Today, I will remember
the advice of Epictetus:
“Seek not good from without.
Seek it within yourselves,
or you will never find it.”

Not-knowing is true knowledge.
Presuming to know is a disease.
First realize that you are sick;
then you can move toward health.

Today, I will pay attention to
what Thich Nhat Hanh called
the “energy of mindfulness,”
such that compassion may radiate
from the eternal source within.

I am not satisfied by a life of material comfort,
soft as its comforts are.
I want my life’s mission rather to be,
in the wonderful words of Ken Wilber
a quest to:
transcend the separate self
in a state of non-dual unity consciousness
that is beyond the ego.

Harry Enten says in Sep 25,
AOC is closer to frontrunner Newsom
than Bernie was to Clinton in 2014.
Clinton 69 to 2;
Newsom 21 to 12.
Bright moment for us democratic socialists.
Perhaps the Overton Window will shift left
when time comes for DeMAGAfication.

My task today,
says Epictetus,
is to be engaged constantly
in the regulation of my own will;
how to make it undisturbed,
unrestrained,
uncompelled,
free.

The Master leads
by emptying people’s minds
and filling their cores,
by weakening their ambition
and toughening their resolve.
He helps people lose everything they know,
everything they desire,
and creates confusion
in those who think that they know.

When we become ensconced
in materialist security,
we lose contact with
nature, reality,
wonder, transcendence.
Reducing one’s materialism
and living more in accordance with nature
re-enchants the universe.

What is mysticism?
1. it’s active, practical, involving the whole self;
2. it’s part of a process of transcendence;
3. it experiences the divine in the universe;
4. it involves the complete remaking of character through an arduous psycho-spiritual process.
