Better ways of thinking, feeling, and acting—around problems of meaning and meaninglessness; self and society; ethics, purpose, and value.

"Longer periods of meditation have at times led me to feel a loss of identity and left me feeling extremely vulnerable.."
"..almost like an open wound." This is how it's *supposed* to be. It's been separated from its Buddhist philosophical
context, where it's supposed to be a metaphysical exercise, "Shunyata" and so on, being treated like a pill. @Meaningness
Interesting article… and the underlying issues are complex.
Adapting an ascetic, radical monastic transformation practice as stress treatment worked surprisingly well…
but it is unsurprising that sometimes the ego-killing effects that were originally intended do emerge!
indeed, & the poor practitioners have no way to make *meaning* from what's happening. Gets labeled. Interesting
That it can be dangerous, and that most teachers are ill-equipped to help, are importantly right
I recently began meditation. Zen. It's agony, but fascinating. Certainly don't think of it as "relaxation." :-)
Weirdly enough, if you go hardcore, it can eventually become relaxing—once the agony passes. A year maybe!
if you have time, could you let me know what you think of this: http://www.wisdompubs.org/blog/201403/everyone-comes-meditation-practice-wrong-reason-conversation-psychoanalyst-barry-magid ….
Hmm… there’s a lot there. What is the question behind your question? (What about it intrigues or irritates you?)
