@cognitivepolicy Thanks Joe, vulnerable share. Interesting to be both an integrator and fragmentor 🫡.
Ik most was others egos, but I'm curious how you grew through that process and what you take responsibility for doing better ?
PS I appreciated your Earth Regenerators work a lot.
This organic farm near Vancouver BC is looking for a manager.
Any permie folks out there that might be interested?
(the gig in the link is not the job, just the same farm)

@leashless@utotranslucence@Malcolm_Ocean@dthorson@MonasticAcademy This was one of my main tensions.. consequences of having children collectively AND minimal time for the path and that feedback loop of well being for ALL. Hell the Buddha walked out on his family, was he a deadbeat dad ? Maybe
@liamckavanagh@RichDecibels@dthorson@MonasticAcademy Well I'm on a roll for soliciting emotional responses at least. It's more a contemplation of am I helping or hurting the world with my decision for children sprinkled with can I do multiples paths fully.

Greg was part of the Residential Member program, an awesome way to experience the @MonasticAcademy.
It's such a gift to live in a place where incredible people like Greg regularly choose to spend time. 🥰

@Malcolm_Ocean@dthorson@MonasticAcademy I don't blame you! The first paragraphs flowed from some dark part of my psyche that was probably mourning. I don't want to swim in that world but actions have consequences, both locally and globally. The more I feel into that, the more the letter lives as a ritual.
@sensefulronin@dthorson@MonasticAcademy Such is the pain of the dharma sometimes Chris. Actions have consequences. More humans have consequences. That doesn't mean I have to live in doom and gloom or that I can't dance in the rain or merge with the clouds in bliss. Hope you're well brother!
My friend wrote about his decision to become a resident at the @MonasticAcademy.
It speaks to the struggle that I & many of my peers are going through -- how to live a life of meaning & whether to bring a child into the world during a planetary crisis.

So I did a gadget free week to come back to an insurrection at the Capitol, twitter banning a sitting president, and bitcoin at $40k. Fuck, Maybe 2020 was only a warm up.
Serenity now....
Don't be satisfied with dreams of transcendence. Practice happens here on the ground where bodies sweat, pain is real, and people bleed and die. If you've been thinking of awakening as something that will get you out of this... I invite you to step up to a new level of maturity.
@KennethFolk For if you look,
You must feel,
If you fully feel,
You must snuggle with it all,
With every cobweb,
And every cave,
With Gaia's songs,
And her screams,
For the unlocked heart mind,
Can not mind what it hearts 💗
@KennethFolk Ohh spiritual trickster,
How you played me,
A devil's bargain,
how could I refuse?
You opened my heart with insight,
Radiating beauty and light,
Yet smuggled in vitality's painful fight,
A primordial battle of day & night
@JaredJanes@cognazor@OortCloudAtlas I don't know his soul making teachings super well, be He seemed to walk the knifes edge. He always emphasized "image is image" , don't reify or fall into some eternalistic this is reality trap. With his level of understanding emptiness, not sure it's a fair critique.
@cognazor@JaredJanes@OortCloudAtlas Words require reification but does reification require words ? I'm thinking knifes edges of say embodied pattern recognition & animism in open awareness (I'm reading David abrams & playing w/ that). Crows aren't talking back tho 🤷
@cognazor@JaredJanes Words require reification but does reification require words ? I'm thinking knifes edge of embodied pattern recognition or even flavors of animism in open awareness (I'm reading David abrams and playing w/ some of that).
@cognazor@JaredJanes This reifying battle Reminds me of @OortCloudAtlas deconstructing the stack series. There's value in playing in the conceptual level *and* phenomenalogical and vibratory levels. They are all ways of looking, just know how you're looking when looking 🙃
