>>14131951>If you're constantly indulged in "introspective thought", your life experience will be muted, your personal growth will be stunted, and you will have nothing worthwhile to reflect on.A mindset cut out from the world can be silly, and leading to invent the wheel twice, but the idea of keeping one foot out of it, or eyes upon the sky, I find valuable too.
I wonder if meditation, rather than disconecting from the world, ties you to it. Talking about the cognitive changes it can bring about, I mean.
>Meditation doesn't have to involve shutting out the world. You can do quiet observation, without judgment or mental commentary; allow yourself to soak in the atmosphere of a place, to notice things you've never paid attention to, and fresh thoughts will arise on their own. I would really like to hear more about this. Sounds similar to open monitoring.
I'd honestly like to know more about this, it's something I've been discovering, and brings interesting questions. And I too myself have found it really valuable.
