meditation as a way to calm trading angsts

[Zuizo]

Quote from Magickian:

Welcome to the desert of the Real - Morpheus

Levels of Reality
Level 0 - Nothingness, Indivisability, The Feild of Potentiality
Level 1 - Consciousness, Energy, Matter.
Level 2 - Hyperreality ( the realm of simulacra and simulations, the mass produced, copies without orginals, signs that refer not to reality but to each other, hyperreality is a self-simulated reality - like in the movie Matrix but without the AI machines ).

Meditation helps you unplug temporarily from hyperreality and connect to reality at level 0. It is not a get happy quick scheme as it is often marketed.

That's right ON!!! You can see beyond the walls of the round room. Nice Magic.

Well, ok, it was WPIX/NY 10:00 am news item, picked up by Comcast. It was typical newsy stuff crammed into a short 5m spot, but what I found interesting was it featured a trader in it, lol.

<a href="http://comcast.feedroom.com/start.jsp?&rf=bm&mp=WMP&wmp=1&rm=1&cpf=true&fr=112103_062355_60d0ebxf8fe24ca64xfbc&rdm=9568559.748172652#">Here is the link</a>, which is a video "feed room". Once there, click "enter" on the top menu, then click the "meditation" image on the lower left. It will play a short 5m video.

best, Ana Maria

I find that on the days where I execute my plan and make money, I experience a feeling of calm and lack angst.

I get the same feeling, especially after I have a couple slices of mushroom pizza and a cold bottle of Heineken

What kind of mushroom pizza you talking about? The kind you
make from mushrooms in a cow field?...

Now you know why people in India believe the cow is sacred...

Now, most people would argue that in discussing meditation and related higher states of consciousness, only Mexican mushrooms are relevant As for plain, boring, old me, I just print out a coupon and call my local PizzaHut
