Spam or not I would say Enjoy Life when you live life and when you meditate then meditate. If song comes in the mind note the heck out of it; imagining, feeling, excitement, preassure in the body, feeling skin going all goosebumps, imagining Freddy Mercury's face, energy surging through the body and head, frequency in the ears ... music, its another object of meditation.
I love Queen! Such an amazing band! (oh jeez, Im now having goosebumps people

I don't get the references to picospan and Spam.
I looked it up and picospan and found "Picospan was a popular computer conferencing tool written by Marcus D. Watts for the Altos 68000."
I posted the same thing on Well.com and copied it here. Is the Well still using picospan? Is that why the numbers are in the original post? And so what? Why is that worth mentioning? I don't get it.

Every time we tell a joke we take a chance.
It's wonderful that we all keep taking those chances.

I tend to have earworms that tell me something about what I need to work on. The subconscious has funny ways of giving hints.

That looks suspiciously like Picospan!
Chris... I had no idea you were so OLD! I'll be fair and say that I got your joke...

Like in a lucid dream, you know you are dreaming but in an ordinary dream you think it is real. If you get carried away by your thoughts and let them take over your mind, you are not lucid. If you are observing your mind and know it, you are lucid.
Whether you go into the ecstasy of it or let it go, do it mindfully. Be lucid.
You might learn something by going into the ecstasy and watching your mind, and then after a while you might learn something else by letting it go. Don't get caught up in rules - always do this or always do that. Try different things, be mindful, observe your mind, and that way you will learn the most.
