i think it'd be awesome if someones self-chosen practice at beings club was to call their mom or dad

maybe that person will be me a few times when we restart

i am joyous to have recently found a barber i vibe with and trust after years of bouncing around

the last barber i trusted was a balding half-jamaican guy with dreads, named Jerry

he was a joy to chat with and used to give me the low-down on the best currently running art exhibitions in the city

In a Future not too distant from now - I will be able to watch any Bollywood movie I want in Anime style.

Currently, I do not watch much Bollywood nor do I watch much Anime. But in this future, I will watch both at the same time.

(fun fact: Bollywood is popular in Bulgaria (according to my Bulgarian Barber))

The slow build of Beings Club is delicious.

It's fun to know that people won't know who will be there when they show up.

Sign-up before May 18 if you haven't already (people who have emailed to express interest are on the list, no need to sign-up here): www.spacetobe.xyz/open
I'm open to new 1:1 clients - past clients have experienced benefit in working with me to:

- Establish a regular meditation practice
- Deepen their practice of meditation and mindfulness
- Navigate periods of transition
- Bring specific creative projects to fruition
- Explore their own spirituality

DM if interested
A quick note: I'm closing the Discord.

The point of Beings Club is to get people to have curious conversations once-a-week, in real-time, not to give people another surface to look for new notifications on.

The Discord has therefore been closed.
I’ve let Miles Davis into my head (reading his autobiography)
Do you think we'll live in a future where trees are rare on Earth?
"Self-improvement starts with breaking self-deception and learning to face the truth. You must honestly witness, then evaluate, how your mental, emotional, and behavioral actions obscure the truth. Once you are able to reflect on yourself in this way and are able to see where you struggle, then you can begin to improve yourself."

- Khangser Rinpoche
take your noise-cancelling headphones out and listen to the birds today
If you don't want to join Discord, but you'd still like to join the Open Salon on May 18th

you can scroll half-way down this page and sign-up with your email

I'll send you 2 reminders in the week before and the event link on the day

Sitting down to meditate you might get caught in the idea that you need to fix something - that something is wrong and meditations job is to produce a certain state.

Instead, it can be helpful just to be curious about where attention is at any moment and to gently return it to rest in the body if it's wandered.
Building Beings Club is itself an exploration of curiosity for me.

I'm living in these questions:
- Is a space like this possible to maintain?
- What will happen in 6 months time?
- How will the people who gather change?
- Who will be drawn to join?
- What could be birthed from this?
- What does it mean to be the steward?
- How will it evolve over time?

Sad not to be in Liverpool today and Happy to know the city is gonna be buzzing from this.
I helped a couple guys push their car up the road today

they had a small jade buddha in the windscreen

one guy was wearing vevo barefoot shoes

another guy jumped out of his car to help
Thinking out loud after reading these words by @scttee:

"...treating knowledge-sharing as an essential governance function...models enable semi-autonomous nodes to coordinate, innovate, and align without losing coherence."

Based on this, the most important knowledge that we could share about higher with those want to get stuck in is; who has done what, what has been done, and what is currently being explored.

The trouble perhaps is that we're often working alone or in small groups. This is NOT bad but it is opaque. Wouldn't it be useful if what was happening was mapped on a public ledger?

It would double as a advertising board for those that have been doing cool shit - it becomes a directory for the people who want to reach the people who did a thing - and a map for those looking to explore the territory and break new ground.

I'm checking out @ottp, other higher nerds are invited to take a look, imagine what might be possible, and to message to chat.

If you're going to FarCon next week, on the Saturday you could go and learn from a great meditation teacher at 09:30 and be free by 15:00.

What a blessing it'd be to be in NYC!

with these words i'm tapping into the energy of the first person to write anything ever

or i'm following in their lineage or whatever

how mad is that?
The whole world deserves compassion because the whole world is in the same situation.
curiosity is a vehicle for developing taste

beings club is a space for curiosity

You are so loved, that all the pain you could ever feel and express is lovable.

The love of a joyful baby laughing and looking up into their mothers eyes whilst being cradled - that kind of loved.

Unthinking, unjustified, unabashed whole and total love.

even if you reject all the woo in the world

adopting the view that 'things work out for me' is a powerful way to do more of the things your doubt would keep you from doing otherwise

sometimes, before we can embody that belief, we need to feel safe, so if you can't get there, move towards what makes things feel safe!
i think if you're spending multiple hours a day on here and you're not getting to know people beyond text-based interfaces you're missing out

the experience is much richer when you've had real-time conversations with people

excited for those going to farcon, and if you can't make it maybe check out /beings-club
