@KennethFolk @prasanna_says He is probably the best example of urgency of right effort too.

[Divya Haritwal @DivyaHaritwal]

@prasanna_says @KennethFolk Bahiya Sutta is the only one that I recall from my limited reading where someone became arahant listening to Buddha just once. Most of others either received the teachings many times along with their practice or became sotapanna on first hearing.

what therapy has given me is the ability to communicate better even when in extremely difficult situations or when I’m feeling super triggered. what mindfulness has given me is the ability to feel baseline calmer and happier

[Divya Haritwal @DivyaHaritwal]

@ftlsid Few things that can help here
1. Look up 16 nanas/7 stages of purification (helps understand where you are and what to focus on)
2. Incorporate metta based meditation. Helps creating higher sense of ease outside of practice even with baseline adaption.

Comfort zone ≠ comfortable. It’s just familiar territory. Happiness requires effort until it becomes effortless to put the effort.

[Captain Pleasure, Andrés Gómez Emilsson @algekalipso]

I think a lot of neurotic unhappy people who cultivate such unhappiness (rather than, say, due to chronic pain or recent family deaths) see happy people and wonder "they must be taking the easy road, you're not supposed to be happy like that".

But often what I notice is that being unhappy is really the result of taking the easy road (keep doing the same mental moves, the same cozy unhappiness, never challenging the chronic factors that keep you down) and that really happy people are actually taking the brave, effortful path instead. This is definitely the sense one gets when one starts to do Jhana practice in earnest (much less so during period where it feels effortless, which flips the script).

Cultivation of Brahmviharas is a efficient and imo faster way to develop these skills specially wrt altruism and sublimation

[Kevin Bass @kevinnbass]

In the Harvard Grant Study, the world’s longest running and most comprehensive psychological study, the five most mature, healthy defense mechanisms associated with higher life satisfaction were:

1. Altruism: focusing on others’ wellbeing

2. Humor: making light of difficult or stressful events or experiences

3. Sublimation: turning anger or frustration into productive energy

4. Anticipation: maintaining a realistic view of the future and its difficulties

5. Suppression: consciously suppressing unproductive and distressing thoughts

@omnamaste @TimGiro69 @algekalipso It is a practice yes, but over a period of time it becomes a general way of being (in my experience) or in other words “achievement of a state”.

[Divya Haritwal @DivyaHaritwal]

@VidyaLohith @Vaishnavioffl Can you please elaborate the components?

[Ruben Laukkonen @RubenLaukkonen]

Our new paper is about the most scientifically bewildering state in meditation. If we figure this one out it’s a goldmine for consciousness research, possibly revealing about human hibernation, or useful for space travel. Who knows. Here's the wild story 👇

[Josh @JoshuaLelon]

Blown away by the realization that I don’t have to motivate myself to do anything.

I just have to make myself feel safe enough to do it, and I’ll just start doing it.

If I want to do it but I’m blocked, it’s not a motivation problem, it’s a nervous system problem

Refusing to consider information that counters your preconceptions... isn't skepticism. It's fear.
