Meditation is like a single log of wood. Insight and investigation are one end of the log; calm and concentration are the other end. If you lift up the whole log, both sides come up at once. Which is concentration and which is insight? Just this mind.

there's an instantaneous hyperlink between alcohol and crime .whilst human beings drink too lots they do undesirable issues .quite some human beings lose their self administration and start up getting violent and do different undesirable stuff .in case you at the instant are not careful they're going to "glass" you and minimize you up with broken beer bottles or wine glasses . Ever heard of inebriated driving .try walking once you're stone inebriated .you could trip and knock your head on the floor and die top there instantaneous .It would not merely kill recommendations cells- it kills human beings . in case you want to drink ,merely make confident it fairly is moderately .some human beings can't even remember what they did whilst they have been inebriated . As for the sexual area ,it fairly is merely right to try this as quickly as sober.Ever heard of rape and sexual attack -lower back finished under the effect of alcohol .If sober ,they'd not have finished it . there's a reason they call it the demon's drink or the devil's drink. Drink and be merry ,merely don't be inebriated and be devil -moderation is the substantial

It doesn't define mediation. Investigating and concentrating is work for the mind, meditation is relaxation for the mind. Some use it to replace sleep.

Poorly chosen analogy, as you can lift one end of a log at a time, while the other is still on the ground.

Well, my left half of my brain finds it two dimensional and uninspired; but the right half of my brain finds it deep and meaningful.
