BASIC MEDITATION INSTRUCTIONS

This ruined city, if you know how to plow it, is actually a city of gold. Your work, therefore, is alchemy. Plow everything into gold. And then, if you learn to see properly, you can transmute this gold into diamonds.

To accomplish this, you have to plow yourself first. Sit down, and teach your mind to lie on the coming and going of your breath. In this way, your inhalation and exhalation will make your awareness golden.

Then, allow yourself to realize that you don't have to do anything to be aware. This is how the mind becomes adamantine.

And finally, realize that everything you perceive around you is this pure awareness. Therefore everything was always pure. This is how you transmute your environment into precious stones.

And when everything is crystal clear, the only thing left to do is just naturally abide there.

Rest the mind in the breath, let it be effortless, and then let it see itself everywhere.

That is all.

Document your dreams, friends.

However cryptic they may seem, carry their memory with you for long enough and they will become the key to understanding many things.

Document them in all the detail you can. Write thorough descriptions of everything you remember. Draw your visions, even if your sketch turns out a mere shadow of what you saw and experienced. Learn about symbology and practice interpreting and contextualizing your dreams regularly. This will help you recall them vividly later on.

Some dreams are mundane, some silly, some disgusting, some unpleasant, even frightful, some deeply beautiful and touching. Do not judge their quality by their appearance.

Imagine having an extra secret experience database that very potently serves to refine your personality.
