experience. Look for it. Keep looking for it. Ask to be shown. And always allow another the permissions and freedoms that i do myself

I used to view mantra meditation as the repetition of a sound(holy word). But I am beginning to believe that it is more. Its a contemplation of the experience of a sound. And the recognition and investigation of the non-sound(silence) Is it possible to experience  the manifesting of the mantra from the perspective of the silence?

I create the stories and  roles for  you  to play now you stay with  my script or else
I create stories and roles for me to play now  i must stay with my script or else
God creates stories and roles for us to play  now we must stay with his script! or else
About one, when  i feel some one is off  script  then i need to see my story,  and rewrite(let go of) my script.
About two, if i feel  I am  off script  then i need to see my story,  and rewrite my script
About three, if God feel some one is off script  then what would you think he would do?

Compare three to one and two?
