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.

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 😉

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.

The most unhinged thing about modern life is that we've normalised paying $200 a month for the gym and $300 a month for wellness "supplements" but if someone charges $5 for a newsletter they wrote with their actual brain people act like they've been mugged at knifepoint
in reply to JA Westenberg

because those subscriptions are something we should each be paying for 20 of and can't decide, and then end up wanting to consume something else that was recommended to us. And it happens every day. kinda like paying for streaming and finding out all your friends are watching something on the one service you don't pay for.

we have a media payment ecosystem that doesn't track with what comes in via social media.

"The study shows that current reforestation practices are on the wrong track – both here in Denmark, where subsidies are only granted for planting dense forests, and elsewhere in Europe. This will not only be harmful for biodiversity; it will be in direct contradiction to the type of ecosystems that Europe’s species have evolved in over millions of years."

"Every family should have a family preparedness plan in case of an emergency. It is equally critical for immigrant families to think ahead and set more concrete plans for immigration-related emergencies that may arise.

To assist in this, we've created this toolkit that goes into detail about different childcare options available in case of an absent parent, how to find trusted immigration services in your community, and how to prepare to assert your constitutional rights in the presence of an immigration officer."

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.

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.

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.

We know to cooperate with the nation, from which we are going to gain our livelihood, or with an idea for a utopia, because that is going to profit us. We know cooperation under authority, which is compulsion and conformity. But the cooperation we are talking about is entirely different. That cooperation comes only when you care. ‘Care’ is a very simple word, but it has a deep meaning – to care for somebody, to care for a tree, to care for a bird. But we do not care. Please, I am not moralising, I am merely pointing out how important it is to live in this world with care. To care for the room in which you are living, to care how you eat, what your behaviour is, what your manners are.

Love how "elitist" now just means "has the audacity to know things." Went to university? Elitist. Read a book? Elitist. Can point to a country on a map? Elitist. Meanwhile a man with a gold toilet is a man of the people.

Have you ever woken up in the morning and looked out of the window, or gone out and looked at the trees and the spring dawn? Live with it. Listen to all the sounds, to the whisper, the slight breeze among the leaves. See the light on a leaf and watch the sun coming over the hill, over the meadow; and the dry river, or sheep grazing across the hill. Watch them, look at them with a sense of affection and care, that you do not want to hurt a thing. When you have such communion with nature, your relationship with another person becomes simple, clear and without conflict.
