IUP or LOO? A philosophical debate.

[Minyatur]

My mom likes to watch tv in the living room a lot so it's hard to find time to meditate, and I can't find a comfortable spot outdoors.

If I can meditate and tune it out, is that a sign of progress or adeptness?

It is easier to meditate without distractions but overcoming distractions could aslo be a good meditation exercise I guess.

I'm no meditation expert, I seem to be avoiding doing it and when I do I usually fall unconscious without seeing it coming. I've been trying more to lucid dream but I'm having a hard time to go beyond something else than timeless nothingness. Succeeded twice in 3 years, it's something.

I think we're going off-topic though.
