won't have any of that direction but my
mind is plenty of archives
on a silent meditation retreat tomorrow
it's 11 days 12 days plus our first day
which doesn't really count but
wake up at 4 a.m. every day and lights
out by 9:00 you meditate throughout most
of those times or that breaks but the
key is you can't talk at all and you
can't really you can't bring anything in
there came and bring pencil or a pen
obviously no paper no cell phones all
that stuff so you basically go in there
like a prison my friend calls you the
egodeath prison and there are a lot of
rules that you have to apply and we're
taking a care of the Wardrobe today
can't weigh anything tight nothing fancy
no it like hippie [ __ ] so I'm
thinking about just getting like all
white sweats but up with a list comes
the list
just a list of things are we going to
buy
it's almost like I'm visioning it's kind
of like a DMT trip but like a lot like
extremely stretched out version so it's
like if DMT is like a sprint like a
40-yard dash of the mind this would be
like a marathon very excited but very
nervous I'd be having nightmares about
it actually but like good nightmare like
I don't know what I am scared of
it's just my maybe my suppressed
subconscious desires and memories that
my resurfaced which is why I'm also
excited because what's more entertaining
than spending twelve weeks I mean sorry
twelve days along with your own thoughts
right so we're going to go to a Sports
Authority or digs any of the sport all
sport
apparel stores because I'm looking at
this like a like a sporting event like
an athletic event for the mind gotta get
that buzz
the first time I heard about this
retreat deal was when I read Sam Harris
and waking up and at the time I was like
holy [ __ ] that's something that I want
to do like before I die
but I don't think I could ever do it the
first time that I tried to meditate it
was three years ago right after I met
Elliot Hoss and that's been practicing
from 20 minutes a day target to 30 and
then I started to 45 and then finally
what I could do an hour without moving I
was like maybe I could do this maybe I
could sign up something tells me that
this is like the perfect time of my life
to do this I just feel a sense of a
gravitational pull towards this black
hole that I'm supposed to enter in kind
like a rite of passage so this is my
last workout before I go in and I'm
doing full body because you can't work
out this entire time obviously and
became Iran you can't even do push-ups
and Sam I'm so afraid of losing muscle I
have to work really hard here and see
this makes me realized that it almost
everything that we do as human beings is
to avoid the fundamental truth that we
are nothing you know we can't face the
boy that's inside us so we constantly
try to pile more muscles on top of the
void and to always be glued to our
phones always looking for people to
complete us and you know in there you
can't have any of these things you have
to face your true self
and I read a little bit about the this
technique that we can learn is the same
meditation that Buddha did when he was
sticking onto the tree it basically it's
a variation of mindfulness meditation
and except for the instead of just being
paying attention and being aware of your
breath here you're trying to direct your
awareness throughout every inch square
of your body - by scanning or your
entire experience of structure from head
to toe and during the process breaking
down and dissolving you know every cell
and eventually go into the empty space
of the atoms that make up your body and
to experience the empty space that is
the fundamental root nature of a
realities see physics came up with this
conclusion but just really just very
recently but boo Buddha came to the same
truth from the inside hundreds of years
ago and realized the impermanence of all
things and the emptiness of everything
right up friend then tossed in a blend
of twelve delightful spices and laid
over cajun fries with a biscuit and my
amazing black and red dipping sauce for
just 399 you don't just taste this
flavor honey you can see it with your
own two eyes so the food schedule in the
retreat is that you get only breakfast
and lunch
and you can't anything up to 12 into all
vegetarian diets so this is my last meal
I'm gonna be as much chicken fried
chicken as possible and get little bit
fat so no work so I can start burning
the fat so have the extra layer of
safety net
