Fatness feeling... body growing outwards.
Body limits expanding... 4th Jhana		   Fatness Video (.wmv file about 4MB)

Fatness: A feeling as if the body increases in size, it's borders growing. This one is different from the previous video... this one also was accompanied by a rippling field of view awareness on the left side of vision.

I sat and the mind was constantly nagged with light thoughts that grabbed the attention for seconds at a time. I sat about 20 minutes then stood up and did some walking meditation.   For the next hour I was mindful of everything I was doing, and was in the present moment, not thinking about the past or future.  Sometimes if the mind won't calm after 15 or so minutes. Practice mindfulness as you go about your day. Mind Clutter (download mp3)

 Filmed at top of Wat Tum Sua mountain top temple before the thoughtless state occurred (next entry). Wat tum sua scenery
and comments on meditation
This is my first video about the thoughtless state. Very odd. the thoughtless state video
More about the state I experienced for 6 hours - where there was no thought. Memory was available to call on and use to get through life events. There was no thought really. I could perform actions, but, without thought. Very interesting state... no thought... no emotion... no desire... no satisfaction or attachment to anything - so no dissatisfaction...  Yet, I was able to have conversation at dinner with my friend. Memory still worked and was used in place of reaction and emotions. I remembered how I reacted emotionally to certain things - but there was no emotional reaction at all.  comments on the state (video)
Funny video about being unlinked. I can't remember why I picked up phone. I can't find the number 1 on phone...   Thought stopped and mind unlinked. Could not understand simple objects. This video and audio is kind of funny as I filmed while it was happening. I am quite out of normal functioning.
