I wanted to learn the runes but never got around to it. Used to meditate a lot, shikantaza Zen style. Would meditate until my knees howled. Ha! But I got away from it. Meditation will mellow you out. But hell I'm mellow enough, now. Maybe too mellow.

All of these methods of seeking for enlightenment or higher consciousness & so on only result in more suffering in the end becuz they never deliver. I think the best way to happiness or, at least, staying calm, come from giving up the search & accepting it

(1) Well, as for me, that seeking for enlightenment did mean more suffering when I wans younger, say, until in my thirties or so, because in that process I really did want to find something to put an end to my suffering. Yes, I desperately wanted that.

(2) Then, as I grew older, I resigned and came to accept that all this seeking is futile. So, even though I do keep on seeking more knowledge and a sort of higher consciousness or something, I just enjoy the process while perfectly aware of the futility of it all.

(3) If all that has any meaning in it, it is enjoyable and better than mere sex or drugs or food. That's the way I am.

I used to go camping for weeks without Wifi. In fact, Wifi didn't exist at the time. Ha! No phone, either. It IS detoxxing. It's just been so long since I've done that. Probably first few days would be like withdrawal from a drug. Might take a week...

There's a place in Pocahontas County, West Virginia where theres no cell signal or Wifi. They have a telescope which listens to outer space. Hence, no Wifi. Pocahontas County's beautiful. Been there. That would be a good place to see how long one can go
