Michael systematizes 9/10 Life Satisfaction
@Plus3Happiness
solving suffering at scale @PSHInstitute 🪷 happiness redesign via buddhist fetters/somatic practices @9of10Labs my writing is not mental advice
Fetters Fireside #1 is live! Together with @yanda, we've discussed the breaking of the first five Buddhist Fetters. A few topics we approached: 🔹the impact of meditation & fetters on ambition 🔹feeling of agency after awakening 🔹the difference between breaking…
to detail: everyone at anytime is both doing what they think would benefit them (win-win still presuposes personal benefit and sacrifice is self-satisfying) and also what they understand as best in the situation
my most useful outlook on relationships lately has been 'all are just doing -their best-' and i mean this in both interpretation

what a wonderful notification on a monday!
thanks to @Plus3Happiness for teaching me this. you should all book a session with him
the best CogSec is just not confusing sense experience and abstraction
huh, fantasy? what you mean?
Fantasy setting where a sizable percentage of all people feel 9/10 by default but never talk about it because of how bad the reaction is each time they did
one thing that has been hard to communicate, or rather for the interlocutor to believe, is that once reactivity is broken, you enjoy the benefits for the next 30-50-70 years, whatever. and it sounds 'too good to be the case'. and yet...
enlightenment is the process of turning all the context back into content
there is no MBA for happiness... or is there?!😌
SF mutuals, kinda short notice, if you happen to know of a coliving/grouphouse/subletting situation for ~Aug 9 - Sept 5, would be grateful! 😁 the plan materialized in the space of possibilities just recently, can potentially move the trip towards Sept-Oct but id prefer not

mini retreat is an exploration started from a conv with @yanda (who's joining in case we fill the other 4 slots) about 'what would make a 10x retreat over what's now available' it's a combo of practicing, discussing dharma stuff w/ folks that are looking for the same wellbeing…

nirodha samapatti but not for the usual benefits but for making trans-atlantic flights feel shorter. who's working on this??
#1: stop giving it cool names #2: notice that your experience is just sensations and some thoughts #3: notice that all unpleasant emotions are just arising, like hiccups #4: see that compared to actually pain (break a leg), it s not bad #5: feel sensations out, disregard…
hey does anyone know what's supposed to go in the gaping void??? i've tried art and music and friendship and regular career and artistic career and romance and drinking but they don't quite fit
a lot of meditation techniques peddled around are like that one scene from american psycho
there are 5-6 folks close to breaking reactivity which means i'm soon about to record at least Fetters Fireside ep #2, ++ maybe
looks like I broke reactivity chat. can't trigger myself to suffer emotionally no matter how hard I try
