Re: Help :-/ Feeling discombobulated in social situations, perhaps due to mindfulness
Thanks Kim, DooDoot, Paul!!

If it’s okay I may check in from time to time about how it’s going

Help :-/ Feeling discombobulated in social situations, perhaps due to mindfulness
Hey guys so I’ve been fortunate to deeply engage with Satipatthana meditation, and find that mindfulness, the 5 precepts, metta, and the “feeling” meditation have provided me with quite a bit of psychic resourcefulness to achieve my goals and transform my life in a positive way.

Re: What is the Difference between the Lustful Mind and the Distracted Mind?
Yeah still stuck. Sorry. Here's a hypothetical. You are meditating, and 1.) hear a pleasant thing 2.) smell an unpleasant thing and 3.) touch a neutral thing. To me this can't be lustful mind as the feeling tone from the sound has not arisen to a full emotion. It can't be deluded mind as the neutral...

What is the Difference between the Lustful Mind and the Distracted Mind?
Analayo describes the difference as one of a mind marked by "lust" and one of a mind marked by "restlesness" in Saitipatthana: The Direct Path Ch. 8 , Loc 2676 (Kindle) I'm just wondering, 1. Are these two mind states mutually exclusive? 2. How would you describe the difference b...

Re: Members Bios - please contribute yours
I just visited Zion! Gorgeous. The narrows are so cool.

Good luck.
