Meditation doesn’t work (letting go of thought) if you don’t on some level WANT to let go of thought, aren’t bought in.

I don’t mean having resistances or doubts. It mean on some high level have your system give curiosity and assent to the exploration of this. https://t.co/bch2sBVjGg

@ChanaMessinger I really, really think if you think coercion is “needed” then you’re taking coercion to means something it doesn’t have to. Coercion ≠ discomfort You don’t have to resolve all your objections, or feel 100% happy or playful or whatever. https://t.co/AIGP9YUz6H

Otherwise it becomes drama. You’re setting yourself up to do something there is no high-level consent to do. You’re there because you’re super-ego is telling you to be don’t. https://t.co/Wn43PhZO8Y

developing a strong sense of ego in this way helps cut drama drama is the plea to have an authority see you are getting it right https://t.co/sJR9Q3vKGX

Don’t. It’s ok. You’ll be fine. Come back and develop and authentic curiousity and relationship with meditation. https://t.co/OUSWK7TsS7

I’m v consciously doing this experiment NOT from the super-ego and ENTIRELY from the ego, or not at all, in an effort to increase my sense of self-identification, autonomy, and unrestricted freedom in life. https://t.co/hzRgN760ip

Having a relationship to something with your super-ego is like being in an unhappy relationship. From the perspective of a single person, it looks like they’re better off. But in reality, the unhappy couple is 2 steps away from being a happy couple. https://t.co/94EqenWtLi

They have to disentangle and go through the pain of a break-up first. A super-ego relationship with meditation can be beneficial, I will never look down upon it, because any engagement with the dharma sows the seeds of eventual liberation.

But it can be freeing to walk away and realise you were the unhappy couple in the bottom pic and step away and up.

When I psychoanalysed with my gym relationship, it was such an unhappy one based on “IF I DON’T DO THIS I WILL DIE” that I let go of it. I wanted to skip to the step where I go to the them, but I didn’t get to. https://t.co/TnrwODeEaJ

So, sharing the following (with permission) because its so perfect its basically a VIGNETTE for how inner work goes when it goes perfectly. Straddle on: First thing - a problem, in the form of a surprisingly intense emotional reaction https://t.co/4JCtj6Xas7

I got to move the single stage where I don’t have a relationship with the gym but at least don’t have an unhappy one. One year later, and now I’m spontaneously finding myself going again. https://t.co/kcjerX159d

Rule for going to the gym: Don’t optimise anything till you’ve done it 5 times. https://t.co/BsyRrJNrC8

My meditations are the most disgusting, undisciplined things ever. But I am doing them.
