I'm a Christian, not a Buddhist, but meditation techniques are still very useful. Instead of trying to still what he calls Monkey Mind, though, I find it more useful to just observe what thoughts your mind comes up with, and either discard them for being irrelevant, make a mental note if its something I should do, or think about it if its something meaningful. After spending some time just watching your thoughts bubble up like bubbles in a soda, eventually they run out and you can feel peaceful and calm -- especially since you know you've taken care of your sub-conscious' to-do list.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

My own personal belief is that at some point technological civilizations "ascend" to something higher and unknowable by our monkey minds.

@54:24-This gentleman's comments about Anti-war movement-That it can't simply be ineffectual rallies, it must be fueled by a cohesive knowledge of what is actually happening-not a bunch of war bad peace good wankers, like they show every time in the media we have at our disposal(term used euphamistically for the device that grinds garbage in yer sink!)

And the best way to keep monkeys minds off what is real???? Feed them on what is not.
Infotainment, windbags like Maher and Moore, Angelina's twisted fucking adoptions, Oprah and her fat-skinny/skinny-fat ass helping kids grow corn in college, and any number of fast-food, crappy-meals, like Dying Sawyer with Hackmenhandjob in Iran...etc...etc...ad.Nausem..

Wake the hell up, or stay asleep, shit, or die on the pot, like the king of rock and roll, but do something already...this shit is tired, sick, and dying.
