Doesn't meditating make you go blind?

Hello Paul,

I admire you and your wife taking up meditation.
I tried it briefly but I was too hyper.
Perhaps I'll give it another try when this
lock-down is over. I believe that meditation
provides a way of learning how to let go.

Buddha was asked.
"What have you gained from meditation?"

"He replied, "Nothing! However.
Buddha said, let me tell you what I lost:
Anger, Anxiety, Depression, Insecurity, Fear of
Old Age and Death."

Now back to the topic:

There's an interesting link concerning Captain Cook
and New Zealand. Especially the chapter -
"Better the British."

Again my apologies for leaving out part of the link.
I'll try again:

Dear David F.,

Thank You for the Blaise Pascal quote.

One of my favourites is:

"Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing
in nature, but he is a thinking reed."
(Blaise Pascal)

Doesn't meditating make you go blind?
ttbn.
going by recent evidence it appears to make people oblivious by fogging the windows to the everyday World !

For some meditation is very costly, it doesn't take money, or any particular skill, but it does take time, something many of us are very poor on.

Its no good being blinded by anger to what is important in life.

I see two, Indy and ttbn have such an infliction..
