Three Ways to Become a Deeper #Thinker
You don’t have to become a #Buddhist monk to realize the value of #contemplating hard questions without clear answers.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I've been obsessing over a peculiar topic:
#Skills (& things) that have been introduced & then lost, just to be reintroduced anew later.
Like gutters.
The #Romans had them, showed them to the #Brits & they promptly forgot about them. Then the #Normans reintroduced them.
There are so many of those things & I wonder which we will rediscover soon!
Days of grass...
In the meantime i am working on my project::

I dunno who I like these colors so much but I do. I have drawn many sulen aliens in shades of purple.

Dear Friends of #New,
I #notice social media #changes my mind, #buddhas and sole [yum] eg:
- I have little time or interest in North America
- Little Britannia is melting, just like in #OZ
- Click bait #= Social Media, #tsk #tsk
And in that sprat/#Spirit we went for a #walk in the #Urban #freeze. I really #enjoyed that #worthwhile time. I must conclude after #meditating, #contemplating and #exercising my noodle, that being #free is an #internal/eternal and unsocial madia is just #recycling opinions …
The morning light is, to me, the perfect background to contemplate paths of strangers through their own tales to tell. I find myself creating life stories for the people I see pass in my street every morning and I thought I should share it with you guys.
So here it is, a little blurt about these mundane everyday lives. Hope you enjoy reading this as much as I did writing it.

Dear #Insightful Friends,
New #podcast about 5 minutes on different forms of #insight and how we make use of them ...

I do wonder if consume and shop till you drop is insight or just consumer marketing? Also is an increase in hatred, spite and madness insightful? Seems more inciting and insulting to me ...
#Genuine #experiences as far as I know, #empowers and creates #goodwill to all. As much as is humanly #possible anyhow ...
In other news I went for a #walk to my local #Mastodon #Temple aka #Ganesha Hindu #Ashram. Very devotional, #happy busy people. Some just #contemplating their Idols and #Super #Heroes, Shiver/Shiva, #Muraghan, #Saraswati/#Wisdom and OM GAM GANAPITIYA NAMAHA as us heretics like to murmur at full #silent shout ...

As usual AI has created a #synopsis and #transcript. Which as far as I am concerned is accurate enough to make just reading, rather that listening quite viable.
"The speaker discusses the idea of starting one's own belief system as we grow older. They mention that insight or experiences can lead to the formation of these belief systems, whether religious or secular. They emphasize the importance of verifying and making sense of these beliefs through journals, blogs, or discussions with like-minded individuals. However, they also acknowledge that some people may spread nonsense beliefs. The speaker mentions the transmission of ideas and the desire for recognition as part of the process. They stress that the effect of one's beliefs is more important than recognition. The speaker concludes by stating that how individuals go about creating useful beliefs will differ for everyone."
Have to hurry up finishing this shawl that I would like to gift to my mother-in-law, yesterday we heard doctors cannot help her anymore and she will be going home.
So I'm not sure this shawl will be finished in time for her to see it. But otherwise it will be just a comfort knit for me. #grief #contemplating

The process of honest discernment is usually difficult and sometimes painful.

Dear #edutooters,
I'm at the age where I'm not seen as a peer to a younger audience anymore. I now face a new #challenge when building natural rapport. Instead of "being their pal," I build respect to achieve #trust and a #safespace.
One aspect I've been #contemplating is the "daring" among learners. I see it as a behavioural #spectrum. It promotes natural mischievousness that can obstruct a #process while it's also a key to expression and internalisation. #How do You #approach it?

@DerEntspannende frage mich gerade, ob dieses ding uns menschen nun auch darin schult, unsere erwartungen dessen, was zu tun ist (aka aufgaben) besser formulieren zu lernen.
und ob das den menschen, die aufträge/aufgaben von uns annehmen, dann auch helfen wird, die erwartungen besser zu erfüllen.
