People have been writing about the phenomenon of people complaining about the past a lot on this thread.

As a synchronicity, whilst this thread was going on, I happened to be appreciating the album ‘Oblivion ‘ from Underworld, enjoying listening to a track: ‘Ring Road’.

The lyrics do remind me also of English moaners:

Sorry, Samarpan, maybe this was quite a bit ‘brushy’ from me…

Jogging, running, walking, hiking, climbing in the nature and in fresh air, playing tennis or badminton, cycling, swimming and and and are refreshing and cool meditations.

Cheers!

I agree with you that it is about understanding.

We can learn from each other’s understanding, stance, explanation, expression etc.

Then again, understanding can be challenged to see “whether it holds”…

Sometimes one feels a sting…that’s learning, too.

At least we can have a little sympathy for where we are at…in this hard life.

Tolle, Ripples and My Grateful Ego Death..?

This is what I call my spiritual and experienced background. Just a glimpse of the past – always new – more or less.

Lokesh, certainly you are so much up-to-date that ego is old-fashioned for you.

Just use ‘attachment’ instead of ‘ego’!

You miss it, Frankie,
It’s not about comparing, it’s about understanding.

Satchit is obviously an expert on the ways of the ego.

To be honest, I rarely think in terms of the ego anymore. It’s sooooo seventies.

Unlike the old-fashioned locker-room games where it`s a case of “mine`s bigger than yours”, the spiritual getting-rid-of-the-ego trip version is “mine is smaller than yours.”

Your ego wants to be smarter than mine,
Lokesh.

This is how it works.
