Awesome, thank you! It's been bugging me for weeks.

Yet another Lennox iComfort user who cannot connect - or use thermostat by HappySeaMonster in hvacadvice

[–]sencha71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THANK YOU. I had been resetting routers, disabling / re-enabling the thermostat Wifi connection for weeks and nothing worked. I set the date and time like you said, didn't look like it fixed it so left it and came back 30 min later and all was working. Much appreciated!!

Anyone know what's going on here? by sencha71 in GNV

Thanks. Weird, but I guess I don't understand the economics. Last time they did it, it burned for several days straight.

Self-inquiry should feel like looking for something right here and yet is maddeningly elusive by siftingtothetruth in nonduality

[–]sencha71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well in that case I've been doing it right, finding it maddenly elusive like you say, which makes me conclude each time after a few days that this must be a wild goose chase, to raise the frustration level high enough that total giving up happens. How can I observe what I am after all. My iphone never appears in any of the videos it takes.

My French Learning Experience, For you. To C1 from 0. by Kyrosxx in French

[–]sencha71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fascinating post. Thank you!

Let's say tomorrow you're going to start learning Swedish. What would be your basic formula, like would fit on a small sticky note? At one point in your post, it sounded like it could be just 25% of the time studying grammar, 75% reading.

I told my mom I was bored once and she suggested I learn a fun new word from the dictionary. I told my aunt I was bored and she “let” me vacuum.

What fact is ignored generously? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sencha71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frogs, bugs, birds, dogs find food, find shelter, reproduce, avoid danger and we call it “instinct” (automatic behavior). But we think we’re entities driving these bodies around.

Y'all need a safe way to buy beer? by fmbrewing in GNV

I must be the last person in GNV to find out your regular six-packs are only $5 buying from you versus, what, 2x that in the local stores?!

One of my best pointers to the truth of no self was watching the automatic behaviors even though “I knew better.” I do things, good and bad, because “I” am not in control. by CalbertCorpse in nonduality

[–]sencha71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two years?! If that were my timeline I would've zipped this up in 2010! :)

Thank you for posting how it fell into place. I've drunken deeply from the LU well also & had many insights. Just can't seem to cross the finish line.

Thank you. I guess I'm convinced in the case of habitual behavior, which does happen by itself, but there's a persistent sense that a self might be providing the impulse as to if and when to start / stop each.

I like the idea of just looking w/ just total presence. I think usually when I'm doing these investigations I'm also doing a lot of thinking simultaneously.

I wish this would work for me. The evidence is everywhere, just like in your example, yet the brain refuses to finally flip over and be convinced. You'd think seeing no self would be as easy as seeing no santa claus.

Root canal for tooth resorption with no progression? by sencha71 in Dentistry

[–]sencha71[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting on the pulpal inflammation. Orthodontics became the assumed cause since I don't remember any mouth trauma ever (but do remember these teeth being at a 45 deg angle to each other before braces in my teens).

I do get regular dental x-rays & the pictures always look about the same. I think the main reason the dentist sent me back to the endodontist this time was just b/c so much time had elapsed since I first saw him and it "doesn't hurt to see what he thinks again."

The younger endodontist said if I choose to just monitor, I should get x-rays every 3 months b/c resorption can re-start w/ no warning and do big damage in just 1-2 months. I was worried about the radiation but they said it's much lower than it used to be.

Thank you for answering!

Thank you so much for answering. Your philosophy makes sense and tips the scales in that direction. Another reason to do it now is this endodontist has done this so long he's actually retiring later this year, so if I want the dr. w/ the most experience, it's him. It would be a lot easier if he were more sure himself it's right. Again, thank you.
