A lot of thanks to a friend, who recommended "The Holy Mountain 1973" to me.
The quest to the holy mountain and the strive towards spiritual development is just amazing. It contains a lot of adult rated stuff, crazy symbols and dream-like metaphors. However, without those, the film would lose its idea. The idea of the film was to directly show the main worldly problems and then propose the solution (everything as literally as possible).
Amazing..
Also, on the psychokinesis forum, a link to the following online library was shared:

That's a lot of books.

Easy meditation
Right .. I'm back on the same subject again .. lack of love is the cause of this stress and anxiety.
Found that when the weather is hot, then maintaining focus with a clear mind on pretty much anything keeps the internal winds circulating so that it feels nice and cool.
Remembered an old exercise I used to practise several years ago. Would download some more anime wallpapers with pretty girls. Would then take one and stare at it, until the mind goes blank .. then stare at it more, until the mind is immersed in the image and there is no more "I". Probably one of the easiest ways for a male to meditate.
Another great way is to draw or paint a pretty girl, until it starts to feel as if you're drawing a live person. A little later it would feel as if you're drawing yourself. Another easy way to meditate. Though, with this one, my mind usually wakes up at some point, ruining the drawing with rational analysis. The same with practising drums .. it's a meditation up to a few hours.

Should study trees and water some more.

Embedded pyramid restaurant
Dreams..
Was working on homework in one of these. At the background, there was a soap opera on TV. After finishing homework for the morning, I glanced at the TV and saw the following: one person caught another one and had him on leash. Both looked fairly dull and tired of life.
Another one. Entered some sort of a building. Overheard a discussion and the mentioning of "the restaurant," hinting at it being hidden somewhere inside this building. Snuck away, into another room, quickly into another (knew I had been seen). Found it .. a security hole .. ventilation pipes, large enough to crawl in. Moved fast, skipping pipe crossings that I knew wouldn't lead me to the destination.
Dropped into a large open space. A restaurant with chairs covered in green velvet. Walked around the corner, amazed at this place. Met a few people there, who greeted me as a new potential member of their closed community. A lady proposed that I could sit down and eat something (the food was certainly out of ordinary, with some exceptional healing properties). Decided to go on a tour with the architect, instead. The architect looked really young, 15 perhaps? Actually, he was several thousand years old. With great enthusiasm, he described his work. It was a closed pyramid, embedded into a regular business sector building. Inside this pyramid, they would manifest food and live an immortal life .. separated from the rest of the world. The pyramid could survive several nuclear attacks and what not.
I guess the discussion ended and I popped away right when I had thought: "Can't stay here."

Pic: a boat trip
Gimped another picture.
Some sort of a fairy-tale'ish boat trip at rough sea with a rescued girl.

A pic
Inspired by Owltwelve's meditation on the wind kasina, I focused on the visualization of wind rocking tree branches in my mind. Started to feel a cold breeze around my face indoors.
It's strange, just how easily the feeling of a picture becomes lost during processing. The sketches drawn by hand always seem a lot more lively than the vectorized and brushed pictures. It might be all the small details, shading and stuff. Or it may be that I gradually lose track of the feeling during lengthy processing.

Angel and butterfly 2
K, finished a version of the angel drawing that I started quite a while ago.
Once at the summerhouse, I saw the shape of an angel with a butterfly in her hand. From a specific angle and correct lighting, the wood spots looked like this:
Based on the captured image, I sketched it on paper, scanned it in. Then vectorized and painted it in Gimp:

Angel and butterfly
During the summer at the summerhouse, I saw the figure of an angel, made of wood spots on the ceiling. Have been working on the drawing recently. On the drawing, there's a butterfly sitting on the hand of an angel. There's been some synchronicity with the drawing.
Sister is also back from U.S. (home for a week already). She showed me a couple of drawings she had made a while ago. Angels, one of which looked like a self-portrait and the other .. a zoom-in of the drawing I've been working on.
Kevin came to visit us today. The girl who was with him asked why there was a butterfly on my table. I had totally forgotten there was one and said "It's part of the dust." Went to the kitchen maybe 10 minutes later and a butterfly flew in from the open window. Took me a few minutes to save it. I could get it to sit on my finger with empathy, but it was too nervous to get out and kept flying against the window.
Attended the first official meeting of a local newborn gamedev club. Deja vu, I've seen the meeting and met some of those guys before. It's going to be interesting when I return from service.
