Your positive experience doesn't discount others' unpleasant one. Through meditation you can reach deep into the unconscious. The safe approach is to start with practices that get you more in touch with the body, that get you to b

Most meditation techniques involve stabilising attention. That is, you can keep your attention on the same stimulus for longer and get deep focus. Another benefit is increased awareness. You become more aware of your thought patterns and th

If you're not familiar with the site that has this blog, it teaches mental models, so it goes through the things you mentioned. I guess the author assumed the readers would be familiar with his work, so he didn't feel the need to

Sure, but that's not something people feel comfortable hearing, judging by your downvotes.

I found useful this series of articles introducing Nix by using it with Haskell: https://github.com/Gabriel439/haskell-nix I hope it helps.

This is the risk of trying to summarize a big conceptual framework in just a few words. It leaves out a lot and its only hope is to entice the reader to explore further and discover that entire conceptual framework. Even that conceptual fra

If you're willing to entertain another recommendation, in a different narrative style, look into Dreams of Light by Andrew Holecek. I've mentioned it so many times in this thread that people will think I get a commission :D But I

What time do you go to bed? I haven't used an alarm in years and I wake up between 5 and 7 am. At that point, I simply can't sleep any longer, even if I lie in bed, so I get up. I usually go to bed between 10 and 11 pm.
