It is impossible for me to convey the pleasure of meditation sans self-interruptions. I wish for all to experience the uninterruptedness mentioned in Wikipedia’s page for the seventh step of ‘Dhyana’ in Patanjali’s 8 limbed Yoga.

I didn’t know that such uninterruptedness didn’t come until one’s practice had reached the depths of the deep sleeping mind. I had read about both but I didn’t know they coincided.

The deep sleeping mind doesn’t dream because it doesn’t have enough movement to it. A certain degree of restlessness is required for imagery to be formed. It is such restlessness that our earthly desires take advantage of when weaving us dream images. However, our deep sleeping mind doesn’t have enough movement to it.

Even at its shallow end, the deep sleeping mind provides the attention with its hard earned seat. Attention sitting in a relatively motionless mind space brings about uninterrupted meditation. The attention doesn’t detach itself from the technique one has committed to in the moment.

That is unlike making repeated efforts to detach the attention from a variety of distractions. Years back I had accepted that the meditational task I was here to perform was to gently detach my attention from its favourite distractions. And now I am simply sailing through meditations without a distraction related fight.

The seamless silence of the deep sleeping mind is wonderful. It is a good thing that our attention is allowed into our deep sleeping mind. Advancing in meditation won’t be possible without being attentive while tucked in the deep sleeping mind. It is a really good thing.

Today, Romano went to one of his local coffee shops and saw them selling an American peppermint mocha. The shame!

There’s always a guard at the door if you ask me. He watches the visitors so carefully, I wonder what secrets does he unravel in them. When I pass through, I’m questioning if he could see what I hide underneath. Can he truly judge the intentions of my actions if I stand still for a minute longer? Too Far fetched, I think. But when I walk inside and look back, he’s watching. And I walk away thinking to myself, he knows.

Ölmeyi dilediğim geceler oluyor hâlâ, sırtımı zemine dayamışken ve tavanı izliyorken Tanrı'ya beni buradan almasını istediğimi anlatıyorum. Sonra bazı sabahlarım oluyor, hayatın güzel olduğundan bahsediyorum, ciğerime dolan rüzgâr beni inandırmaya yetiyor.

Hâlâ bu geceler ve bu sabahlar arasında sendeliyorum. Günler geçiyor, zaman geçiyor, her şey değişiyor, o kadar çok değişiyor ki ben buraya nereden geldim diye soruyorum. Sendelemek hiç geçmiyor ama, o geceler ve sabahlar arasında, durmadan sendelemek.

Hayat sendelemek oluyor artık. Geriye baktığımda hatırladığım tek şey de sendelemek, durmadan hem de.
