Ok, sorry I'm lagging. "Will" makes sense in terms of the reading. Conductor of spirits.
where does compassion fit into this whole thing?
What is the origin of the word "okidanokh"? I have trouble understanding it.
Exactly, you get into a complete stupor - that just shows that he is indeed right. You get this strange blank feeling when you ask yourself what is this glass, pen, window?
We can only answer a question "What is this thing used for". Functions we ca…

Hmm... OK, I want education because I don't have enough, and it's never enough. So I'm suffering all my life, and then it's not "proper livelihood"?
And, I see the reason for the post: you finally read the "forward" to "Deaper Man"??
Awesome post. I wonder how physical discipline brings pleasure. Perhaps I don't fully understand what physical discipline and "proper livelihood" mean... Does it mean no blue ice cream?

- The comments are even more interesting - so many different people, some are very funny:
"
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this article. Thank you. In part because the experience you describe is so much like my own that it took me back. I approached such things similarly when I did a 10-day retreat in India in ‘99 - was quite judgmental, uncomfortable, occasionally bored, and sometimes even downright scared. But then, for me as well, about 5 days into the retreat, I had an experience, which I also won’t describe here, but it resulted in me laughing uncontrollably for 5 days straight. I had pinch marks up and down my arm from my failed attempts to curtail it. I woke up - I was laughing, I meditated - laughing, ate - laughing, and so on. It even got so bad that I went and talked to a couple of the monks to see if they could explain what was happening. Needless to say, they weren’t at all concerned. In any case, concurrently I remember a feeling of sincere love and appreciation for everything and everyone around me - like I’ve never experienced before or since. I was a completely integrated being. I miss that. Thanks for the reminder.
