A non existent practice creates non existent results. Same with most things.
The observing from outside. The duality is the first realisation. We are not our thoughts. Our thought are us. They create the sense of self.
The thoughts come from a variety of directions or arisings. The function of meditation is to initially slow this continual barrage of undisciplined mind and senses. To be aware of the nature of this very real situation and how it controls us, not the other way around.
I saw Richard Stallman talking about GNU. The kids of Linus were running around the stage during the talk. That was the day I decided to be a penguin. My sort of freedom.

Sadly don't have the interest to chase it down. Just venting. Sorry!

Many years ago when I was a baby distro-hopping penguin, I new so little. And many distros were full of watered down unix illuminati. Very condescending/dismissive/unkind advisory know it alls. Boo! Hiss!
A rather intriguing Linux, not even on version one had a kind user; knowledgeable, patient and willing to answer my noob questions. I had that distro on the back burner, valuing its incredible speed and efficient programs but its screen scrolling was s l o w on my hardware …
And then … I was helped with making use of my very old graphic card. Whoosh, all of a sudden Puppy Linux was viable and still very different, experimental and well … just small, efficient, ran from RAM as root. Basically the way Linux for a desktop could be …
I was hooked in …
I was not much for programming but could support in a variety of other ways. Daily news-letters, youtube talks, curating the wiki, posts on the forum. Testing every release and reporting back etc. etc.
I am no longer active but remember …
