The past and brain damage: listener question

The past - I can see why on the one hand it isn’t always true and can change but at the same time if I think about people with alzheimers or brain damage who’s memory is damaged we can’t argue that memories and a sense of time are crucial to live independently and interact with the world. It is dangerous to not have that - forgetting to turn off the gas or where we live.

Confusion reigns. Who is sitting with the feelings?: listener question

Great blog as always...It leaves me with the sense that I'm still not seeing something. There is a sense that what thoughts are 'paid attention to' and which aren't is somehow within 'my' control. What you're saying is that this is not true. There is no 'I' to direct awareness. So there's confusion. In your work I understood we were exploring and noticing the 'programme'. In the noticing and new learning, a new 'programme' is formed. But if there is 'no thing' directing awareness how does this even work?! My misunderstanding - I notice a belief that has unto this point been 'running the show'. In the noticing and being with the feelings, healing happens. A 'new pathway' is formed. But who is doing that? Who is noticing the 'old beliefs' and sitting with the feelings?

Motivation: listener observation

Seeing that we are the awareness watching this mind body system make choices, and there is no impact to make “out there”, I’m really watching my system go into “well what’s the point then”, in a way dissolving any of my past externally driven motivations. I also see how from here it’s just watching the system do the next thing there is to do, including doing nothing or sitting with this confusion. If there’s no world out there to make an impact in, then there’s really the freedom to experience what we’d like to experience next, in a non-attached way being ok if it doesn’t happen. So this observer now becoming creator of next thing this system will experience is what I’m curious about now. Going from “well what’s the point” to “wow there’s only freedom now” I’m sorta getting intellectually, and I’m excited to experience it in an embodied/integrated way! 🥴🤩🤓

How do I deal with overwhelming emotion?

With this understanding we attend so much more to all the things that are happening inside which can lead to very strong experiences and I wonder how to deal with this overwhelming state, especially in situations with other people?

Words and meanings: listener question

Since we all have our separate realities. Words like Peace, Joy, Happiness, etc. are defined differently by each of us with our separate realities. Because our definitions will all be different, are any of the definitions of these thoughts and feelings True/Truthful?

How can I stay in touch with what is going on but still stay in this conversation? Listener question

I’m about to start the Be the Change course and I’m worried what it will do to me. There are so many things I want to change about the world and I feel as someone with values that this is important. I scroll through social media and I see the videos of violence and the confusion out there. It makes me feel sick and anxious and often I can’t sleep for worrying about the state of the world - especially if I have listened to the news late at night. I am worried that you are just going to say well stop scrolling social media, stop listening to the news. I know that will make me feel better but in a way I don’t want to feel better. Why should I feel peaceful when people are suffering? If I stop looking at these feeds then I worry I’ll end up just end up in some sort of removed bubble, not in touch with reality. So I guess my question is how can I stay in touch with what is going on but still stay in this conversation?

Do vegans really care about animals? Listener question

It always surprises me how some of my vegan friends are offensive towards me as someone who eats meat. Is being Vegan really about the love for animals? Well their offensives can go off the roof. Do they really fight for animal rights or just protect their values? This question came from the conclusion that even the most altruistic act is driven by selfishness to get something for the SELF.  Like my own example of going volunteering to the dog shelters. At one point I saw how doing this is for me to get praise and admiration and has little to do with the stray dogs.
