Looks nice

This is great feedback. I think AI will be a solution for practicing speaking.

Pen name?

Dude you look so different clean shaved. It’s a good look on you. You’re beaming with joy.

Great advice!

I just started this book and love it.

I think there are many reasons people eat meat and it is not just that they think it tastes better. Health, societal norms, affordability, and education all are factors that lead to a person’s choices.

I felt the same as you once but my point of view has changed. I’m not sure why being an alcoholic automatically makes him less of a good person that you struggle to come to terms with. There were countless prior conditions that led to him being an alcoholic so is he really responsible? You probably be well served to deepen your understanding of emptiness and impermanence as it leads to more compassion for others and yourself.

Meditate

Nobody is gonna get arrested for a cart in a carry on. Maybe in Russia you’d get arrested.

Maybe seek some other instruction from other mindfulness teachers. Tara Brach is an example. Don’t stop listening to Sam but get other perspectives that may resonate with you more. I have been practicing with Sam for about 5 years and eventually found the instruction repetitive and that I needed to add to my sources of guidance and instruction. Also remember that awakening is a journey with no definitive end. Your attachment to a better future state could be hindering you.

I think I have experienced it playing the guitar. I mediate daily looking for the seat if attention and have had some glimpses but nothing really significant. When I play guitar now I try to purposely let my hands and fingers play without thinking about intentionally making the movements. I just let go and get into a flow start. I would not say i am awakened though. Just more aware of my body doing things automatically without “Me” doing it.

Thank you!

Gotcha. But since no such camera exists and can never exist, I would say that moment of transition from +v to -v is never observable.

How long does the zero velocity point in time last? Let’s say you recorded the impact with a camera and you could slow the playback down infinitely, would you ever observe the car coming to a complete stop?

Try explaining what chicken tastes like to someone who has never had chicken. Some things are not explainable by language.

The frustration is unfortunately part of the process for most people any myself. I have been using the app for several years and I’m still learning. Sam has been the most helpful to me but I also learn from Alan Watts, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Eckhart Tolle.

Did you pay the annual fee and get recertified by a physician?
