    Entirely off-topic, but whenever I see someone saying gosh I am reminded of these Orcs with normal person's voice videos:

    This may or may not be related, in a very round-about way, to how some of the other lemmyngs are saying that you are a paid troll for the imperial West…

    Before Enlightenment - argue about stupid stuff, after enlightenment - argue about stupid stuff.

    (I don't know who said it first but there's this line: "Before Enlightenment - do the laundry, after Enlightenment - do the laundry." or maybe it was the dishes? I don't know, man!)

    Thank you. I looked it up and just so people can look it up, it appears in "Step Three: Focus on Bodily Sensations Related to the Breath" under "A Gradual Four-Step Transition to the Meditation Object" in the chapter "Stage One: Establishing A Practice".

    [The Mind Illuminated] Slipping into the object of attention.

    Sometimes the preparation to the meditation - that is, reminding of the four guidelines, going through the six points, and easing attention from the periphery, sounds, body sensations, breath sensations in totality, and the sensations at the tip of the nose - feels slippery. I can't hold onto the preparation and I find myself already with the breath at the tip of the nose when going through the six points, like the breath is already at the background, or maybe even the preparation is at the background, not sure.

    He is making a reference to an old hospital drama television show called House, where the main protagonist keeps saying "it's never lupus".

    Struggling to reach access concentration.

    About two years ago the first jhana appeared in a session for a few moments. It was like stepping on a high voltage conduit of joy. At the time almost each session had access concentration. Several bad things happened after that period of time and now I am struggling with the lowest of the Elephant Path stages. Just sharing / venting. I don't know how you could help except for reiterating "do what is right for the stage you are in as written in The Mind Illuminated". I have found an accountability partner and we are reading Culadasa's The Mind Illuminated. I am also trying to have a few shorter sessions per day, each 20-30min long. Thank you for reading.

    What is the difference between Samadhi and Samatha?

    They always seemed to me to be in the same neighborhood of meaning. I would love having here different answers from different people because these words seem to be carrying a lot of meaning.

    I went on a retreat mid-March and it all my fear and doubt came stampeding.

    It was based around Culadasa's The Mind Illuninated. I don't know exactly what I want to say, just that I am struggling to get back practicing. I have some background issues concerning mental health.

    I care less about privacy more about free software. For example, privacytools.io is on github, rather than any other free software git host.

    Any recommendations for a virtual server provider, kind of like the smallest Digital Ocean server (and that price range), but one that even Stallman would approve, or at least not vehemently reject?

    My favorite is the Be Like A Dog sketch in which he beautifully describes a certain part of Cynic philosophy.

    I would support anyone's ability, neurotypical or otherwise, to express their opinions without a having a witch hunting rabble demanding their employers fire them.
