The #mind is always ready to go on a trip because it is only in trips that it feels alive. #Meditation simply means sitting silently, doing nothing, not even #thinking and the mind disappears. Because you are not on any trip, the mind is no longer needed.
The #mind is a guide for great journeys. If you are going somewhere, the mind is very happy; in your going somewhere the mind can feel enhanced. But if you are not going anywhere, just sitting #silently, doing nothing, the mind feels very #sad.
It will happen almost always to meditators that when the mind feels sad, it starts creating #boredom for you; that is a strategy of the mind. The mind is saying, "Come on! Let us go somewhere, let us do something. Why are you sitting? Just sitting doing nothing brings boredom!"
It is a #trick of the #mind! Otherwise, just sitting doing nothing will bring you more freshness. That's the #experience of all the #awakened ones but not yours. Sitting silently, doing nothing, spring comes, the grass grows by itself. Nothing has to be done really.
#Life goes on by itself, life flows on by itself. You need not push the river. But in the beginning mind will create #boredom; boredom is the mind's #trick.
The #mind is saying, "Look, if you don't follow me you will feel #bored. If you don't follow me you will feel utterly #meaningless. If you don't follow me you won't have anything to enjoy. Come, come with me and I will take you to great entertainments."
The #mind is always #bribing you by entertainments: put on the #radio, put on the #TV, go to the #movie or at least to the #club, do #gossip but do something.
#Boredom is a #punishment from the mind to you if you are not doing anything. The greatest problem for the #meditator is boredom.

If you can sit absolutely unconcerned about boredom, #undisturbed by the mind, within a few months the boredom will vanish, new #fulfilment will dawn

#Surrender doesn’t depend on the object, it is a quality that you bring into your #being. To whom you surrender is irrelevant.

Any object will do. You can surrender to a tree, you can surrender to a river, you can surrender to anything, your wife, your husband, your guru.
Even through stones, people have attained because it is not a question at all to what you #surrender.

You surrender, and that brings the whole thing, that opens the door. Surrendering, the effort to surrender brings an opening to you.
If you are open to stone, you become open to the whole existence, because it is only a question of opening. How can you be open to a stone, and not open to a tree?

This is a beautiful method, will be very useful for you. For example, if you are feeling very discontented, what to do?

#Patanjali says ponder on the opposite: if you are feeling #discontented, contemplate about #contentment, what is contentment. Bring a #balance.
If your mind is #angry, bring #compassion in, think about compassion; and, immediately, the energy changes. Because they are the same; the opposite is the same energy.

Once you bring it in, it absorbs. #Anger is there: contemplate on compassion
The #opposite is the pole. When you feel #hateful, think of #love. When you feel #desire, think of #desirelessness and the silence that comes in it. Whatsoever the case, bring the opposite in and watch what happens within you.

#Yoga is outgoing energy; #Tantra is energy moving inwards.

In modern psychological terms that, Yoga is #extrovert and Tantra is #introvert.
For those who possess #Masculine psychology i.e. aggressive, violent, extrovert - #Yoga is the path. The path of #Will

For those who possess #Feminine psychology - receptive, passive, non-violent - #Tantra is the path. The path of #Surrender
On the path of #will, #ego is not the concern, the #self is.

On the path of #surrender, even the #self is not the concern.

The #yogi is trying to be #aware and the #bhakta is trying to be totally #lost.

September, 2018. Somewhere in Kano.

The sun's heat radiates off the asphalt, its greyish hue a testament to its blackness, once upon a time. As the keke speeds along, houses and potholes soon give way to a long stretch of untarred road, punctuated by uneven dips and bumps.
Dust accompanies the heat, rising from the ground and tickling our nostrils.

A conversation is going on in Hausa between one occupant of the keke, a man, who sits at the far end on the right, and the driver.

“So the keke is your own?” the man asks.
The driver, a teenager who looks every bit his age, nods and in rapid fire Hausa, says,

“Yes. I paid cash for it. As I am now, I’ve almost complete money to buy one for my younger brother.”

“How old are you?”

“Sixteen years old,” the boy replies. “My brother is fourteen.”

Given our recent conversations about copyright theft, here's a little #Storytime to start off the weekend...
For new followers, #Storytime: in which I live-tweet a story from scratch, for anyone who feels like following it. And it always starts like this:
There is a story the bees used to tell, which makes it hard to disbelieve. #Storytime

I'm convinced that the solution to repairing America is my Creative Centers idea. By investing in maker space facilities & tech shops nationwide, the next generation could meet, work, bond and learn by making and sharing creative efforts of all kinds. We'll all be much happier.
It's not rocket science or magical thinking. Consider your own experience. The happiest and most humanistically kind and generous people I know have creative hobbies and passions.

But most people can't afford the space or tools of creativity. It's a fine goal for government
But we don't talk about ideas because we don't talk about much of anything except the politics of societal decay since Ronald Reagan set fire to the Shining City on the hill. We're being punked by greedy billionaires, religious zealots, slimy grifters, and a complicit media.

1/ People are addicted to themselves.
2/ 'Man stands in his own shadow and wonders why it's dark.' — Zen proverb
3/ As long as your thoughts revolve around yourself you have understood nothing. You might have a lot in years or experience, but what you have lived was of little consequence.

A day later & I'm still having All The Feels about @1a's episode on gifted children--feels which include resentment about the lack of real support I got as a gifted kid & how the fake support you get as a gifted kid trains you to become an underachieving adult w/ no work ethic.
This is what I have been exploring in the adult novel I have secretly been writing along with my YA, and the fact that it is a part of my life I am clearly Not Past and because it has to do with having no work ethic is probably why I haven't been able to finish it.
There are plenty of problems with the education system, and the biggest problems are without a doubt linked to policy and Republicans and charter schools and other garbage things undermining the mission and purpose of public education.
