Episode notes
Millman's Example Of Fluctuating States
- Brian references Dan Millman's line that people vary between more or less enlightened moments.
- He uses that example to challenge the myth of permanently enlightened beings.
Enlightenment Is Momentary
- Dan Millman argues there are no permanently enlightened people, only varying moments of enlightenment.
- This reframes growth as increasing the frequency of enlightened moments rather than achieving final perfection.
Practice Enlightenment Now
- Don't wait to be perfect; practice creating enlightened moments in daily life.
- Close the gap by acting now and stringing together more enlightened moments each day.
