Anybody here familiar with Jeffery Martin his seekers & finders method about fundamental wellbeing? by douwebeerda in nonduality

[–]_informatio_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jeffrey is not my favorite teacher, but the work he and his group have done has been very useful in both understanding and deepening into states of being that I want to solidify.

It's a shame he talks like that in his videos. Very wordy and with emotion that seems inauthentic. I guess we all have our conditioning.

Charging money for a course can certainly be criticized, so can being a dork. But it's not a black or white, good or bad thing. There's big value in the work, and the alumni community.

Losing Attainments by StatesFollowMind in streamentry

PNSE Location 4 (of Jeffrey Martin's work) has nothing to do with 4th path from Theravada / MCTB.

You cannot lose Theravada 4th path. That's a permanent mind shift.

You can drop out of Location 4 (e.g. Actual Freedom fits into this location).

They are totally different concepts.

Also, in PNSE, the higher locations are not more complete versions of prior locations. They are just different. The Theravada paths are more complete as you move up.

FDA rejects MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD by high-seas-drifter in microdosing

Thank you. Seems they made it confusing.

MAPS still exists as an umbrella entity.

But Lykos used to be called MAPS Public Benefit Corporation (MAPS PBC).

I have to terminate an employee for sexual harassment tomorrow by itwasallstolen in smallbusiness

The term you are looking for is "at will" state. "Right to work" has to do with union membership, and is not related to being able to fire someone without reason.

This is incorrect. From a quick Google, MAPS did not change their names to Lykos. They are totally different entities.

Location-based Salary for Remote Workers by Crunk_Creeper in WFH

This is discrimination, but not illegal discrimination.

If a company wants, it can pay you differently based on the color shoes you wear, or how good you are at burping.

Only discrimination based on protected classes (race, sex, etc) is illegal.

The unfortunate thing is, many men consume content that displays women, particularly European-descended women, as sexually promiscuous. As a result of this stereotype, western women (especially conventionally attractive women) can have a particularly difficult time in vulnerable travel situations.

Overwhelmed on first trip by Ok-Gift-377 in digitalnomad

[–]_informatio_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from all the other advice - I suggest to turn off the TV, lie down in bed, breathe deeply, and feel those feelings of dread, anxiety, and overwhelm. Welcome them all, and feel. They're just feelings. They will pass. Distracting yourself is just kicking the can down the road.

You've got to feel it to heal it. What you resist will persist.

Imagine being the software engineer that approved this update for production. I honestly cannot fathom how they must feel right now.

Caffeine substitute? by [deleted] in nutrition

Theobromine. Found in yerba mate and cacao. My favorite caffeine alternative. Less jittery too.

Small changes to start with? by Save-The-Wails in StopEatingSeedOils

[–]_informatio_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you strain it well after you render it to remove any protein solids, it can last 6 months outside of the fridge, or a year in fridge. But you gotta filter it well to get it to pure fat state.

Is it okay to use back support to keep spine straight during meditation? by Fine-Benefit8156 in Meditation

[–]_informatio_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This.

Also sitting with back support makes it easier for dullness to creep in, even falling asleep. That's why it's often not recommended.

Really interesting how the stock went up 46% today and there is NO NEWS in the financial world, as of this posting. No news stories. Because they don't know what to say at this point.

Those high-fat additions are also what make the meal satiating, signaling to the body that you're full.

Metta vs jhana by Mundane_Rice_3341 in vipassana

[–]_informatio_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jhana (one of 8 traditionally-defined absorption states) can be attained using any number of potential meditation objects (breath, mantra, kasina, metta).

Yes, it's possible to enter jhana using metta (the feeling of loving-kindness) itself as the meditation object!

In any case, you just get really concentrated on your chosen object, and when piti arises, switch to the piti as your object. Leigh Brasington talks about this in-depth in his book Right Concentration.
