walking home with you
collecting love, a thread of what people have tweeted about me or their explorations with me 🧵🥰
i like how @meditationstuff talks about it
The long-term goal of my spiritual practice is to be Normal Guy Plus. I don't want to have weird meditator vibes or radiate transcendent serenity or whatever, I want people to meet me and think, "huh, he is a little kinder and more honest than I would expect"
hmm maybe other reason I stopped arguing on the internet is that I found belonging here, and I do not want that belonging to be threatened i should try picking some fights and see how it goes 😼📰
I’m an opinionated man. I used to be a VERY opinionated man, tightly attaching my identity to a lot of ideas and views. Especially on the internet. I learned to let go of that, learned to enjoy the pleasures of not-knowing, and the world now feels much more alive. But maybe, on…
Hi, I turn 30 today and want some attention please 😁 What vibes do you associate with me? (Feel free to drop words or images or music or videos or emojis)
U.S.-based doctor Marcella Jewell provides a horrifying breakdown of what impact starvation will have on Palestinian children and how simply ‘giving them food’ will not fix the problem. This starvation has been meant to- and will -wipe out a generation of Palestinian children.
my delusion of grandeur is that with this project I'm curating and crafting what is going to be one of the most important cultural artefacts of the 21st century, no cap
I've been intermittently working on this over the last couple years, and feel like I'm ready to bring it all together. I have collected 500+ tpot tweets, and clustered them into varying themes. I feel it's going to make a powerful beautiful coffee table book. I'm definitely…

I’ve got a side project which is going to be a scrapbook full of tweets like those, a homage to all of you insightful bastards ♥️
I did one of these with Pranab yesterday, and here's what I loved (as someone who struggles with ADHD): - I get distracted through very subtle fast impulses, and Pranab's sensitivity to the subtleties was super helpful, to track micro tensions in my experience - The relaxation…
I’m launching Attentional Copiloting sessions! tldr: Within an hour, go from stuckness to flow to joy on your most important work Origin story: In 2023, I was in an intense period of burnout, and I was procrastinating much more than usual. I had this one project - important but…
i neglected my personal flavors of embodiment, getting caught up in "ideas" of embodiment
i had a couple of before vs after split moments. living in the old way seems inconceivable after the split there’s two i can share right now. one was coming out to my parents. another one was my session with @nowtheo
(David Whyte + Mark Lippmann + Joe Hudson + Rob Burbea + Jacob Collier) / 5
(Daft Punk + Marc Rebillet + Mr. Rogers + Thích Nhất Hạnh) / 4
You can start with attending to any knot or tension, and sensing into what that tension is anticipating. And then letting yourself imagine the world where that threat/danger is very much real. What are other beings like in that world? What resources are scarce there? What is…
Another fun one: close your eyes and ask that part “if you were a world, what would you be?” Then enter that world and explore it. @nowtheo led me through an imaginal exploration like this and it was wild.

i feel there's a slight nuance to this that what we are really trying to avoid is the unknown. and it's preferable for some parts of us to recreate situation where we feel familiar pain (even if we are trying to avoid it).
joe hudson: you invite the very feeling you’re trying to avoid (the golden algorithm) my IFS teacher last year: protectors eventually end up creating the very situation they’re desperately trying to prevent. example below:
my ADHD mind often gets confused, stuck and caught up in figuring out what I need to do in any given moment (to build and run my coaching practice). maybe all I need to do is write and sit in silence, alternating between the two. the writing can be of different kinds:…
it seems like you are being a little bit harsh on yourself anon some big unfolding already started for you over the last few years, and it's going to unfold for the coming decade(s) you have tasted something that your bodymind now cannot forget, and won't stop orienting toward…
you can just do things (and maybe you'll fuck up or end up hurting others, but that's okay, you can still stay in connection and repair and learn from your missteps and keep dancing)
