All models are wrong, but some can be useful ;-)
My friend Pierce Salguero has a pretty rad one, I've talked about it on previous videos, and he's finally written some of it up on a website, with a book for beginners coming out soon as well (also on the website). Enjoy and let me know if any of these threads resonate with where YOU find yourself currently. https://multidharma.net/maps-and-territories/
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!
