- An [[essay]]. - I [[love]] lights. - #pull [[light]] - I like making them my meditation object, after reaching access concentration through focus on the breath or some other means. - One can always ask oneself: where are the lights around us that can be seen? And look for them in your visual field, either with your eyes open or closed. - Presumably this object has in common with the breath that it can always be perceived if you are conscious. This seems to be my experience, although I wonder how beings who were born blind according to a common definition define light. - My experience after practicing this kind of meditation exercise is that: - Light persists on closing your eyes and looking away. - There are usually more lights than I usually think around me at any given time. - In the modern world this is because there are many electrical sources around at night in urban environments. - But in every case phenomenons like [[reflection]] make it so that single light sources can be seen through many paths, which I perceive as many lights. - This sometimes leads me to think about the nature of [[experience]] and [[entanglement]]. - After some time I return to the [[breath]].
