What about deep meditation...?

Question

I DIDN'T PUT THIS ON HERE TO ENCOURAGE ANYONE TO DRINK!! Please DON'T !! (except T.R...you're excused)

Answer 1

i was not knowing the facts thanks i will try it ........... wish me luck

Answer 2

Deep meditation helps a lot, i also heard that some drugs as well(in some cases)

But nothing can be more powerful than the total inmersion of deep meditation to understand and open your mind and spirit to the entire universe, there's where all your hidden thoughs and feelings emerge :-)

Drug is artificial meditation with waste of energy in the end.

Meditation is a  natural gift from the macrocosmos that we need to discover by ourselves.

Answer 3

No, actually drinking is known to STOP psychic happenings (the proper word fails me here); many gifted friends I know will have a drink on occassion (mind you, not DRUNK) to dull their senses when they really need a break. Me included.

It's distinctly different than deep meditation. Deep meditation will do exactly the opposite--it'll open you up.

Answer 4

Denie,

You have touched on an interesting angle here.  Many creative types were so notable because they distinguished themselves from their peers.  Many did this because they just perceived things differently than everyone else.  They saw things others didn't or else saw things in a way no one else considered.  Drugs and alcohol, as well as mental illness, can make a person see things as he has never seen them before.  This can create a wellspring of creativity.  However, because he's seeing things he hasn't been trained to deal with, this can also create a situation of personal mental anguish.

Answer 5

Answer 6

No. Deep meditation is a state of lucid clarity. It is not oriented to the sense of "I" or me, at least not in the conventional sense of I or me. And it is not a state in which you act or plan to act. But you may be able to bring back, into normal consciousness, some tiny bit of the sense of great beauty and stillness that you have touched. Well, this is my personal experience.

But getting to such a state usually takes years of work to clear and still one's mind, so most people seem happy to settle for a lesser experience with a few beers or glasses of wine. It may not come very near to the deeper experience, but hey! ..its easy.

Answer 7

Most of the great painters/Artists used to drink Absinthe. I personally don't drink. Meditating to me is controlled calmness not being nearly unconscious...

Answer 10

Actually they did not do their best work while drinking but many did hit the bottle and drugs frequently. I don't know of any great classic musical composition that was composed while under the influence of anything (well maybe if we include Pink Floyd songs as great classical compositions).

While I have no doubt that a few glasses could lower your inhibitions, relax you, and perhaps make your thoughts more flowing even one too many won't allow you to remember your greatest work (of course you will think it brilliant when you do it) but when you sober up enough to read it (if it's even legible) you will wonder what in the h**l you were thinking when the greatest song ever written was just a red streak of crayon across a napkin.
