R.W. EmersonPain, indolence, sterility, endless ennui have also their lesson for you, if you are great
Or as I wrote in the sirimangalo Forum when I was still in the very middle of it:
Boredom nags, boredom enervates, boredom makes me seek Entertainment and distraction. Boredom is ego's manifold disguises.
I hadn't heard that term zafu before. The zafu apparently somewhat absorbed me: it showed up in my dreams. And I hardly remember my dreams, so this was particuliar.
That was the message then: after two months abstaining from any Antidote against boredom I went back onto my cushion and the boredom dissolved (as much as ego's share of it).
I whish you all well. Be the Christmas time to you neither boring nor taxing. Be it the middle way.
Weitsicht.
