We are concerned with observing the actual facts, the âwhat isâ. To observe âwhat isâ very clearly and to see the full significance of those facts, we must look at it without our conditioning. That is where the difficulty is going to lie, because you have opinions, you have values, you approach them as a Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, or what you will, with your nationality, with your peculiar idiosyncrasies, and these prevent you from observing, from looking. Observation is an art. It is not easily learnt. One has observed neither the sunset nor the stars, neither the trees nor the facts, outwardly or inwardly. So, if we are going to travel together â and I hope we will â we have to observe scientifically, ruthlessly and with great intelligence.

This is my home
Oh no, this is my home:
Ot this?
Or this:
Or anywhere I can go with the motorhome.
For the past year I've been living in a motorhome. And my life changed so much. At times I love it, at times I am stressed and tired. But overall I think is the best life I can afford to live in today's society. I will make a video about this and about many things for our RideWithLess Peertube channel videos.trom.tf/c/ridewithless/âŠ

A exposição constante a conteĂșdos alarmistas nas redes sociai
Nosso cérebro e nosso corpo reagem como se o perigo fosse imediato, mesmo quando não é. Isso provoca ansiedade, tensão muscular, dificuldade de concentração e um cansaço que muitas vezes não sabemos explicar.

Mas consumo excessivo de medo nĂŁo Ă© preparação â Ă© sobrecarga.
Escolher o que assistir, quando assistir e quando parar também é um ato de cuida

To listen with judgment, comparing what we hear with what we already know or have read, is a form of distraction. But if we can listen without comparison, with effortless attention, then that very listening is an act of meditation which brings about a deep transformation. Try observing yourself sometimes to see if you ever really listen to anything, to what your friends say, to what your wife or husband says, to what your boss says, and you will find that your mind is not there at all. You pretend to listen, but you are only half listening; either you are frightened, or bored, or you just donât want to listen, so there is no direct communication. Listening in itself brings about an extraordinary miracle. The very act of listening produces an immense understanding without any effort on your part; and since you are here and I am talking, I would suggest, if I may, that you listen to find out what it is I am trying to convey.

So we are going to talk over together like two friends discussing a problem, neither one trying to persuade the other to accept or to discard. And to talk over together, both must listen, and that is going to be our difficulty. Listening is one of the most difficult things to do. We never listen. We are listening to our own thoughts, to our own ideas, to our own concepts, to the ways of how we should or should not behave. We are concerned with our own occupations, with our own problems, with our own sorrows, and we have our own answers and explanations; or we have the explanations and the sayings of another whom we respect or whom we are afraid of â which is the same thing. The act of listening is really one of the most difficult things to do.

in reply to Tio • • •demesys.org/ (translated "attention")
Translated slogan "Where do you direct your attention?"
It is visualizations about troubles & solutions.
First was about authoritarian power seek: demesys.org/beda-autoritaru-gaâŠ
Second was about psychopathy: demesys.org/beda-psichopatija
Third will be either about political manipulation (another serious trouble), or more likely, will be first solution.
