its just writing, so let it FLOW

@NeiJingLover Honestly, it left a strong general impact, but I don't remember many specifics.

[Kyle Heath @kyle_writes]

@teachrobotslove Reminds me of a section in verse 35 of the Tao Te Ching:

Thus the Tao speaks
Plain words that make no sense.

@heynibras It's widespread because self-judgement produces useful outcomes. (Not saying it's ideal!)

[Kyle Heath @kyle_writes]

@Tweetophon Everyone knows Abraham Lincoln said that.

[Kyle Heath @kyle_writes]

@vividvoid Thank you!

[Kyle Heath @kyle_writes]

@dimitripilled I think it boils down to attention, right?

[Kyle Heath @kyle_writes]

@NeiJingLover @nobuhojimichaan Then covid hit, my energy and psychology tanked, and after meditation helped the psychology, I thought "I wonder if 'energy work' could help my energy." Been practicing ever since!

[Kyle Heath @kyle_writes]

@NeiJingLover @nobuhojimichaan I heartily agree ♥️ 5 years ago I had ZERO connection to anything remotely eastern-spiritual. But I came across zhan zhuang somehow as something to help with tennis elbow, which was severely hindering my painting at the time...

[Kyle Heath @kyle_writes]

@NeiJingLover @nobuhojimichaan I've learned from it--so thank you very much!!

[Kyle Heath @kyle_writes]

@NeiJingLover @nobuhojimichaan Thanks for all you share on x, by the way. I've noticed you show a lot of intentionality in planting and nurturing conversation. You're good at asking questions that engage people on their terms and bring them out. Its, like, hospitality almost!

[Kyle Heath @kyle_writes]

@NeiJingLover @nobuhojimichaan Grace, for sure. Even the old dogmas still move me to tears, because it reminds me of what I see by its means. Practice-wise: meditation. Though I'm so unskilled it feels like a huge exxagerrarion to call it that! How did you discover Daoism? Did you try other systems first?

[Kyle Heath @kyle_writes]

@nobuhojimichaan @NeiJingLover How do you think people can find this union outside of dogma? (Not disagreeing)

[Kyle Heath @kyle_writes]

@NeiJingLover @nobuhojimichaan I love hearing people's definitions of these things--thank you for sharing how it seems to you!

[Kyle Heath @kyle_writes]

@NeiJingLover @nobuhojimichaan Me too :)

[Kyle Heath @kyle_writes]

@nobuhojimichaan @NeiJingLover Yes this is probably true--Christianity can lack the sense of "Heaven treats men like straw-dogs". And yet in my experience the Christian take on the heart is underestimated.

[Kyle Heath @kyle_writes]

@NeiJingLover @nobuhojimichaan lol, not that I don't get worked up over them all the time, of course...but you know what I mean! 😝

[Kyle Heath @kyle_writes]

@NeiJingLover @nobuhojimichaan And it has forever changed my relationship towards ideas/philosophies/words of any kind. To me now, they just seem like calendars conpared to the real day. They're damn useful, but if they don't happen to suit me, why get worked up like they inherently mean anything at all?
