I think she is trying to say that you were smart on your biology lab practical. Zen isn't usually referred to being smart, but that's what I'm assuming she was trying to say.

the proper word is feeling, and I believe it is both. The feeling puts you in the onstant state of mind.

Only if you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Take the fork and go to a really popular restaurant. But, don't be surprised if no one goes there anymore because it is too crowded. If the customers don't want to come, no one can stop 'em. Remember that Zen is 90% mental. The other half is physical. Have you asked this before? It is like Deja vu all over again. Be aware of those around you. You can observe a lot by just watching. Be prepared for what lies ahead, but keep in mind the future ain't what it used to be.

Someone turned me on to the fact that he was talking about breaking through into a higher state of consciousness.\n\nBreaking out of our ordinary reality into something bigger.

Does this mean you are shutting up now?

Just a guess, but it may mean that you wish you were more powerful in your life. It may be that you sometimes feel that there are things you wish you had more control over. Are you going through any stressful times right now? Might also mean that you might be feeling a little stressed.

Not possible to answer in words.  Look for that part of you which happens when you are not thinking verbally.

Ive asked this to my christian loved ones and theyve not been able to answer me. \n\nAnd silence is a form of affirmation in certain contexts...

The question "Are you experienced" was commonly interpreted as Hendrix asking if you have experienced drugs. He said this was not necessarily about drugs, but about being at peace with yourself.

Zen sitting meditation is called zazen. \n\nIt differs from other meditations because the mind is not being used to think of visuals, mantras, etc. During zazen, the mind concentrates on the breathing and posture. If a thought comes up, which it usually does, you just let go of it, like a cloud in the sky. During zazen, the mind can be in it's original peaceful state (moshotoku). During zazen, there is nothing to loose or gain. You just sit. If zazen is used for anything, it's used just to be your normal self.\n\nThe people here are the real deal. I suggest clicking around on their website. If you want to, call them up (they are kind people.)\nhttp://www.nozt.org/zazen.shtml\n\nI hope I have helped. If I can help more, you can contact me.

Only if you believe in time.\nAs a student of Zen buddism I have come to think of the here and now, this very instant, as eternity.\nThere is no future and past. Where do these things exist?\nOnly eternity exists in this very instant.

People that think they better than others and put them down just so they can feel good, I think it referred to as an Overinflated Ego.\nDo I get a Kiss for answering?? I get upset when I not get a kiss too. :~p

yeah i broke it\n\nI figured out in my mind that it was simply a preconceived event played out in your mind like a dream you had already had.  So that if the event were to occur you feel as though you have already experienced it, so I took up a challenge and told myself the next time it happened i would make sure to do not as i remembered.\n\nIndeed I did, in spring 2004, while at work I had deja vu and behold i was preparing to talk to someone, so i said i just own't, and walked on, the feeling went away in an instant and i have not had deja vu since.\n\nIf i do, i'll do the same thing.  If you wonder then why you don't constantly have it, it is because it is a specific event, not generic like saying hello to someone, but like all the pieces of a chess set have to be laid out in a perfect way, that your mind can see ahead the next few moves.

Strangers to Our Selves\n\nWhen your world seems strange and you've lost your sense of self, you'll be hard pressed finding a name for your affliction. But there is one "Depersonalization Disorder", and it's nothing new. \n\n \n\nIt may happen when you first wake up, or while flying on an airplane or driving in your car. Suddenly, inexplicably, something changes. Common objects and familiar situations seem strange, foreign. Like you've just arrived on the planet, but don't know from where. It may pass quickly, or it may linger. You close your eyes and turn inward, but the very thoughts running through your head seem different. The act of thinking itself, the stream of invisible words running through the hollow chamber of your mind, seems strange and unreal. It's as if you have no self, no ego, no remnant of that inner strength which quietly and automatically enabled you to deal with the world around you, and the world inside you. It may settle over time, into a feeling of "nothingness", as if you were without emotions, dead. Or the fear of it may blossom into a full-blown panic attack. But when it hits for the first time, you're convinced that you're going insane, and wait in a cold sweat to see when and if you finally do go over the edge.\n\nMore info at link below....;
