I’m sure it’s familiar. I never quite knew why it worked. https://t.co/cJvZHUnleL

I expect there to be a dozen reasons, a few each from the - the high jungian perspective - the low loneliness perspective - a mechanistic distraction perspective - any number of others We use what’s useful.

1. gentle encouragement, when we stutter and fail (like a baby looking to her mother when she falls, to decide to continue trying to walk) https://t.co/VN5DFJJUbT

- there is a sense of encouragement and felt safety of love e.g. when babies are learning to walk, moms can just . . . encourage the baby, and that helps whenever the baby becomes unsure, demotivated, she can just feel loved again (cf The Inner Game of Tennis)

2. a relationship with beauty, connection, love, that makes us want to be more https://t.co/VYbziKBnh0

@AskYatharth doing stuff (moving, responding, working) isn't worth the effort without a context (pursuing a goal, helping a friend, etc). When you wake you sound like you need a daily reminder of your worthy context

There are many pathways to the divine. One of them is love. Another one is beauty. When we find something beautiful, we encounter something—a desire to be more. It makes other things ugly. Beauty provides a worthy context in which to be more. https://t.co/so0PBOnUOa https://t.co/ArabK3otHM

3. a relief from the neuroses of being alone, that make us shrivel and tighten, numb and forget

I think it's maybe a lot of the same reasons as this thread, actually. Both offer worthy contexts in which to be more. https://t.co/17i4afvhfq

For example, the relief from pain that lets us focus on other, greater things. https://t.co/FKvLzSI0as

A sort of stability. Dissolving of neuroses into emptiness as we re-emerge wanting. https://t.co/qeOlilSfeF

@AskYatharth The issue with ADHD is that ADHD individuals sense when they are being controlled and fight that control. A second body makes it easier to be controlled.
