Much better streamlined version of "Beyond Inner Work: Relational Awareness and the Practice of Relateful"
Had too many versions and was using the wrong AI for this type of thing. Just switched to Claude, submitted a few versions and so happy with this shorter much easier to read version. My ideas, long rambles and confusing order, now in streamlined, logically ordered document.... Ultimately, it’s simply being grateful for more present. And from there much revolves around, and influences are received from, the life forms consciously observed being present together.... What I do is spend time walking, noticing my surroundings, I am not a t.v. or phone person and do not spend much time doing what i see I wish others didnot which is disconnect from the world.... Usually addictions occur because we are not comfortable with our environment so we want to change it. We are not comfortable with our environment because we are not fully in touch with the present.... Your Map of Me Is Out of Date
On the quiet failure of fixed people-maps -- and whose job it is to fix them ---- Ken Wilber, whose maps of human development have shaped a generation of facilitators, coaches, and practitioners, is emphatic about one thing: the map is not the territory.... Journal submission: Wait, what is "relatefulness"?

You are invited to move slowly here.... 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...... Next time I'm triggered

Sometimes I catch myself saying something like, “Oh if I miss the movie I’m going to be so mad.” Or “If I lose this opportunity I’m going to be so bummed." Why would I prepare to be upset?... There’s nothing I'd rather do 📿
There’s a wonderful thing I’ve been noticing myself saying recently: I’d rather do nothing. Literally nothing. Not even in “meditation”—no intention, no practice, no right/wrong. This is a place of real freedom and power.... Love what you wrote Blas!
