How much meditation time does it take to strong arm other people's work over and over again?
It's a talent, but visionary doesn't seem apt.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Looks like the brain has several layers of conscious states. The brain consumes many calories and thinking hard can make you tired. Especially if you have been very productive for a long time and then hit a wall. At the point of mental exhaustion, the brain desires sleep. You fall asleep and begin having a psychosis. The brain uses symbols that represent the psychosis causing hallucination. There is something about b…
What does psychosis actually refer to? I've heard the term but am not familiar with its official meaning
I use the hypnogagic state as part of my meditation routine. I always shower before bed and that's when I tend to start getting sleepy. So I started meditating during that time. I can get to the phase of seeing shifting colors and patterns very easily in this setup. I've been able to get there outside the hypnogagic state but only with some difficulty and not consistently.
Meditation is about being alert and present. Hypnagogia in my experience is a hindrance that impedes meditation progress since it dulls the senses and experience.
If your goal is to be aware of yourself in the immediate, to feel things directly, then the hypnogagic state can work well. Obviously your mileage may vary.
I think I once got into this hypnagogic state by accident. I was having a nap and my dogs woke me up because it was time for their walk. I felt sleepy while walking the dogs but also had a clarity regarding anything I examined in my mind.

I guarantee that someone out there can recommend a substance which achieves that effect
BRB, trying.
I thought Edison's "visionary" status had been discarded and his primary skillsets were deceit and self publicity? How much meditation time does it take to strong arm other people's work over and over again? It's a talent, but visionary doesn't seem apt.
Also, in case of Edison, he used an army of assistants to comb through his ideas and patents avaiable at the time to find what is useful. Again, a privilege of multimillionaire
These techniques cannot be used by a person who have to walk a dog early every morning, help his son to go to a school and work with complex code base.
