[Second, I was reflecting on the conversation we had on meditation a while back. I felt like my explanation of why I'm so into meditative practices was good but didn't connect as much as it could have. I just unearthed some pages from an old book that might frame one angle of the goal better: it's the skill of getting your brain to produce "theta waves" on demand. And these waves aren't just figures on an EEG – they are reflect a dreamlike subjective experience that grants you a new set of tasteful aesthetic lenses on the world. Here's 2 pages on it from the book Sunrise Tai Chi: thetawaves.jacobcole.net](http://thetawaves.jacobcole.net/) !
