Vipassana Meditation....

My experience on day 9...

Ok, this meditation and truth and all is very nice and dandy, but the real pressing question in my mind is: where is the door? I want to go home!

That did not go very well with Anita, the group "manager" for the women's, what? "Warden", of the Vipassana retreat meditation I amattending in Illinois. I was shown the room where they keep thechains, and even the isolation room... "You don't want to make ascene" she whispered in my ear with a blissfully threatening melody. In case you are wondering, this is just kidding, there are no isolation rooms, or at least not designated as such.

Today is day nine, and I am probably just feeling old bubbles of conditioned behavior as they come up to the surface, the deep mind operation is removing the old dirty puss.

All this talk is, of course, making me sick, my mind is rebeling at the speed of light and the prospect of kissing my boyfriend in NY and then having a real dinner is way too overpowering, just like thet raitor actor-wanna-be in the Movie "The Matrix"says at the point of full betrayal: "give me the juicy stake".

  1. Hi Claudia, it sounds like the Vipassana folks didn't suit your style. You might check-out the NY Shambhala Center for meditation practice. You can see their site at

  2. Hi Bruce, that is a very good point, I actually did go to a Shambhala Dathun and I am planning on going to another one as soon as it is logically possible... you are right, the Vipassana was not so in agreement with me... if only the tapes of the teacher would have been switched off though....
