Optimising attention, insight, concentration, Buddah. Modal confusion, the having mode & being mode, and how they have been hijacked in many ways by the attention economy latterly, and previously and currently by marketers. The episodes also cover; cognitive unison and meditation. The cognitive understanding of the processes as well as the spiritual/ephemeral (bad words, but the best we have). There is also some really good descriptive language on the techniques for mediation from a psychophysiological perspective. Or put another way: if you struggle to understand the mechanics of meditation and the point of it, you will find some understanding here, and in doing so will, if you so wish be able to engage with the process without thinking those immortal words to yourself “What the fuck am I doing.”
These two episodes really need to be seen back-to-back and a few times. There is a great deal of information here. Personally, I need to go back and watch them all over again one after the other. I have had at least three weeks when fitting in time for these videos has been lacking, due to a myriad of reasons.
The reason
for watching these episodes back-to-back is that they are actually easier to
digest as a whole, rather than as two separate entities. And clearly, once you have
a good grasp of the concepts, mechanics and structure, you will be better
prepared for the next episode which covers consciousness.
