Thread: Something to try when shifting fails
Post: Re: Something to try when shifting fails

I found the post quite interesting as well, and it follows some of the things I've noticed recently. I have found out that when I stare, besides the eyes, I tend to strain these areas as well: the che...

I agree with you there. I'm getting pretty good at classifying new threads: people who ask the "obvious" questions, people who ask thoughtful questions, and people explaining an idea (new or old). It'...

Post: Re: mirrors

I could be wrong, but I think that the purpose of a mirror is to reflect light rays. Due to the reflections of the rays off of the mirror, the light enters your eyes as if the objects in question were...

Not much to report of late. Three steps backward; three steps forward: I don't know exactly how it came about, but staring snuck up behind me and reared its ugly head. By the time I realized, it had b...

A question: How does one "shut down the mind" when it comes to reading? I have had some success with silencing my mind, but I find it extremely difficult when I am reading, writing, or typing.
