so i'm listening to a podcast with an obviously brilliant and quite knowledgeable meditation teacher, but he just said that no matter how wonderful the day's experiences will be, it's dreadful to be roused from sleep because unconsciousness is great, and... no ?? ???? what?

sounds like straightforward typical minding to me 🤔 philosophers do this kind of thing a lot too

the more manic i am the earlier i naturally want to wake up and the more i look forward to all the things i could do while awake so maybe the dude is depressed 🤔

but a meditation guy who knows a bunch of jhanas could never be depressed, what are you talking about
...
idk if he's depressed, maybe he just really likes unconsciousness, whatever makes you happy my guy, but it's just weird to me??????

(although i have done the same many times 😅 at least i check sometimes with polls!)
