@octogorn @1thousandfaces_ this, echopraxia is amazing both vampire-wise and alien-wise. there's also a great short story about the vampire from this book in this anthology (it's a prequel to it)

@danielbrottman if you had to pick 3 favorites, what would they be?
English
sasha chapin's writing on meditation and spirituality is so good that when i finally get my website online and have a "resources" page, there will probably be a whole subsection devoted to his various essays

@IkkyusDen @_virtual_vapor Also what was your vocab level before you started doing this?
English
@IkkyusDen @_virtual_vapor do you mean for ex watching a show you already saw in English (let's say breaking bad), first in french dub with English subs, then with french dub + sub, then just french dub?
English
Sacre bleu, the Netflix method for learning French actually works!

@nosilverv doesn't sigmoid imply that you slow down towards the end?
English
is time to solve a puzzle a sigmoid? like once you lock in on what the image actually is that you're making it gets way faster to lock in the remaining pieces?

@Lunens__ also reminded of breathwork, especially the book "oxygen advantage", and/or for a quick entry, @BreatheLesss blog stuff. im not an expert in any of this stuff tho, just mentioning potentially relevant stuff in case it is actually relevant/helpful
English
@Lunens__ sorry to hear man, hope it gets better :( i have no idea if this is relevant or helpful in any way, but reminded me of this post, maybe it helps

@teddypresent misread, during it I was scared of meditation, tried to be mindless and distract myself, was scared of the present moment itself bc I could feel it ripping away at my ego. It was a messy period where I tried to not look too clearly at anything, and ~no practice
English
@nickcammarata so after it happened and during this sucky period, you were still doing jhana meditation? or switched to something else, like auto happening do-nothing sits, or how did it go/work during the sucky period?
English
@teddypresent super acutely two weeks, broadly a few months until it was pretty well integrated. i was doing jhana until cessation and then stream entry and then i became scared of meditation but it was sort of auto happening, it was a rough few weeks. cessation was def what triggere dit

@algekalipso have you read egan's short story seventh sight? you might really like it if not!
English
How much would you pay to see a color that is genuinely new for you? Never before seen, qualitatively different (not just a specific shade of green or violet, or whatever, more like "blue and yellow at the same time even though we thought that was impossible" sort of thing).

@cxgonzalez Do you have any themes/patterns that you'd like to explore in fiction and just haven't found the right book yet? Maybe I can give some recs if so

I'm doing some more pay-what-you-want calls again if you want help with jhana practice. See reply

Live, guided, interactive jhana+* meditation. My experience includes doing this with students on 20 Jhourney retreats. I have more slots open in August. They're donation-based / pay-what-you-want. Link in bio. *sometimes other soft but powerful psychotech is included
