A presence I have not felt since....

Sometimes you just gotta put on a Darth Vader mask to amuse the little one. With the mask on, my breath becomes more audible. The sound of the ingoing and outgoing breath easily and continuously pulls the mind's attention to the upperlip, nostrils and tip of the nose. This in turn helps direct and sustain the flow of thought in that particular direction. Directed and sustained thought;  two of the 1st jhana's conditioning factors.

Yes, attaining 1st jhana with a Darth Vader mask on!... while Luk...ahem...Luca tries to take it off.

I cannot wait for The Force to Awaken!!!!
