@AskYatharth you're usually treating some part of yourself as not-me, in this circumstance, as well "I keep doing this thing even though I know it doesn't make sense! 🤬😫" says a part that isn't the one doing it in the first place. ...it makes some sort of sense to the part that's doing it!
@AskYatharth not gonna make it right now because gimp is being weird but I want a version of this meme where the villain's face is replaced with fred's and it's captioned near the top with "who is responsible for this stupid thing I keep doing!?" but somehow more coherence empathy vibes https://t.co/7HHgZqAMM6
entirely related also somehow to choiceless awareness https://t.co/tcBhJuA19I
in other words, enlightenment is what people describe as constant planning and replanting; a kind of integrating, “giving over” of the conscious mind to the unconscious; in an integrated sort of planning that leaves no room for “choiceful awareness” https://t.co/vdHOB9Bhzk
@AskYatharth @Malcolm_Ocean IME: it's never the thing that's right; rightness emerges from my willingness not to know, and to actually encounter. Thingness seems to be a justification - i.e., this apprehension, this articulation wants to assert into the frame. But truth flows too rapidly to sustain a thing.
@abhayance @AskYatharth "willingness not to know" reminded me of this https://t.co/H8cZ242Btf
@AskYatharth @abhayance yeah I mean of course obviously PCT & Coherence both make this abundantly clear also eventually "right thing" kind of dissolves, at least in the way it was previously conceived "right thing" is usually still steering to please the parent/teacher or otherwise avoid punishment
@AskYatharth @abhayance one weird corollary of the this is that the desire to have there be a right way to do it sometimes amounts to a victim stance, because it allows you to say "but I did it right?! why didn't it work!?" I mostly point at this re trust-building/comms, but it applies everywhere
