Have you ever experienced a mental orgasm？

I've probably experienced three different mental orgasms.

First time: Into Zone

I got into Zone. I distinctly felt that the time around me was slowing down.

I was doing the last math problem of my school math homework, and I remember sitting with a few friends in the library discussion area, but that location was probably one of the noisiest places in the school library. But it's not the kind of noise that can't work, it's the feeling that many people's discussions are very average.

I was doing that problem there, because it was all done smoothly before the last question, and when I got to that question, I had the feeling that this problem could be done quickly. Then I discussed it with my friend next door who was doing this assignment, and I told him that I could definitely do it, and then I had a strong desire to solve this problem, and at the same time I had the confidence that I could do it.

Slowly I entered the usual state of concentration, that state of full concentration, and the sounds around me became less obvious. There's nothing here, because I usually think that some programming topics will easily get into this state. But the desire and self-confidence in my heart became stronger and stronger, which was not usually there.

Because I usually feel that I can't do it slowly, at most, I can't help but think about it even when I rest. But I don't know whether it was because of the with my friends or the strong self-confidence I had at that time. That state began to change. My brain started racing, and there was a real feeling of reaching the maximum speed and then pushing the limit.

Then I felt a wonderful feeling that I could hardly describe. It's kind of like my brain wanting to increase the speed even further, then start connecting to a certain place and then use the energy of that place to calculate together.

At this time, my senses became extremely acute, especially my hearing. It was my friend who was obviously speaking quietly from a distance, but I could hear it clearly, and the sounds around me seemed to be filtered. There was a great deal of joy and excitement in the whole brain. Then the scariest part came, and I noticed that the sounds around me were slowing down, really like watching a video to double down, and it was the feeling of getting slower and slower, that is, I could clearly hear my friend's voice getting slower and slower. And it's definitely not that he speaks slowly, but really like some normal speed of speech video slow down and then jump out word by word.

When I realized this clearly, I was frightened, and then came straight out of this field, and all the senses and speed returned to normal.

Then I actually experienced it again, doing math again, but the second time was shorter because I was so excited that I could go in again. I can't remember the details of the second time.

I've been wondering what difference between my two attempts and my usual focus is. In fact, I usually have a very focused moment, such as doing some programming problems, there is also a very strong feeling of wanting to solve it, but it is normal full concentration, will sit for a long time and even feel the feeling of urine or soreness, but there is no feeling of entering Zone twice.

I think the difference is that I have the feeling that I must do it, that I can solve it quickly, which is obviously different from the feeling that I really want to solve, the feeling that you have decided that something will definitely happen, the feeling that confidence fills the whole body, and the belief is extremely firm.

Another point is that solving mathematical problems and solving programming problems is very different, solving mathematical problems makes me feel more focused on the problem itself, programming sometimes has a lot of additional interference, such as bugs, syntax errors, think about what the variable is named, feel that the whole process is not purely solving the problem. And the math problem makes me feel more like I'm trying to get a clue through thinking, and there won't be too many trivial things to occupy your thinking.

Another is that the difficulty of the problem is moderate, in fact, the homework problem is not too difficult, for some friends may come up with it at once. But it was just right for me to that extent, or at the time, I thought that the difficulty of this problem was moderate, and it would give me the feeling that this problem could definitely be made. I think this kind of thinking that I can do it, may be the key, firmly believe that I have the ability to do it, and I am eager to make it, and I will frantically want to mobilize the brain to operate.

These two mental orgasms are really refreshing, I hope to have more and more in the future, and it seems that the second time has been two years ago. Mainly during this period, there was no longer such a strong desire as above.

Second time: Meditation meditation (should be)

Approach settling in when meditating (it should be).

The first time I meditated seemed to be the third year of junior high school or the first year of high school, when I bought a book called "Meditation for 5 Minutes, Equal to One Hour of Deep Sleep". After trying a few times, I thought it would be very good to get into the state, but after a while my book was missing, and I couldn't find it, so I didn't try again.

By the third year, I started meditating again, and during that time I started using apps, but I felt that the vocals and time of the app were set up after all, and sometimes had a little impact on the rhythm of meditation. I remembered the book I had bought before, so I bought another one online.

There is a section called "Concentration Meditation", and there are several passages that look like this:

5． As you listen, experience, and think, pay attention to the emotional colors that accompany your thoughts and feelings to see whether they are pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral.

You are a spectator, you experience that they come and go, they come and go, and they have nothing to do with true happiness. Don't identify with them, and don't mix with them. In fact, people need to use them, but no one needs to have them.

6． Experience these thoughts and feelings coming and going, but don't react to them. Experience yourself and their gradual detachment, so that you will neither try to capture joy nor desperately resist pain.

In joy, there is only joy, nothing else, and no reaction to the feeling of pleasure. In unhappiness, there is only unhappiness, and there is nothing else, no reaction to feelings of unhappiness.

In the neutral feeling, there is only the neutral feeling itself, nothing else, no reaction to the neutral feeling. It is an unbiased mental state without any tendencies. Let your consciousness rest and not react to the outside world.

This state is the "concentration" in Buddhist practice, free and free, constantly entering a deeper level of "concentration" and experiencing the ultimate in freedom, satisfaction, and tranquility as much as possible.

I read this passage many times before I start meditating, and then I keep doing it and keep imagining myself entering a "deeper level of concentration."

Slowly I felt a little white light in front of me, and I was sure that it was either the light in the room, or a little like the light spot you would see when you closed your eyes, but it was much stronger than the light spot, and it was very soft.

And the soreness of sitting is gone, there is a very happy feeling, a very beautiful eternal happiness, at that time I really felt that I could sit like this all the time, and it seemed that I would not be tired for a long time to stay in this state. Suddenly, I understood why those who practiced could meditate for so long.

But it is very coincidental that I obviously turn on the do not disturb every time I meditate on the phone, but that time I did not, and even the mute forgot to turn on. And that night my friend suddenly kept calling on WeChat to call me to play a game, and I was disturbed by the sound of the phone.
