I posted something in my rambles. What’s not here is how combinations like the Theta Gamma State work, but it speaks for itself imo.
There’s a point where all the talking means nothing, because this is experiential not theoretical. People just don’t try, or they give up when it’s not an instant gratification thing. I thik this is art of the point of fb and tictok, to attack our consciousness by undermining our ability to just sit quietly without getting a dopamine hit for five minutes so nobody can meditate any more.
The best thing to do for meditation these days, is to switch off social media and detox from being dopamine addicted for a week.
More about how addiction to dopamine is fucking you up… and you can extrapolate for how this causes would be mages to fail because it stops them from being able to handle meditating in any shape or form…
NOT saying that’s what the OPs issue with meditating is, as he didn’t say, but we see it a lot around here, right up there with “nah, I don’t read books”… from newbie mages, despite 99.9 percent of all the really good stuff being in books.
But maybe this will be helpful, as stress plays into it as well. Stress generates more cortisol which you to seek dopamine even more.
