a late night MD2020 fueled rant-a-thon into the ether from the IRL #cbgbomfug

A high energy, high wire, high strung, high anxiety Gibberish Church culminating with a special sermon from guest speaker Jimmy Kimmel!

also want to meditate? It's worth it. You can buy all kinds of books and listens to all kinds of podcasts and watch all kinds of videos and learn all kinds of techniques, but that's just capitalism making a little simple thing complicated.

Meditation isn't even mystical, it's a health conscious decision to repair the ADHD riddled mind from the modern problem of a million things screaming for your attention at once.

That keeps you in constant fight or flight mode. Your stupid screens, calendars, podcasts, alerts, social media, work stuff, personal stuff, dating apps, Netflix, choice paralysis, cars, news, medicine, the whole fucking enchilada is KILLING YOU!

All you do now is scan for danger because there is too much coming at you. That's why you have your anxiety, depression, stress. You are fucking up your brain by trying to distract yourself from the real shit of life with the nonsense of life.

So, the truth about Meditation from a strictly health sense is you shrink your amygdala, so you are not always in fight or flight mode, you gain more grey matter, you boost your neuroplasticity, you strengthen your parasympathetic nervous system, get high off oxytocin, you improve sleep, reduce risk of heart disease and depression, boost your immune system, nourishes your healthy bacteria in your microbiome, and so much more!

That is just the neuro-scientific and health based reasons, which totally avoids any new age or buddhist mumbo jumbo.

However, the biggest reason I talk about meditation, is it always just so happens to be a starter kit for living outside the construct...which if you humanity has any hope people have to start realizing how absurd, fake, nonsensical, stupid, irrational, damaging, cruel, and flawed the construct itself is.

All the things you think are important, are just shit really. Meditation will help you figure that out.

I don't even have to worry about that part. If you meditate, you will start to see all of it clearly. Even the lack of self, which you still think you have, that goes away too.

But first- here's how to meditate the non woo woo style.

Prescription for Meditation (non-woo-woo version)

by naked edmund

sit still

shut the fuck up

stay still

wait

just do that long enough

it will happen

but you have to sit still, shut the fuck up, and wait.

it's harder than it sounds

but once you do it once

magic

In this episode JC cures a broken heart with homemade mead and meamberings at the Lilith Fair!

A night of unmitigated madness as we celebrate the sacrament of an utterly shitty day.

Did you know the Crash Test Dummies had more than one good song? I know, I didn't either. Go check out the Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead right now! I don't know the lyrics but I sing it loud AF anyways just making up words. You should try it out. It's fun, just singing a song you don't know the words to at the top of our lungs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLt60MUv7AU
