    @techgnostic @soyoungsuyoung @arealjim Meditation peeps, what do you all think of talking about meditative attainments in the public forum? e.g. Twitter.

        potential reasons for - as a journal, as breadcrumbs - pique curiosity - antidote for doubt - contribution to a postmodern contemplative/Buddhist commentary - global sanga formation, connecting practitioners started to generalize to talking about contemplative practice generally

        potential reasons against - words alone are not enough - reify the wrong thing - illegible, confusing - trickier to emphasize correctly - language is overloaded - polarizing *when I went further generating this list [I edited down], items got more paranoid

        reasons neither for nor against - twitter as tantra**, I've been using it as exposure therapy and lab for understanding my psychology and motivation, seeing what inhibits flow and being present **using this loosely, not solid on definition

        There are a couple reasons it may be best to keep experiences to oneself. However, I don’t think sharing meditation experience is a uniformly negative thing.

        I think I'm going to just share my meditation experiences more generally. It's an energy and conversation that I can bring to the world with little downside.

        I think we're going to have to start talking about it publicly. Imagine if people talked about gymnastics and completely refused to discuss backflips. The trick is to establish a discourse that takes the purely subjective experience of attainment into account for quality control.

        This tweet made me realize there is opportunity to speak about practice in an ordinary way, to create a base of operation for that discourse. Push-ups and laps b4 backups but not excluding it. <3 Thanks Jim!

        I often think of Ted Berrigan’s admonition to young poets. “If you show your works to jerks, you will get a jerk's response. This may hurt you. It's all right to be hurt, but not if it interferes with the serious business of your being a poet.”
