A previously LIVE youtube discussion of the unspeakable 😂 Here without those annoying ads 👍
While immersed in Flushing NY's seriously Chinese vibes, my kids bought a shit-ton of weird-ass snacks and then tried to recreate some random Chinese TikTok video they are obsessed with: https://www.tiktok.com/@gildrtsy/video/7405511542667545861?_r=1&_t=ZP-8y7QlZyNCxz
The result? This 😆
Hanging in a traditional Japanese (traditional) machiya house, very roomy (by hotel room comparison), traditional futon beds, pour coffee. A super cool experience! Even sporting the Z-Merch! (pics in comments)
From Sunday Zen on YouTube! Enjoy ❤️
Let's dive deep into the themes of trust, surrender, and the Threads of Awakening model introduced by Dr. Pierce Salguero in this live episode of Sunday Zen.
I've been reflecting on how traditional spiritual models can leave us feeling lost, stuck, or even scared, and how Pierce's approach offers a more inclusive framework that resonates with my own experiences.
We share insights on the different threads—emptiness, energy, unity, and psyche—and how they manifest in our lives.

Don’t begin a new dream with thought - you won’t
Only when you STOP the dream - do you SEE it is a dream
But WHO would stop it - even for a moment?
Who would stop the suffering of the dream?
Witness the love - the truth and purpose - both the dreamer and the dream as one

We have a broken men problem. If men aren't broken, a lot of the violence goes away. If men aren't broken, no one would join the ranks of militant oppression and build internment camps. Some may find fighting the patriarchy to be a worthy thing to do, but broken men is often the result with all its attendant consequence.
