Don't think that haven't written anything in my blog recently because
I've run out of topics and ideas - not at all. The matter is that I'm
going to make some changes in my life, and I won't write anything
serious until things got sorted (hopefully it won't take long). Even so, one exception I'll probably
make: I want to comment on Freud's Civilization and Its Discontents.
All the same, for now, to keep the ball rolling and to cheer you up I'm going to give you practical advice. Have you ever found your practice being boring: that sometimes it was boring for you to concentrate on the present? I bet you have, and that was because you did it wrong. If you practise correctly (ie as I recommend 😉👍), you'll never get bored, even when you're staring at a wall!

The trick is that focusing on something, you have to anticipate the
future. It's this anticipation that makes your practice interesting,
intriguing, and spiritual. Spiritual, because eventually you start to
feel that there's some hidden mystery behind all this you're watching
that you must solve.
