    I think that people who have experience with drugs are good candidates for learning meditation. Autists, spergs and ADHDers too.

    Drugs are like an airplane ride to an exotic destination. Meditation is like getting a pilot’s license.

      Some people would say the price of an occasional plane ticket is better than the hours of study necessary to get a license. “Better” really depends on your goal. Not everyone really wants to get a license.

      That said, if you fly every day, it’s probably not a bad thing to look into.

        To the passenger it’s all about the exotic destination. To the pilot it’s a whole world of weather, physics, mechanics, skill and discipline. Not to mention a whole dimension of destinations never mentioned in the vacation advertisements.

        The pilot gains not just an exotic trip but an expanded perspective and understanding. An expanded world. That’s a big difference.

          That’s what I’m saying. Some people want that, some people don’t. Some people wanna be passengers.
