Warning: Once you see this monk's 3-minute demonstration on "how to stop thinking," you can't unsee it.

Ajahn Brahm says:

"Your mind never actually stops. It just fills every gap you fail to notice."

His demonstration works because he exploits something neuroscience has quietly confirmed for years that "the thinking mind cannot generate thought and pay full attention at the same time."

Attention and cognition compete for the same neural real estate. When one runs at full volume, the other goes quiet.

Most people never experience mental silence because they've never once given attention *anything* to fully occupy it with.

What Brahm does in those 3 minutes is deceptively simple.

He asks you to listen to the *gaps between his words*.

The silence between syllables. The pause between sentences. And the moment you shift your attention to those gaps, your internal narrator goes quiet.

The reason is you directed your awareness with such precision that it fully engaged your attention and left no room for extra commentary.

Meditation traditions have circled this insight for 2,500 years.

The Pali term for mental chatter is *prapañca.*
Transaltion: Conceptual proliferation.

One thought spawns another, which spawns three more, and within seconds you're rehearsing an argument from 2014.

Brahm's technique interrupts the mechanism at its source. You cannot proliferate thought while genuinely tracking silence, because silence has no content for the mind to grab onto and multiply.

This is why most meditation instruction fails people. They're told to "clear the mind," which is like being told not to think of a polar bear. The very act of trying activates the machinery it's supposed to silence. Brahm inverts the entire approach.

Instead of asking you to stop, he asks to divert your attention somewhere so refined to rest that stopping happens on its own, as a side effect.

There's a deeper reason this demonstration hits so hard.

Modern life has trained our nervous systems to treat silence as a threat that must be filled with a podcast, a scroll, a snack, a plan.

We've forgotten that silence is the medium consciousness actually rests in. Sound is the interruption. It's not the other way around.

Once you experience even 5 seconds of genuine internal quiet, your relationship with your own thoughts permanently shifts. You stop believing every mental voice is *you*. You start noticing there's a witness underneath the chatter that was never anxious to begin with.

Please throw in your thoughts on this.

"There are still people in jail for stuff that people are boasting about doing online currently."

Spoke w/the great @rosariodawson about @drinkcann's campaign to stop the hemp ban, cannabis equity & where legalization fell short.

.@MuckSticky has been wearing pajamas for 24 years, and he’s built a whole philosophy (and now his herb brand) around comfort, freedom and not caring about the rules.

Fun fact: He got a Guinness World Record in 2024 for “the most albums released on the same day by a single artist”. That’s around 10 albums in a single drop!

[Javier Hasse @JavierHasse]

.@MuckSticky has worn pajamas for 24 years and says weed, comfort and radical self-acceptance may be the last real freedom left.

@hernanpanessi's new @HIGH_TIMES_Mag piece gets into creativity, anti-productivity and why the pajamas are the point.

I truly believe cannabis is a special plant given to us by nature that fits right into our founding. “Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Right? Cannabis saves lives, increases liberty and certainly brings many people happiness.

Seth Rogen says the best decision he’s made is not having children, adding it’s a big reason for his success and that it lets him do things most parents can’t, saying he’s been around plenty of kids and knows it’s not for him 🤔👀

"This world doesn't need more children."
