The Four Rupa Jhanas (Material Jhanas):​

1. First Jhana:
   • Factors: Applied thought (vitakka), sustained thought (vicara), rapture (piti), happiness (sukha), and one-pointedness of mind (ekaggata).
   • Experience: The meditator experiences a state of deep concentration where the mind is unified and calm, with feelings of rapture and happiness.
2. Second Jhana:
   • Factors: Rapture, happiness, and one-pointedness of mind.
   • Experience: Applied and sustained thought drop away, leading to a deeper state of concentration and enhanced rapture and happiness.
3. Third Jhana:
   • Factors: Happiness and one-pointedness of mind.
   • Experience: Rapture fades, leaving a more profound sense of happiness and equanimity.
4. Fourth Jhana:
   • Factors: Equanimity (upekkha) and one-pointedness of mind.
   • Experience: Both happiness and sadness are transcended, leading to a state of pure equanimity and highly refined concentration.

The Four Arupa Jhanas (Immaterial Jhanas):​

1. Fifth Jhana:
   • Sphere of Infinite Space: The meditator perceives infinite space, moving beyond the material form.
2. Sixth Jhana:
   • Sphere of Infinite Consciousness: The perception shifts to an awareness of infinite consciousness, surpassing the previous state.
3. Seventh Jhana:
   • Sphere of Nothingness: Consciousness shifts to a state of "nothingness," a more subtle and refined level of awareness.
4. Eighth Jhana:
   • Sphere of Neither Perception Nor Non-Perception: This is a highly subtle state where the meditator experiences a profound, near-complete stillness of consciousness, teetering on the edge of perception.

[POEM] Hafiz - Why Just Ask The Donkey​

"Why Just Ask The Donkey" is a poem by Hafiz, a renowned Persian mystic and poet. Hafiz's poetry often delves into themes of love, spirituality, and the divine, often with a touch of humor and playfulness. Here's a rendition of the poem:

---

Why Just Ask The Donkey

“Why​

Just ask the donkey in me​

To speak to the donkey in you,​

​

When I have so many other beautiful animals​

And brilliant colored birds inside​

That are longing to say something wonderful​

And exciting to your heart?​

​

Let's open all the locked doors upon our eyes​

That keep us from knowing the Intelligence​

That begets love​

And a more lively and satisfying conversation​

With the Friend.​

​

Let's turn loose our golden falcons​

So that they can meet in the sky​

Where our spirits belong--​

Necking like two​

Hot kids.​

​

Let's hold hands and get drunk near the sun​

And sing sweet songs to God​

Until He joins us with a few notes​

From his own sublime lute and drum.​

​

If you have a better idea​

Of how to pass a lonely night​

After your glands may have performed <------------------------------- Go beyond sex & females​

All their little magic​

Then speak up sweethearts, speak up,​

For Hafiz and all the world will listen.​

​

Why just bring your donkey to me​

Asking for stale hay​

And a boring conference with the idiot​

In regards to this precious matter--​

Such a precious matter as love,​

​

When I have so many other divine animals​

And brilliant colored birds inside​

That are all longing​

To so sweetly​

Greet​

You!”​

In this poem, Hafiz uses the metaphor of the donkey to represent the humble and sometimes stubborn part of ourselves that engages in mundane conversations and interactions. However, he encourages looking beyond this, recognizing the myriad of beautiful, vibrant, and wise aspects within us that are eager to connect and communicate on a deeper level. The poem calls for opening up to a higher intelligence and spirituality, which transcends the ordinary and mundane aspects of our daily lives.

Being on here? Calling a family member or friend? Just talking to people helps the mental. That's what I know.

lol talking to people doesn't seem to work. They will just gaslight or criticize you about your problems. Or slowly hide away.

a psychologist will shut up for a while and not judge because he or she is paid to (but it is fake as fuck much like an escort or hooker), and they will just mouth off psych textbook or even NORMTARD garbage.

Hey, I won't gaslight you, dude. You can talk to me if you want.

Well, if you're serious, dude, I'll give you my discord or something. We could voice chat.

Dreaming about beautiful landscapes, huge mountains, fishing etc works for me.

sounds like what the creator of Stardew Valley intended to convey via pixels.

Schopenhauer must be speaking of the same thing:


“Raised up by the power of the mind, we relinquish the ordinary way of considering things, and cease to follow under the guidance of the forms of the principle of sufficient reason merely their relations to one another, whose final goal is always the relation to our own will. Thus we no longer consider the where, the when, the why, and the whither in things, but simply and solely the what. Further, we do not let abstract thought, the concepts of reason, take possession of our consciousness, but, instead of all this, devote the whole power of our mind to perception, sink ourselves completely therein, and let our whole consciousness be filled by the calm contemplation of the natural object actually present, whether it be a landscape, a tree, a rock, a crag, a building, or anything else. We lose ourselves entirely in this object, to use a pregnant expression; in other words, we forget our individuality, our will, and continue to exist only as pure subject, as clear mirror of the object, so that it is as though the object alone existed without anyone to perceive it, and thus we are no longer able to separate the perceiver from the perception, but the two have become one, since the entire consciousness is filled and occupied by a single image of perception. If, therefore, the object has to such an extent passed out of all relation to something outside it, and the subject has passed out of all relation to the will, what is thus known is no longer the individual thing as such, but the Idea, the eternal form, the immediate objectivity of the will at this grade. Thus at the same time, the person who is involved in this perception is no longer an individual, for in such perception the individual has lost himself; he is pure will-less, painless, timeless subject of knowledge.”

Here is the summary of the provided passage in point form:

- **Mind's Power:** Raised by mental strength, we abandon ordinary thinking.
- **Beyond Relations:** Stop focusing on relational aspects (where, when, why, whither) and our own will.
- **Focus on 'What':** Solely concentrate on the essence of things.
- **Perception over Thought:** Avoid abstract reasoning; instead, immerse fully in perception.
- **Complete Immersion:** Fully absorb in observing a natural object (landscape, tree, rock, etc.).
- **Loss of Individuality:** Forget personal identity and will, becoming a pure subject reflecting the object.
- **Unity of Perception:** Perceiver and perception merge into one undivided consciousness.
- **Object and Subject Merge:** Object exists independently; subject is free from will.
- **Perception of Idea:** Recognize the eternal form, the pure objectivity of the will.
- **Transcend Individuality:** Become a timeless, painless, will-less subject of knowledge.

Haven't really read anything by Schopenhauer except the essay "On Women". The paragraph seems too complicated for my puny curry brain but what I understand is that losing your self and observing things (big mountains, landscapes, natural beauty) as they are can lead to happiness.
