I put online a video that is a "spiritual atheist" ritual/meditation that very reliably gives people deep experiences entirely free of superstition, by using techniques of mindfulness meditation and NLP.
It also obeys a stricter set of formal rules than almost anything of its length ever published in the English language: strict common meter, double rhymes, no first or second person singular (so it can be spoken in unison, ceremonially) and strictly facts-only with only the slightest use of metaphor.
I've released it into the public domain, and it is the first of seven of its kind: the Seven Secular Sermons.
Please see it, upvote it, send the link, react to it, remix it etc.
I have meditated every day for a couple years, so I was curious to try meditating to this. I found it less effective than my typical meditation in silence (well, usually with white/brown noise), though I admit I haven't tried much guided meditation which would be a more natural comparison. I didn't have any deep experiences.
Some general reactions:
The structure of the rhyming was reminiscent of Dr. Suess, which I found to be a somewhat odd choice. Somehow I found it a little discordant with meditation. I couldn't quite "groove on it" if you know
As in Joshua Blaine's original description (below), but may be used to brag about things you've accomplished either this month (December) or the previous one (November), assuming that you haven't brought it up in any earlier Monthly Bragging Thread.
