Hello dear reader! I thought I’d start by explaining what is this newsletter? Why am I writing this? And why the name? I have had the most interesting year and a half since the beginning of the pandemic and have struggled to figure out how best to explain it. The world has been turned upside down in so many ways… At the beginning of it all I was doomscrolling like everyone else, quickly running down Maslow’s hierarchy as I struggled to understand what was happening and how to be safe. But once things calmed down a bit more I found myself still doomscrolling… At some point I realized this was making me very unhappy and so I started to actively change my behavior more than I’ve ever done before (and mind you I was already on the idiosyncratic side of the equation). Over the past year or so I’ve turned inwards and ratcheting up my mindfulness activities quite dramatically. The results is being more mindful, happier and more equanimous. That’s not to say everything is always zen but it’s noticeably different than a year or two ago… It’s been transformational and I keep wanting to share what I’m finding.
David joon. The confluence of High-tech and serious spiritual inquiry makes a lot of sense. Logical and objective inquiry is a great balancing force if one truly dabbles into the inevitable mystical underpinning of spirituality. In the world we live these days, we seriously need more people in that space. Happy trekking!
