A Guide to an Unguided Meditation

Monkey likes to meditate with Ibbs.  He’ll often lead Ibbs in a guided mediation, asking him to concentrate on his feet and then feel the energy rise to his knees.  But Ibbs doesn’t have knees.  So he just looks to his feet until Monkey says otherwise.

Sometimes Monkey will get over zealous and require an intense session that could last hours if not days.  Ibbs is always willing to comply.  Because in reality (whatever that means), Ibbs is always in meditation.

Monkey doesn’t know this, but after each session he’s amazed at the tenacity of Ibbs and finds his own reward by regarding himself as the most awesome meditative teacher, Great Sage of all.  Monkey used to say the title was equal to heaven, but Ibbs doesn’t know what Heaven is, so now Monkey just proclaims that he’s Great.  And Ibbs agrees.
