spirituality

I am a neuroscientist phd who trained in buddhist chaplaincy and coached 400+ folks on meditation habits and early entrepreneurship mindset

One thing I've noticed: practitioners tend to have an "ideal" version of themselves as meditators, like the "ghost" we race against in Mario Kart time trial...(con't)

...If we recognize we are doing that, then we get closer to directly experiencing "what-is" while meditating

There is a Zen koan that says if you meet the Buddha in the streets, kill him!

It is a similar analogy, the "ghost" perfect meditator...that's not what's happening now. You are. Imperfectly perfect.

interesting, i always see the 'ghost' me doing something else that leads to a forking of my current timeline
