6+ hours of No thought, no emotions,
no reactions, no desires, no "me"

Filmed at top of Wat Tum Sua mountain top temple before the thoughtless state occurred (next entry).  Wat tum sua scenery and some comments on meditation This is a small sized video display because it's 12 minutes long and if it was a bigger size it would be a 47 MB download which most people wouldn't bother with because too large. I think. If you want a larger one where you can SEE the scenery, ask me and I'll whip it up. I saved the project it would just take another 15 minutes to convert it and get it together. It would take me about 4 hours to upload it with a good internet connection so it won't be a quick process - but could do it at some point.

Climbed up to Wat Tum Sua and attempted to sit. It didn't go well the first time so I just shot some video and photos for a while. There was a storm and from that vantage it was interesting to see different spots around the area getting rained on, others dry and sunny. There was no lightening - so my fears of a repeat of the lightening experience up there were few (see www.aimforawesome.com for my lightening experience article).  I went down a level and sat in a dry spot on a piece of concrete about 12 inches high at the base of a pillar. It was comfortable. The body was very relaxed and at peace. Soon the mind followed. I then had a very strong experience of the state that lasted about an hour there. Instead of attach to it and sit there for hours after about an hour I opened my eyes and stood up and felt the state in that new posture... the state stayed for many hours - I was conscious of every one of the 1,237 steps down the mountain and during the motorbike ride home... more about it on the video
