Retreat Offerings

  🌿 **ゆっくり庵(Yukkuri-An)x LX : A Quiet Monastic Retreat in Rural Kentucky** — A place for slow living, reflection, and gentle spiritual growth — 🏡  About the Place Yukkuri-An (also known as LeoXanthous) is a small monastic-style retreat located in  Hickory, Kentucky , just outside the towns of  Mayfield  and  Paducah . The grounds sit on a quiet  one-acre hilltop , directly across from a peaceful  nature reserve  filled with maples, oaks, dogwoods, creeks, ponds, and open sky. At night, the stars shine with vivid clarity—bright in a way you rarely see anywhere near cities. The nearest major airport is  Nashville (BNA) , about two hours away. This is a place where the world moves slowly. A place where the mind finally has room to breathe. 🌱  The Grounds Yukkuri-An is surrounded by: flat rural land with long horizons quiet agricultural fields small woods with deer, storks, turkeys, and squirrels a near-constant calm open sky for sun...

Sensing an Oneiric/Imagined Object

In the previous post , a conicity was introduced, with its parts described.  In terms of gestalts , you could think of a conicity like this: A 4D positive gestalt of perception is overlayed onto a 4D object in the kono side, shown in the above example image on the left side of the conicity. This makes more definition. The 4D object becomes more definite, because perception or positive gestalt is on one possible 4D object (like a 3D object persisting in time) out of many possible 4D objects. If the 4D object grows or rolls in the conic path, it can gain more 4D cross-sections and become a 5D object perceivable as a 5th Jhanic Mass, as shown in the middle of the conicity in the image above. There are 5D objects, that is, multiple overlapping 4D cross-sections, which are not  perceivable to vision, because there aren't enough 4D cross-sections yet - like a 5D object that is too small to see or sense because it doesn't yet have enough 5D mass.  You may think imagining an obje...

Chapter 7 - LWC Book 3 - The 6th Jhana

Post Under Construction 🚧  The previous Jhana  The Sixth Jh āna  ( viññāṇañcāyatana ): " And at this point it is said: “By completely surmounting the base consisting of boundless space, [aware of] ‘unbounded consciousness’, he enters upon and dwells in the base consisting of boundless consciousness.” In my theory, the Sixth Jhāna  involves: Placeholder text Placeholder text If you remember from  the last chapter , propriovisuality (PV): involved a 2D visual field that was modified by proprioception to make it 3D. Also in last chapter, the concepts of positive gestalts and negative gestalts were introduced. Let's attempt to combine these concepts. If you pretend to feel something in front of you, or in your hand, you are doing a technique known in Buddhism as "kasina". You can imagine feeling various things, but most things you feel will be grouped into categories of phases of matter. For example, you can imagine feeling something wet, a liquid. That's...
