Human-caused climate change is increasing the risk of hotter temperatures, including these dangerous heat waves. Watch the entire distribution shift to the right.

I'm afraid these headlines about record heat are only going to become more common. 🌡️

Through self-awareness, the pattern, the copy, the habit, the conditioned thought is discovered. This perception begins to free thought-feeling from bondage, from ignorance. Through constant awareness and self-knowledge, which bring about right thinking, there is that creative stillness of reality. The craving for security brings about conditioned thought; to seek certainty is to find it, but it is not the real. Highest wisdom comes with that creative stillness of the mind-heart.

During May 2026, all latitude bands observed temperatures that were warmer than the 1951-1980 climate baseline. This was especially large in the Antarctic.

There are not only small habits like fiddling with one’s fingers, but also sexual habits, habits of patterns of thought, and various activities. I think this, I conclude this, and that has become a habit. I live in habits; my whole life is a structure of habits. How is the mind to be aware of the entire mechanism of habit? One has a thousand and one habits: the way you brush your teeth, comb your hair, the way you read, the way you walk. One of the habits is wanting to become famous or wanting to become important. How is the mind to become aware of all these habits? Is it to become aware of one habit after another? Do you know how long that would take? I could spend the rest of my days watching each habit and yet not solve it. I am going to learn about it, I am going to find out; I’m not going to leave it. I am asking: is it possible for the mind to see the whole network of habits?

One cannot go beyond thought, for the ‘one’, the maker of effort, is the result of thought. In uncovering the thought process, which is self-knowledge, the truth of ‘what is’ puts an end to the thought process. The truth of ‘what is’ is not to be found in any book, ancient or modern. What is found is the word, but not truth. One cannot find truth. The effort to find truth brings about a self-projected end, and that end is not truth. A result is not truth; a result is the continuation of thought, extended or projected. Only when thought ends is there truth. There is no ending of thought through compulsion, through discipline, through any form of resistance. Listening to the story of ‘what is’ brings its own liberation. It is truth that liberates, not the effort to be free.

Do you think a plan, a glorified blueprint, can liberate man from his bondages, making him happy? Must he not exert himself to extricate himself from his own self-enclosing limitations and hindrances? He has created his own sorrow, and he alone can transcend his own creation. The means, the technique, to realise the eternal is to comprehend and master himself. Self-knowledge cultivates right thinking, and this knowledge is not to be bought through the worship of another, or through the authority of another, or through any ritual or prayer; nor does it lie in any book or in any church. It is to be discovered and nurtured through self-awareness of your thoughts-feelings. It is a strenuous ‘path’ to walk, and though there be many signposts, each must discern, with heightened intelligence and watchfulness.

CHILD

Children get a lot of things wrong: they cannot understand all kinds of nuances and considerations that belong to the adult world. But there are also ways in which children know things that adults routinely forget, which is why their perspective deserves to be brought to bear on many of our sharpest dilemmas. To generalise, children tend to care more about love and cosiness than fame and power. They want things to be fun. They are innately very forgiving; they make a lot of mistakes and consider them a natural part of how things go. They’re innocent and tender. They are easily moved. They’re sentimental. They are often attuned to the suffering of others. They can be very caring to those who love them. It can be helpful, when struggling with a dilemma, to ask oneself how a child might see it.

DEATH

The largest, but always easily forgotten, certainty is that all our decisions are unfolding against the backdrop of a giant ticking death clock. We should listen to its beat and take its daunting messages to heart. The thought of Death has a habit of highlighting our responsibilities to ourselves and of weakening our concern for living according to what is expected of us by society. It is a terrifying agent of authenticity. Death may lend us a perverse new sort of confidence to tackle challenges. By frightening us about one enormous thing, it may make us less scared of the many smaller obstacles in our way. Our lives will not be what they could be unless we submit pretty much every choice we face to the arbiter of eternity and oblivion. The thought of Death is the guarantor of the meaningfulness of our lives.

Every human being is wounded both psychologically and physically. It is comparatively easy to deal with physical pain, but the psychological pain remains hidden. The consequence of the psychological wound is to build a wall around oneself, to resist further pain, and so become fearful or withdraw into isolation. The wound has been caused by the image of the ‘me’ with its limited energy. Because it is limited, it is hurt. That which is not measurable can never be damaged, can never be corrupted. Anything that is limited can be hurt, but that which is whole is beyond the reach of thought.
