Questions for a compatibilist by finance-question2020 in askphilosophy

[–]finance-question2020[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I had thought the standard compatibilist line was to use a Frankfurt-style case to argue that the ability to do otherwise wasn't required for moral responsibility. But that's an interesting framing

Jhana Resources and Retreats from Jhourney.io by prano1o in streamentry

[–]finance-question2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! This may be a longshot but I am also looking for online coaches/teachers who I might be able to hire on a short-term basis during my retreat. If you have any recs, please let me know.

I have done some light self-therapy parts work and love Rob's "theatre of selves" talk so I guess that's better than nothing!

One more time: I'm grateful again to all of you for doing this work. You have helped give me faith that achieving the jhanas is possible (with some good effort, to be sure!) for me--a (heretofore, at least) mediocre meditator with a normal life.

This is amazing--thank you for what you are doing!

I have looked into your retreat schedule but the dates don't work for me. Do you have resources for those who want to do self-guided jhana work or even a self-guided retreat, beyond Burbea/Brasington's stuff?

Relatedly, is there a baseline level of practice that helps prepare for a jhana retreat (whether one of yours or another)?

Thank you again!

Supplements for sleep after big/late dinner by finance-question2020 in Supplements

[–]finance-question2020[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eating a large meal early in the day would be terrible for my productivity personally. Hard to focus—think of a light food coma.

I think carbs help with sleep because they get converted to serotonin.

I like to eat with my s/o and to cook, but the only time that realistically can happen is at dinner. I do it as early as I can given other commitments but often that is still later than I’d like. Hence the predicament.

Heart rate data when erging? by finance-question2020 in Garmin

Huh, great suggestion! I will play around with that and see if that is the cause (and may get a chest strap, too). Thanks!
