I have to have human interaction too. Very much so. And a teacher, someone who has been down the path of finding sanity. I have little of those right now.

warm regards, Jake


> Hmm, well, I did that experiment recently. Over spring break, I took 10 days, and completely isolated myself in my apartment. I had a schedule, I did work, and meditated, and did more work, and read a book, and played some music. I ate mindfully, and was so disciplined. And you know what? By the time I emerged from the isolation, it was to go to mental health facility to be evaluated for intake.

> I couldn't even understand my native language I was so impaired from lack of human interaction. My Beck Depression Inventory score was dismal. Sure, I got a lot of work done, and a lot of meditating done. I also got a lot of depression done, and altered some of the neural networks that keep me happy and balanced.

I think that p-babble reduces my sense of isolation, which is why I feel better lately. But not better enough to confront my monkey mind in a one-on-one game of Vipassana meditation. Too daunting. I don't even know what my mind will throw at my consciousness, and if it starts throwing some crazy stuff up to explicit awareness, I don't want to be alone- I want to have a T to help me figure out WTF it means. I'm not content to just "acknowledge" it, as the meditation practice suggests. I need to "interpret" it too.
