“In Globetrotter, David Albahari explores the consciousness of emigres from the former Yugoslavia, Croatia and Serbia, showing that while abroad, many of us are even more intensely preoccupied with our histories than we were while living in Yugoslavia. His narrative structured out of realistic details and perceptions with self-conscious meditation blending history, civilization and its discontents, and personal experience reaches a density and intensity akin to Krasznahorkai's and Thomas Bernhard's. An intensely idiosyncratic narrative, enjoyable and thoughtful.” SelfConsciousnessMeditationCivilizationPerceptionConsciousDetailsFormerNarrativeThoughtfulRealisticIntensityEnjoyableDiscontentSelf ConsciousPersonal ExperiencesDensitySerbiaYugoslaviaCroatiaGlobetrotters Author:Josip Novakovich
“You might wish to try Kali's mantra. Kali is another celestial being. She offers very fast spiritual progress through intensity. Her mantra is "Kring!" When you chant Kring, chant it very intensely and sharply. Only chant Kring when you are in a high meditation.” TryingMightSpiritualWishMeditationProgressBuddhismOffersIntensityCelestialMantrasSpiritual ProgressKali Author:Frederick Lenz
“Towards the end of your meditation session, or when you feel your meditation is deep, chant "Kring" seven times. Repeat it with sharp intensity, without elongating the syllables.” FeelsEndsMeditationBuddhismSevenRepeatsIntensitySessionMantrasSyllables Author:Frederick Lenz
“The paintings are more about physicality and gesture than meditation. I'd compare it to playing scales on the Cello - each sound (pitch and intensity) depends on the manner in which you hold and apply the bow. The same goes for the gesture of applying paint to a surface.” SoundMeditationPaintingDependsPaintSurfaceScalesCompareIntensityGesturesBowsPhysicality Author:Stephen Beal
“It is more than probable that I am not understood; but I fear, indeed, that it is in no manner possible to convey to the mind of the merely general reader, an adequate idea of that nervous intensity of interest with which, in my case, the powers of meditation (not to speak technically) busied and buried themselves, in the contemplation of even the most ordinary objects of the universe.” MindIdeasUniverseSpeakInterestCasesMeditationObjectsReaderOrdinaryUnderstoodNervousContemplationBuriedIntensityAdequate Book:Tales by Edgar Allan Poe Source: Tales by Edgar Allan Poe
“When you practice Dynamic Meditation for the first time this will be difficult, because we have suppressed the body so much that a suppressed pattern of life has become natural to us. It is not natural! Look at a child: he plays with his body in quite a different way. If he is crying, he is crying intensely. The cry of a child is a beautiful thing to hear, but the cry of an adult is ugly. Even in anger a child is beautiful; he has a total intensity. But when an adult is angry he is ugly; he is not total. And any type of intensity is beautiful.” IfsWayFirstsLooksChildrenDifferentPlayBodyBeautifulDifficultNaturalPracticeMeditationCryTypeAdultsFirst TimeAngerAngryPatternsUglyDifferent WaysIntensityBeautiful ThingsNatural Look Author:Rajneesh
“The mental suffering you create is always some form of non-acceptance, some form of unconscious resistance to what is. On the level of thought, the resistance is some form of judgement. The intensity of the suffering depends on the degree of resistance to the present moment.” ThinkingMindMomentsSpiritualFormSufferingLevelsConsciousnessMeditationAcceptanceDependsDegreesCreatingResistanceJudgementUnconsciousPresent MomentIntensitySpiritual WisdomMentalityResistingCalmingSufferers Author:Eckhart Tolle
