Daily Alchemy: a question to think on together

I would offer that mindfulness of communications as a see-saw (intention <-> Perception) restores some control and reapportions responsibility for change and balance more reasonably.... I love this set of questions. (Btw, have you read Four Thousand Weeks? It does a similar exploration. Nothing revolutionary for you, but you'll still probably enjoy it). I think the biggest thing that got reaffirmed for me was: completion is impossible...... You might like Steve March's Aletheia Method (https://integralunfoldment.com/). I did their first two levels of training. Steve similarly was confused that different modalities seemed to be equally effective at different times, sometimes with the same client.... Love this! I definitely "grow down into the ground" for stability and power, and put lots of attention on my feet in general. In confrontation/crunchy moment, I direct my gaze specifically and shift it when I feel frozen, or move other small movements.... - xander...
For me the notion that we are not our thoughts is not meant to be believed or objectively provable, but rather a starting point of exploration.

Kinda like different kinds of yoga.... - onYou’re doing sex wrong: What I wish everyone knew about the emotional presence, physical skill, and energetic magnitude of blissful, fulfilling sex.by
Ohhh I adore this take. Yes. These things need to be shouted from the rooftops. Particularly your point about "feel your lips." It's an incredible embodiment practice for me to practice sex as only receiving.... - onI just noticed how the "no-self" doctrine supports the "materialist industrial epistemological complex"by
I also really appreciate your take on no-self! I think no self is supposed to be about how, if you actually tried, you'd endlessly fail at drawing a sharp unwavering border through the sea of consciousness where "self" gets to be on the inside and "other" gets to be on the... By approaching triggers with equanimity and non-attachment, you’re fundamentally retraining your nervous system. The real shift happens not in avoiding or overcoming but in merely observing and allowing....
