Perfect. Really enjoying your writing!

Mudita!

It also makes me consider how ineffective and non-enduring willpower based changes that target the reactionary behavior are. They do not get at the underlying cause, the emotion itself.

I believe that, because the underlying cause of the reaction is gone, that the reactionary behavior just fades away over time all by itself.

There is a really curious time after an emotional knot clearing, where the habitual momentum of a behavior used to manage the emotion (usually distraction in my case) is still in place, yet the underlying emotion is gone.

*ahem* *clears throat*

Well, I guess my throat chakra is finally clear. :)

Honoring suffering is seeing the full lotus.

Appreciating reading your review as an excellent refresher of the concepts. 🙏🏻❤️

Such an incredible book. ✨

I have to add that “Escape from freedom” is likewise incredible. It unlocked a deeper level of showing up for me.

We are living in the greatest syncretism the world has ever seen by a crazy factor. It’s so good to be alive right now.

And then the question I love: What will be the enduring cultural outputs of our current syncretism period?

We are rediscovering the simplest thing, “being with”. Yet, so much culture must be unwound to get there.

Jesse Welles Come for the songs, stay for the songs

Seriously think there is something magical in this music that can be deeply appreciated from both sides of the political spectrum.

Every single one of these is incredible:

Being kinda good ish :)

This happened to me with both In Rainbows and King of Limbs.

First listen through - eh, what?
By the third - I'm in love.

Just like that old Radiohead album, you only discovered it was good because you gave it sufficient time and attention.

Would it be nice if we all had unlimited attention to give?

Love is infinite and attention-time is finite.

Absolutely lovely new years practice:

With the “joy beyond sorrow” in mind, send thanks and gratitude to all the pain and hardship you experienced in the previous year.

Reflecting on all the things that I love to know about not-knowing during a not-knowing meditation.

Peak meditation irony. 😆

Through Kuntuzangpo's prayer, may all beings become Buddhas, completely perfected in the abode of the dharmadhatu. The ground of all is uncompounded, and the self-arising great expanse, beyond expression, has neither the name samsara nor nirvana.

Such a good solstice today.

The Prayer of Kuntuzangpo is incredible. 🙏❤️

Glad I caught and rode this wave of inspiration. There are at least 30 other "more important" things that I "should" be doing 😂
