I am unsure if “G_d” is a thing that is aware of itself, but, my behaviour attempts to account for it being true.

Chris Corwin Watches Seinfeld |“The Library” ☞ Season 3, Episode 5
Filled with flashbacks to Jerry and George’s days in high school, this episode finds both characters haunted by their past as Jerry is hounded by a library cop for a book he allegedly didn’t return in 1971 and George is convinced a homeless man is his old atomic-wedgie-giving gym teacher.

My nose is in view every time my eyes are open. I almost never see it.
While meditating today (Waking Up app, Sam Harris, eyes open, 20 min session) I was entering rigpa (? Maybe?) and alternated shutting one eye, and then the other, in order to get a sense of the different points of view (are there two of me in here ?) and noticed anew that I can always […]
For World Book Day 2020, I dumped my books up here

“A feeling of being installed crooked.”
I have done some searching, and, I have no idea how to nail down the phenomenon I’m speaking of, but ☞ “a feeling of being installed crooked” …is as close as I can get right now. Sometimes while meditating, I get a sense of being like 15° off, nearly always “to the right” (whatever that […]
