Mastering "Reality" Requires Practice
- Timeline Zooming: Psychedelics enable this but with limited control. Other practices that expand consciousness from different time periods enable much more controlled experiences.
- Visualization Manifestation: Internal simulation but external influence is possible. If you can imagine it clearly before your "inner" eye, you can manifest it in the "external" reality.

Life exists in between breaths
In the Sutra of Forty-Two Sections, the Buddha asked his disciples, “How long is one’s life?” One of the monks replied, “A few years.” The next one answered, “A few days!” Another one said, “Less than one day!” Another responded, “Between meals!” Finally, the Buddha said, “Life lasts for the duration of one breath.”

The effect of music on the level of mental concentration and its temporal change
Concentration is one of the most important factor in determining the efficiency of learning. There has not been, however, much systematic research on controlling the level of concentration. We therefore examined the effect of an external factor, namely playing music, on the performance on a task that requires much attention. We compared three conditions: music that the subject likes, music that the subject is not familiar with, and silence. The result showed that listening to music that the subject likes do increase the performance level. Also, we discovered that there exist different temporal patterns in the change of performance. The result also indicated a relationship between the temporal pattern in concentration and the external factor.

We are Living in a Magical Realm - by Corey Hess
We are living in a magical realm. This truly is the land of lotuses. Can we realize that we are always in the palm of the Buddha? Always supported by the universe? No one is left out. No one is insufficient. We’re all living in a mysterious realm.
"At this moment what more need we seek? As the eternal tranquility of Truth reveals itself to us, this very place is the Land of Lotuses and this very body is the body of the Buddha." - from Hakuin Zen Song Of Zazen
