hi bloggie,
i have something to say to you..but this will remain a secret okay? never to be leaked out.....oh fucking goddamnit!!!! what is this thing about secrets?? btw this brandy really tastes gooood...almost a sweet taste to it..made of grapes!
now quickly to the point..ok? You see, in the last few days, I've been trying sort of hard to understand the mind...what is this whole crazy stuff all about.. you know!! just seems to me the root cause is it can't remain still! :( :( Of course you do ur meditation and stuff...but in the normal world, it just can't remain still..it HAS TO BE MOVING...continuously...after something...and here comes the interesting part...
when you really don't have anything ..so-called 'interesting'( i guess 'interesting' implies anything that is new and yet comfortable) thing to do, now how does the mind react? lets see..
btw right now i'm kind of having a back-ache but hope the brandy will take care of it..talking of that, let me fill myself a glass...
yup so back to it. ya, so when we don't really have anything 'interesting'... I remember I emphasized in one of my earlier blogs that change...delta...is really what mind wants...thats the main nourishment the mind needs i guess. take anything you know, take pleasure. To me it seems to be something new and yet comfortable..a sort of stimulation which is comfortable to the senses. Instead of 'comfortable', could we use the word 'pleasing' here? But then, what is 'pleasing'? So lets say I taste some really fucking cocoee chocolate..btw, try nutella, its gooooooooooood.. So okay, now we're talking of pleasure as soon as the liquidy soft buttery chocolate hits the tongue..What is it really that the mind is getting? That particular taste of chocolate is being registered by the tongue and sent to your mind(putting it really crudely huh?)
Come on Joe, think hard...what is this really? You know what, for better clarity, I'll just try that again. Coming to grab you nutella...
Oh man I tell you, nutella is soooo orgasmic. Anyway, lets try to think deep over what just happened. The moment I put my chocolate-dipped finger in my mouth, and that liquid hit the rear part of my tongue, I sort of 'registered' an inviting taste. It was like, the mind is instructing me, 'boy this stuff is good, bring on more'. How is the mind sending me the sensation of this particular hazelnut taste? This very unique sensation...Sounds one cool tool mind huh!!!
But lets get to business. The mind liked it. Which made 'me' to like it. So what were the words we used earlier? 'new' and 'comfortable'. So 'comfortable' is this taste..And so new...So different from anything else. But here comes the interesting part..
If I go on licking my chocolate dipped finger over and over and over.....the quality of pleasure derived will kind of dim...and dim....and dim...
Joe guesses its the newness of the experience thats getting fadier with subsequent trials...Every lick is quite comfortable though still...
Quite an idiotic conclusion huh? Well enough for my brandy session tonight. So here comes the conclusion of the night...emphatically... All the mind wants during the course of life is...something 'new' and 'comfortable'.
Note that the definition of 'comfortable' can be pretty controversial here.. Consider gymming...or long office hours working on the project you're so passionate about..We have our own definitions of what qualifies as comfort!
That was quite lame huh? I know.
