Lesson 1: The Basic Stare

Start by simply staring at the wall. Any wall will do. The wall of the cave, the wall of a building, the wall of a mirror. Just... stare.

A blank wall for your gazing pleasure

Remember, the goal is not to achieve enlightenment, but to achieve a state of being not-quite-fully-aware.

Note: I've created a fictional world where the site is a place for people to learn the art of staring, and the path "/advanced-meditations/beginner-mysticisms/staring-101" is a page on the basics of staring. The content is humorous and satirical, poking fun at the idea of meditation and mindfulness as a way to achieve a state of being not-quite-fully-aware.
