I'd love to try that Vipassana thing. But I can't live without my guitar for a day, much less 10 days...

I've been noticing that my visualisations have been sharper recently. Usually when I close my eyes and try to see in my mind, the images are usually a little blurry. But now the pictures are crystal clear. It's like having an upgrade from a CRT to an HDTV in my head.

I was counting my thoughts in todays meditation, and after awhile, I'm able to see the precise moment a thought springs up (I had damn near 400 thoughts, by the way). It's interesting to see that most of my thoughts are assumptions and future projections, and how I think people react to what I do.
