It’s 2028, you wake up one day and realise the past 8 years were a dream. You remember you’re a 17 year old student in the Guangzhou province of China. It’s the beginning of summer and on an evening with a beautiful sunset Guangzhou fine shyt looks you in your eyes and kisses you before you know it.
At this time there no stress of grades, government, or suicidal thoughts, it’s only the feeling of her lips that stay with you
You realise you are in 天堂

I did one of these 10 day retreats as a young person in crypto who says the hard r on a regular basis and had all of the prejudices against it as you could imagine
Food, not talking to people, stinky hippies, sitting etc
The thing is that when you are actually there these things become obsolete, or you don't really mind them or whatever (except for the food ngl lol)
The meditation sessions also start to pass extremely quick after the 2nd day
And on the last day you're allowed to talk to people so you're talking for 10h+ about the experience you've had
It's also truly a different effect than doing your own kind of retreat as I've done days without internet etc as well, but le Jord retreat from what I've read from ur article give a lot of benefits in itself
I'd say the meditation helps a ton if you're plagued by your own mind, or want a "full reset" - kind of being reborn - le Jord retreat would be more of a reboot
The way he's completely out of touch with reality depersonalising testing extreme moral boundaries to affirm his nihilistic worldview alongside his occasional mental breakdowns trying to get someone to hear him out but never being successful or capable of being understood by anyone else is so tuff
Over two thousand years ago, someone asked Confucius a profoundly "people-pleasing" question: "If someone treats you badly, should you repay them with kindness?"
Confucius immediately and ruthlessly countered: "Then what will you repay kindness with? Repay injury with justice, and repay kindness with kindness!"
Confucianism is brutally clear: If you remain kind to those who are mean to you, is it fair to those who are genuinely good to you? Your "niceness" isn't seen as grace by nasty people; it is seen as "cheap weakness" and a permit to continue mistreating you.
"Repaying injury with justice" means responding to toxic people with the most objective, coldest boundaries. No revenge, but absolutely no false warmth either.
Your kindness is a premium currency; stop spending it on those who counterfeit your respect. Kindness without teeth is just weakness. Withholding your "goodness" from toxic people is the ultimate "fairness" to those who truly love you.

In Eastern medicine and Taoist practice, amputating necrotic tissue (toxic connections) is never celebrated as a victory; it is a tearful, desperate rescue mission.
The grief you are experiencing is known in medicine as "phantom limb pain." Your intellect (the surgeon) severed the connection to stop the toxin from spreading and save your life; but your nerves (emotions) are still subconsciously trying to feel the limb that is no longer there.
Zhuangzi spoke of the "warrior severing his own wrist." The pain is agonizing, but if he doesn't cut it off, the poison will reach his heart.
Don't let the pain of the "phantom limb" make you doubt the decision to "sever the wrist." The pain is proof that your body is rebuilding a healthy circulation; if you hadn't cut it off, you wouldn't even have the luxury of feeling pain—you would just march toward numbness and death.
