The importance behind her unique terminology and approach including:
why “extra-systemic”?
her own high level way of conveying and interpreting events both similar and significantly different from other systems like various esoteric teachings, ageless wisdom teachings and other galactic history as well as what others mention of gridwork, missions, agendas, programs and exopolitics
Astral origins, background, dynamics, history, connections and what it bridges into
Context and related material for her new video “New Inner Domain Races and New Intervention Protocol” which involves:
the end of “the event protocol”
various levels of relative reality configuration
extra-systemic races
newly encountered council technology and protocol
agreements on how agreements plan to significantly the greater reality
wars
the uncertainties of how it could change our reality
Samatha is one meditation method, training or technique for cultivating samadhi. Often times taught with a single meditation object, it’s been said samatha is a practice of non-attention. One trains to collect, gather, unify, steady, stabilize, settle attention and the mind — not flitting from object to object, from noticing disparate phenomena after phenomena.
Sometimes samatha instructions are given to “ignore” everything except the meditation object in order to build the muscle of being able to focus on, place attention on, and then remain on a single meditation object for long periods of time with the intent to later apply this skill for various purposes. The word “ignore”, while effective for some strikes me as often too close to “ignorance.”
While not meant as all or nothing replacements, the following are some alternative language suggestions for the instruction of “ignore (it)” — along with some opposites for contrast — to help point at, indicate, allow access to, align with, streamline, express, and connect to the same kind of spirit and purpose of the instructions “just ignore it and come back to the meditation object”:
drop
renounce
place
set aside
shelf
disengage
return
disentangle
revert
divert
divest
overlook
supercede
leave
bring back / put back / pull back / slide back
seize
cohere
adhere
remain
abandon
reject
seclude
withdraw (although has modern negative psychological connotations)
detach (also contains modern negative psychological connotations)
attach
discharge
unplug
disconnect
(un)subscribe
(un)follow
comments disabled
recover / restore / backup / save
no interaction / non-interactive
[after meditation:] evaluate / rate
unhook
unbait
cease
stop
halt
reunity / reunite
focus
streamline
retract
dissolve
(re)constitute
solidify
crystallise
aggregate
compound
kneed (together)
allow erosion, decay, neglect
prioritise
exclusive intimacy
glom on (to)
teflon / slide off
back off
break off / split away / split off
discard
disregard
commit
target
aim
lock on / lock in
evade
infuse / steep
absorb
blend
merge
accompany
be with
occupy
join / conjoin / disjoin
sever
Now reread these as categories of inclusivity as well as (categories of) how to exclude and not exclude.
When is using the word “ignore” helpful in meditation and when is it not?
What happens when intending and practicing with the opposite of all these for opposition, contrast, polity to see and know it even better?
Without background, context, or previous replies, I’m including most of my latest email reply to a reader who has wrote to me where I currently feel some of this may be helpful, in a supplemental way, for some where now on their plate they find such a topic:
Due to potential risk of liabilities with the nature of my work I must say the standard statement that if you’re having suic*d*l thoughts seek help sooner rather than later from a professional.
I can just share some musings on this that are not meant as a substitute for professionally addressing such troubling thoughts. When something like this would briefly occur years ago I was a little shocked because it was the complete opposite of how I would ever act and be. A loving-kindness practice — especially towards myself — helped me tremendously, particularly when authentically wishing myself safety internally and externally with the same, or greater energy than the opposite.
I was later taught to ask, “what if such thoughts where not actually one’s own?” What if they were being empathed from the collective (un)consciousness? Seen this way, and then sincerely practicing loving-kindness or well-wishing, or unstoppable friendliness for myself and others, and all beings everywhere — as well as compassion — was/is the biggest antidote, at least on the physical and astral/emotional levels. Things that were not kind would sometimes come up while doing this so they could be seen and cleared or released.

May you be safe inside and out, may you be happy and joyful, may you be healthy and strong, may you live knowing peace and ease, and may you realize awakening and be free!
Hi my name is Jennee Jay and I have started this fundraiser to help bring my friend Kazandra home. Due to unforeseen circumstances she is stranded in Hawaii with no way to get back to Canada. The devastation in Hawaii is real and it breaks my heart to know she’s stranded there.
So please if you can at least share this post or donate if you have the means to every contribution is greatly appreciated and every little bit helps.
There's now a fundraiser to "help bring my friend Kazandra home. Due to unforeseen circumstances she is stranded in Hawaii with no way to get back to Canada." https://t.co/dMyyrzE4fs I sat down with Kazandra last year about solutions https://t.co/tqMLFeVANk
Perhaps too hot for Youtube and regular podcast outlets, I chat with Kazandra, where we touch briefly on some of the underbellies and undercurrents of humanity’s challenges in order to acknowledge this pain then shifting and placing the main focus and energy on the potentially best and more novel ways, means and methods to solve and dissolve them in the following areas and more:
economy
communities and living
food
environment
health care (systems)
government(s)
various levels of the correctional and justice systems
In this fourth installment of the ongoing live series with Wendy Nash inquiring into meditation practice on and off the cushion, we planed to, and did look quite a bit at “…Christmas, family, tense conversations, New Year, alcohol, partying – and how they relate to meditation and ethics.”
Amongst other topics we also look at right (or wise, skillful or whole) effort, whole speech, whole livelihood and some who are calling off holidays around this time of year altogether.
*There’s naturally an ongoing open call for meditation (related) questions for the (roughly) monthly “Meditation Q & A” either by the various social media means listed; integratingpresence[at]protonmail.com or Wisdom App to type/ask live.*
Background
Regular, current and past visitors to Integrating Presence may recall the monthly series “Ask Us Anything” I did with Denny K Miu from August 2020 until January 2022 — partially including and continuing on with Lydia Grace as co-host for awhile until March 2022.
For a fewmonthsthereafter I did various Insight Timer live events exploring potential new directions and/or a continuation of the Ask Us Anything format while weaving in other related teachings to these events.
Then, after chats with meditation coach Wendy Nash, it became clear to start a new collaboration similar to “Ask Us Anything” simply and clearly called “Meditation Q & A” especially due to the original intent of the Ask Us Anything’s being “discussions about meditation and related topics.”

I pitched the October 30th, 2022 Insight Timer live event Practical Purity thus:
What’s the importance of true purity? How can we view purity and what can we realistically think, say and do to increase the purity rate from day to day in our everyday mundane lives?
1. freedom from adulteration or contamination 2. freedom from immorality, especially of a sexual nature
a Dictionary definition of purity
Some notes:
mind, emotions, body
optimal energy, perhaps some qualities like:
Balance
Stamina
Tranquility
Lightness
Softness
Flexibility
Uprightness/Authentic/Truthfulness
Proficiency
Puritan origins
Hellfire Club
How can this be transformed?
sex, sexual activity/energy
waking up in the middle of being emotionally entangled
(living) environment inside and out: cleaning, tidying, energetic hygiene
4 nutriments:
food
sense-impressions
volitional thought
consciousness
If fear based driver (activity) then energy will be fear based
‘setting the intention to increase purity and then being able to have the will power and desire to make the necessary changes, as hard as those may be’
Stargates are dual spiral pairs of electromagnetic fields that naturally exist inside planets and suns. The stargate pairs are configured in gender principle with a white hole and black hole pairing that intersects in their electromagnetic spiral in the direct center point where there is a crystal key or seal. The crystal key in the center holds the fire letters, key codes and intelligence for that dimensional spectrum and is what activates the electromagnetic spin in the stargate or portal system. When the stargate pairs activate, the crystal transmits dimensional intelligence and genetic codes and the white hole and black hole merge together to form an interdimensional counter rotating field, which opens into a passage doorway. This center point would be comparable to the inner still point existing inside the human lightbody. In the stargate system, the white hole and black hole merge into a counter rotational spinning field where its center becomes a still point or form constant that is generating the transtime portal.
Stargates are the natural mechanics of how the planetary grid steps down the solar plasma intelligence, higher frequency energies and electromagnetic wave spectrums transmitting from the Source field into the Sun, which is then directed throughout the many Stargates. The Stargates transmit an energetic spectrum of frequencies, moving from the higher to lower dimensions, in order to reach the matter fields and circulate them throughout the planetary grid network. Stargates create spirals of these energies, which are designed on a frequency scale . . .

Five short excerpts of some questions I asked from the 8/11/2021 Ajahn Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhuzoom event with Mid-America Buddhist Association about potential paradox with the Cetana Sutta; advice for preserving and/or unifying various Buddhist schools & lineages; strategies for fear of annihilation; on effort involved with vittaka & the relationship with vicara; and if there’s “Right Jhana” and the Buddha’s instructions for Jhana
The questions individually:
About the potential paradox of some suttas instructing various uses of will with the refrain of “no need for an act of will” in the Cetana Sutta: An Act of Will:
2. About pros and cons for both maintaining individual Buddhist schools and lineages and for unifying them:
3. I wonder about how to deal with fear of annihilation even if cognitively knowing this is an extreme:
4. I stumble with my question that I wrote before hand but didn’t read verbatim: How does effort for vitakka wax & wane? How does vitakka turn into, or allow, or go along with vicāra?
On effort involved with vittaka & the relationship with vicara:
5. On if there is a “Right Jhana” mentioned in the suttas and if the Buddha ever gave specific instructions for achieving Jhana:
