10 Day Meditation...

Back in Thailand, we headed straight to Bangkok. This time bangkok didn't hit us as hard as the first time with all its busyness all it's tourist madness because we knew what to expect and where to go. Shortly after we arrived we met Dennis and Sarah which is the most random thing ever, because we met them first in Australia on the barry way in the victorian alps which is in the middle of nowhere exactly on the day George's tyre was cut open on the side and we had to fill it with bark to continue and we ran out of food...older blog entry...anyway they passed us on this gravel road and George recognized their faces again on Khao San road even though we just saw them for half a minute in winter hats. So we had a really nice time with them before we went to the meditation course with the public bus north to Phitsanulok. Up in the mountains is this beautiful Vipassana meditation center completely run by volunteers. Everybody got shown the own little room just with a bed and a cupboard men and women in separated dormitory blocks and the noble silence began which means no eye contact, no talk or gestures. The meditation form was invented by Buddha itself and it basically is designed to break the habit pattern of the body to get rid of all the cravings and aversions and, in the end become enlightened. The day started with a bell at 4 in the morning and ended after about 10 to 12 hours of meditation in the lotus position with breaks and really good vegan food 3 times a day. It also brings up all the old sankaras which are the cravings and addictions emotionally or physically and we both had hard time between crying and pain on one hand and 1 hour orgasmic feelings on the other hand. It was a really amazing and revealing experience but basically it is the start of live of meditation with the goal to become the master of your mind, live in the present moment and understand on the experiencing level that everything in the universe is coming and going and there is nothing which is permanent... we can't describe it but it definitely changed our lives and opened up a whole new world for us...try it out!

Now we are back in Bangkok and about to make further plans for Christmas... update coming soon! Hard to decide which direction to go but we don't want to spend it in bangkok!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYBODY FROM THE PUMPKINS!!!!
Have fun in the cold weather, we will be thinking of you, ha ha!

Hello!
You may probably be very curious to know how one can manage to receive high yields on investments.
There is no need to invest much at first.
You may begin earning with a money that usually goes
for daily food, that's 20-100 dollars.
I have been participating in one company's work for several years,
and I'll be glad to let you know my secrets at my blog.

Please visit blog and send me private message to get the info.

P.S. I make 1000-2000 per day now.

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For several years , I make money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my blog to get additional info.

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in big initial investment.
Now, I feel good, I begin take up real income.
It gets down to choose a proper partner who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the profit with me.

You can get interested, if there are such firms? I have to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:

Guys,
some advice needed:
I'm Looking to buy [url=http://www.milesgershon.com/tv-stands.html][b]TV Stands[/b][/url] or TV [url=http://www.milesgershon.com][b]Wall Units[/b][/url] For a house I'mclosing on.
Can you folksgive me a good recommendation of where is the bestdeal on these? I live in Florida and I heard that the big thing about these [url=http://www.milesgershon.com][b]tv stands[/b][/url] is the cost of shipping and installation.
I also found this great article about wiring your entertainment center: http://www.helium.com/items/1577888-how-to-wire-your-home-entertainment-center

Thanks
