Parson wrote:empty your mind and try to not fall asleep
sitting upright with your eyes closed on a matt might help
and if my mind is empty, how do i meditate on a specific subject?
what is the main aim of meditation? to come to some sort of conclusion? or simply to think more deeply about someting?

its hard to really empty your mind.
there's all kinds of techniques
if you really want to try some techniques out, i'd recoommend googling and seeing what suits you

while you're here parson, have you ever read anything on dream interpretation? fascinating stuff. also touches on the "order from chaos" idea, that your mind will always find order amongst chaos, like seeing images in clouds.

dream interpretation is something very personal
i tend to not look for archetypes or universal meaning in them
not that i don't think archetypes and universal meaning exist
i just think dreams are personal

im not disagreeing with that, just saying that the idea of finding meaning from a dream is fascinating to me. goes with what you said about finding information within ourselves?

ive got lots of crazy random dreams but the theme that happens the most (at least that i remember) is finding huge wads or bags of cash. making away with it. and then waking up broke.
