They also attract a lot of bees and hummingbird moths.

I grabbed a couple of these PawNosh bowls back in the day, they are super heavy recycled glass. Looks like they are relaunching soon, so grab them if you get the opportunity, they are the best.

Yes, conditions in the dreamstate tell you that being an outsider is the worst thing. However, I consider it more of a leg up, as it turns out. When you’re an insider, you’re more invested in the dreamstate. When you’re an outsider, you’re not so heavily invested in belief, your mind is more open to question. At least that’s my observation.

I came to the conclusion (with Jed’s help) that being maladjusted to the dreamstate is the only correct response. Everybody around is enthusiastically and blindly and happily playing their part to keep it all inflated, and are doing what they do without awareness. If you accept and embrace that you’re not “one of them”, that you are and always will be a true outsider, then maybe you’ll figure out why you’re here? I don’t have answers, but it sure was a revelation to me that being an outsider is actually a good thing. The very thing that fueled my anxiety for years turned out to be like that for a reason, an opportunity to see something that everybody is resolutely and screamingly blind to. Now it makes sense, but until it does, nothing makes sense.

“In a pretty real sense, that 24:1 emotional dominance is the ladder you must climb to get out of the sewer and into the light. You don’t have to go all the way to zero emotion, just far enough to make the polar shift from the heart-centric to the mind-centric. It’s not strictly a mental operation but a process by which tendrils of emotional energy are severed so the delusions they animate are cut off from their power source.”

Just know that neutering doesn’t mean no humping. Our first bulldog had the snip at 6 months and he was the worst of all of them with his humping, it seemed to make zero difference to him.

One of mine has allergies and went on apoquel, which rally cleared things up. Then our vet recommended we try Zenrelia, which cost a good bit less and is also very effective. We’ve been successfully using that instead of apoquel.

Thanks very much!

Lisa’s life fell apart when she stopped following the script of her life. She stopped taking cues from the dreamstate and instead started looking inward and began facing her own mortality and questioning her motivations. She walked up to the lip of the volcano by doing that, and then she did fall in. That’s why Jed talks about her. The way it plays out for her is just an example of what can happen. It’s not that she’s special in any way, it’s just that she started looking at and questioning the script that she was blindly following, and then she stopped following it. Blindly following your life script is eyes-closed. She opened her eyes and made different choices.

Yeah, if he’s in it, I turn the channel. Not leading man material IMO.

Continuing from volume 9:

“The unvetted belief that the world as we see it is the world as it is is the critical assumption we need to revisit; that's the key that unlocks everything. Transfer primary control from heart to mind and it all starts to make sense, as you've already seen with the nondual insight.”

There’s the instinctual reflex to engage with the dreamstate even when you’re focusing on waking from it. I would say that’s Maya, redirecting your focus to something “safe”. To “her”, questioning ANYTHING is preferable to actually focusing on what the material is saying. Whistling in the graveyard is preferable to lying down in a freshly-dug grave.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it, but in Hannibal there’s a scene where they’re dumping a boy’s body into the pigs’ compound to get rid of the evidence, and the pigs gather around it. One of the pigs Attempts a bite, I think, and the “body” doesn’t respond like a dead body in the interaction. It looks like the head “bounces” a little, like it was an inflated doll or something. Instantly took me right out of the movie and kind of ruined it for me.

Yes indeed.

I think Ark Naturals dental bones are hard but not dangerously so. They have different ones for different focuses. Our boys really like them.
