<<<and look at bubbles, and the stuff on the bottom of the pool.>>>

I wish I could do that. My metabolism won't let me anymore. That's actually the pace at which I most enjoy life; the like-dream-calm state; where the thinking is intuitive. Where one is perceiving, without "thinking" crowding in there, stinking up the place like bus exhaust.

I think, hee hee, that you can also practice "being" in there; awareness; and it's power and effect can compound. Just be aware you're there, and a door opens. Keep it open.

I have to be away from "things" for a long time before that happens now; and it used to happen in a day. Don't even know how long it takes now. It took seven days in primitive Hawaii last time, and that was 6 years ago.

I love "looking". At a valley, a rock, a cliff, quaking aspen leaves, clouds, naked women in penne pens.

I really, really, want to go out again; and find out what my thoughts are. See what I've learned, that is invisible to me now. That's a lot of fun. You maybe don't know if you're learning anything, with all this confusion, and then you find out you are.

Also, to see if my creative thoughts, which tend to rise then, are really, actually, creative. Sometimes smart stuff looks stupid and vice versa.

I know that if you vacuum out my brain, somethings going to appear in there. Nature hates a vacuum in my head. Or perhaps, per physics, they have have potential density. Suck out all the stuff down to the primer, and in no time there's going to be an Intermediate Higgs Vector Boson in there. ooooooploop.

Gar-anteed.

Isn't this fascinating?

Yadda yadda yadda, mr brainiac. Shoulda got some coffee. Maybe I can get MJ to make some.
