A 🤯 talk with a wonderful teacher and health psychologist, John Astin (recently on Sam Harris's Waking Up podcast and app), talking about the non-dual, vibrant, and indescribable nature of reality itself. Break free from the prison of purely conceptual thinking and see what's right in front of us, here and now 🔥
I came home from work the other afternoon to find this precious trio (with mom) standing to the right of my driveway. They were so tiny! So cute!
In the middle of the night when your past misdeeds come back to berate you, you should do two things:
1. Honor the lessons and realize that it is because you're a better person now and be thankful of that!
2. See that persons who do harms against you and others are harming themselves more. Others are as yourself in the need compassion. Just as you needed compassion when you were in dark times, everyone needs compassion.
We are all a moment. We are not :that" moment, or a "future" moment. We are "this" moment!
