Why is the mind chattering, with never a moment when it is quiet, never a moment when there is complete freedom from problems? That mental occupation is the result of your education, of the social nature of your life. But when you realise that your mind is chattering and look at it, staying with it, you will see what happens. Your mind is chattering – all right, watch it. You say, ‘All right, chatter’ – you are attending, which means you are not trying not to chatter, not saying, ‘I must not,’ not suppressing it, you are just attending to chattering. If you do, you will see what happens: your mind is clear. That is probably the state of a healthy human being.

The paradox is built in—the moment you 'try' to achieve quietness, you've already created the opposite. It's like trying to hold water; the tighter the grip, the more it escapes. This connects to Csikszentmihalyi's flow state: the mind is clearest when we're fully engaged without self-consciousness. Not trying to quiet it, just... attending.

It is good to be lazy, in the sense of not being incessantly active like an ant or monkey, everlastingly doing something. Most of our minds are everlastingly occupied with words, with problems, with ideas and issues – always chattering to itself, never lazy, never quiet, always under a tension. A mind that is not indolent but has quietude, in its very gentleness, perceives in a flash what is true. That laziness, that indolence, that sense of infinite leisure is not to be confused with comfort. A mind that has leisure is an extraordinary mind, because then it is not caught up in the net of action, it is not everlastingly chattering with itself or about something.

How to Shower during a Thru-Hike (in the cold!)


In this video I explain how to stay clean during a thru-hike, even when you have no access to a shower or any large body of water, and even when it is very cold outside and the water is freezing!

I did this the whole way across the Spanish Pyrenees on the GR11 thru-hike and it worked like a charm 😉

Inwardly, in our minds and hearts, we are very confused. There is no security for ourselves or for future generations. Religions have divided human beings as Christians, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, etc. Considering all this, observing objectively, calmly without prejudice, it is naturally important that together we think about it all. Think together, not having opinions opposing other sets of opinions, not having one conclusion against another conclusion, one ideal against another ideal, but thinking together and seeing what we human beings can do. The crisis is not in the economic world, nor in the political world; the crisis is in consciousness. I think very few of us realise this.

Geen Europese ICE! Help ons massadeportaties te stoppen.

Binnen een paar dagen stemt het Europese Parlement over een wet die massadeportaties invoeren. Het is een kopietje van de ellende die we in de VS zien.

It is important to learn the art of thinking together. All of us think, but we think according to our profession, specialisation, or according to our beliefs and experiences. We all think, objectively or according to our own inclinations, but we never seem to think together, to observe together. We may think about a particular problem or an experience, but this thinking does not go beyond its own limitation. Thinking together, not about a particular subject, but having the capacity to think together, is entirely different. To think together is necessary when you are facing the great crisis that is taking place in the world, the danger, the terror and the ultimate brutality of war. To observe this, not as a capitalist or socialist, not from the extreme left or extreme right, but to observe it together, demands not only that we comprehend how we have come to this rotten state, but also that together we perceive a way out.

Canada losing parliamentary process, bills now pass without voting thanks to "one weird trick"

What does it mean to cooperate – not the word but the spirit of it? You cannot cooperate with another, with the earth and its waters, unless you in yourself are harmonious, not broken up, not contradictory. You cannot cooperate if you yourself are under strain, pressure or conflict. How can you cooperate with the universe if you are concerned with yourself, your problems, your ambitions? There can be no cooperation if all your activities are self-centred and you are occupied with your own selfishness, with your own secret desires and pleasures. As long as the intellect with its thoughts dominates your actions, there can be no cooperation, for thought is partial, narrow and everlastingly divisive. Cooperation demands great honesty.

Good morning from planet Earth

Instead of humans being tribal, religious lunatics, trade fanatics and war thirsty, they should by now have created a paradise on Earth. Understand their fantastic story and how we are all connected to the other creatures, to the Earth and the universe, in a purely scientific way.

To use our resources to provide for all. To send rockets to the outer space to explore instead to send them on Earth to kill more. To fight with diseases, not with each other.

To grow our minds. Be busy with being smart and curious.

Instead this species is a total shitshow. Bunch of tribes with rockets.

Pathetic.
