Not really questions per se, but I have an observation on something thats been happening to me, I'm getting spontaneous moments when my mind goes very quiet, the monkey chatters away but he's pretty easy to ignore instead the usual chaos of chasing him around and around, its a great experience, mind you. I take it this is going to be a more common occurence, I'm going to my first Samatha class tonight so I can probably discuss it with the teacher.

Hello again L_T,

Sounds good that you're noticing what's happening. Great to hear that you're going to your first class, I hope it will be the first of many more.

Also a lot of my old interests have started to appear to me as kind of trivial, I used to be a hardcore video gamer, but since I've been practcing it seems a bit of a waste of time, is this a normal occurence? Yes, it is quite normal to feel like that. Over a period of time I found that I gradually lost interest quite naturally in one or two things I was involved with in one way or another.
