A Tibetan story tells of a meditation student who, while meditating in his room, believed he saw a spider descending in front of him. Each day the menacing creature returned, growing larger and larger each time. So frightened was the student, that he went to his teacher to report his dilemma. He said he planned to place a knife in his lap during meditation, so when the spider appeared he would kill it. The teacher advised him against this plan. Instead, he suggested, bring a piece of chalk to meditation, and when the spider appeared, mark an "X" on its belly. Then report back. The student returned to his meditation. When the spider again appeared, he resisted the urge to attack it, and instead did just what the master suggested. When he later reported back to the master, the teacher told him to lift up his shirt and look at his own belly. There was the "X". |

I just found it, and enjoyed it a lot, because it resonated with some ideas i had been having lately. everything is projected in your own mind. you create your own reality. ergo, you are your own worst enemy! but if this is true, then you must be able to change your own reality easily, and that aspect is fascinating. |

Ha ha, before when I was praying in the dark my shirt hanging up appeared to grow and grow till it was filling the room. It really freaked me out and it was only when I forced myself to touch it that it went back to normal size. What do you make of that? |

Praying? cool! I take it as a fascinating optic illusion, like the rest of the world! |

Yeah, it's like this story talking about The Abyss that look at you if you look at it too long. |

what had happened if he ate the spider? |

He would find a hole in his torso and amangle of skin on the floor in front of him (he would eat his stomach, so the stomach would fall out of him- as there was no stomach to "hold it", resulting in the mangled flesh on the floor) :) |
