1/ I’m going into a 45ish day silent solitary meditation retreat on Friday 🫠 These past months I’ve been reckoning with aspects of my being that I buried deep in my psyche. Even after thousands of hours of meditation practice, dozens of retreats, I was still blind to them 🧵

4/ It has gotten me in touch with an exquisite tangle of protective mechanisms that I would probably have died not seeing, were it not for how I trapped myself.

3/ Before these last few months, I couldn’t see it. It’s shocking and amazing what minds are capable of not seeing! Now I see it everywhere. This has been profoundly humbling and painful.

5/ I’ve managed to trap myself in two ways; making a three year unconditional commitment to the @MonasticAcademy, and making a two year commitment to my partner @Sophia_Karuna.

6/ It was through the inescapability of my conditions, my love and commitment for my partner, and my trust and participation in MAPLE, that I could finally see my what my whole identity was constructed to hide.

7/ I’m grateful to be trapped by sacred relationships. I’m grateful to have removed optionality from my life. I would have never *chosen* to face such groundless terror.

Daniel Thorson retweeted: Excellent episode of the #Emerge podcast! @dthorson and #DavidSauvage posit the future of collective decision-making. “The right goal is not consensus, the right goal is #resonance.” #themorebeautifulworld #thirdattractor #emergence podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dav…

If you were designing a workshop to teach how to ask good questions what would you include? Especially interested in questions used in relationship to support insight.
