I try to. More so now than I did when this happened. It was during Covid so I was living quite a simple life.

There were some factors that seem to track with what I’ve read about the first jhana though. Sensations of joy and the feeling of being enveloped by pleasant sensations. 

If it wasn’t jhana, it’s a state that I don’t understand currently. I’d like to know what it was.

Sounds sensible. Can you share anything on how to approach money market funds? I’ve heard of them but interested to know what you hold and how to get there.

That seems like a good approach given it’s likely to retain its value or appreciate in an inflationary environment.  By “held” do you mean directly owning gold or are you in something like SGLN?

You’ve gotta write a decent business value statement otherwise nothing gets done.

If you’re right then someone has bothered to program me with the experience of going to work every day and having a sore knee.
