How about the different formless realms? Yeah, Peter said single-point meditation which is IDIM 33. Ta-da!

Single-point meditation, ekagra, okay? You jogo, nice. So, oftentimes after a problem-solving meditation you fix your mind on an object.

When you go to level nine and you're enjoying the lama you made with your seeds and you're just sitting with them and you're just relaxing in the vibe, in the feeling, good feeling with your lama. And you're just like, you're so cool, man. I'm so cool, I made you, man.

Oh, man. And you're just there, okay? You're just present with them.

That's single-point meditation, ekagra, okay? Agra? The name of the city where the Taj Mahal is, which means tip-top.

And eka means one, right? So ekagra, single-pointed. It's a Sanskrit synonym for meditation, okay?

But the third kind of meditation, third kind of object. You stay on the object. A classic ekagra meditation is emptiness, okay?

When you're examining your teacher to see if you met them by accident and you decide there's no teacher that you met by accident and you stay there, that's single-pointed meditation, okay? Got it? What happened in the two or three minutes before that was a problem-solving meditation, okay?

Got it? And the whole lion's dance is kind of a list meditation, okay? Oh, what am I supposed to do next?

Ah, number two, you know, okay? So you're kind of mixing all those three meditations in a lion's dance, okay? All right.
