The average person checks their phone 205 times a day. Once every 5 minutes. That's not tool use — that's a virtual habitat. The medium doesn't just carry content. It reshapes the mind that receives it. #media #mentalhealth #attention https://t.co/O8opiECjQy

We treat the #Bible like a history book or an instruction manual, but the ancient world wrote for transformation, not just information. Read why modern #translations get lost in the literal and how we can find the "white fire" in the text. @DrJohnVervaeke

Why do our political conversations feel like existential battles? That’s because we’re not just debating policy. We are defending our gods, our identity and our very selves. @gethuxe @emiledurkheim @DrPaulTillich

#Wisdom begins with recognizing the limits of your #knowledge. It requires ongoing attunement to #reality and certainty shuts that process down. @DrJohnVervaeke

@thatsKAIZEN Well said. “He abused me, he beat me, he defeated me, he robbed me, in those who harbour such thoughts hatred will never cease.” from The Dhammapada Wisdom of the Buddha.
You cannot overcome racism with reverse racism. Hate with more hate.

Letting go is sometimes the only way forward when you are confronted with circumstances beyond your control...1/6 #MindsetShift #GrowthMindset #Perspective #SelfDiscovery #mentalhealth #InnerPeace

Letting go is hard and counter intuitive. I seem to have so much of myself invested in my pain and suffering that I end up holding on rather than letting go...5/6
