Episode notes
Stop Arguing With Reality
- Loving what is means stop arguing with reality because resisting what already exists guarantees loss.
- Brian Johnson cites Byron Katie: arguing with reality is insane and you lose 100% of the time, like trying to make a cat bark.
Stay In Your Own Business
- Figure out whose business you're in and stay in your own; avoid policing God or others.
- Brian Johnson explains being in God's or someone else's business (complaining about disasters or dictating others) causes needless suffering.
See Suffering As A Compassionate Alarm
- Treat stress and suffering as compassionate alarm clocks that wake you to unresolved work.
- Brian Johnson relays Byron Katie's metaphor: stressful thoughts buzz to reveal areas needing growth and greater consciousness.
