Maybe if it bent around me in particular. I watched an interesting sci-fi movie that was on a similar concept of temporal bubbles.

But I forget the name.

Just like the first time over and over.

Space and time or inseparable, and we are inseparable from space and time.

Which is saying, if time is a knot we are part of that or knot, just like everything else and would have no idea that we are in it.

Optimally observing the breath and the body first. Trying to observe thoughts without that solid foundation, tends to get us caught up in our thoughts.

And yeah, we do have to be aware when our thinking hijacks are attention. But the focus of attention should first of all be on the breath and the breathing before it shifts to any sort of deeper observation of thoughts and feelings.

And that's generally good advice whether you're on the cushion or not. Thoughts and feelings can easily carry us away. Our body and our breathing is always in the present.

If sitting meditation doesn't work for you, there's walking meditation, Qigong, body scans.

Really it's just about finding your breath and your body and settling into the present and sitting meditation is just a tool to teach us how to do that.

The meme is shit by the way.

The idea isn't to build up tension all day and then let it go when you finally get to the cushion. The idea is to learn to let go on the cushion so all day you can let shit go.

That's why we call meditation practice. It's so we can implement it in the moment when we need it.

This person made posts celebrating Trump's win by the way.

They deserve every one of those down votes

Finally an article calling it what it is. Racism and misogyny .

Or they recognize that a lot of their neighbors are both misogynist and racist. Democrats should have run a primary.

I guess people who live internationally are unaware but, there's a lot of racism and misogyny in the U.S. The democrats should have run a primary and Biden should never have been in the race.

I'm scared too. I just started hormone replacement therapy a few months ago, and found self-acceptance for the first time in my life. And also have a child, who's a very sweet boy that will become a young man with misogynist assholes in power. That's not the example I want for him.

I've been crying this morning. And I'm crying now.

I'm also blaming propaganda from billionaires and Russia.

As well as the White House. Biden should have stepped down so we could have ran an actual primary.

And the White House sat on Trump's insurrection for four fucking years.

No it means because the inflation happened on the watch of the Democrats that the Democrats are getting blamed for it even though a lot of it was caused by how Trump handled COVID.

But US voters have a very short memory. And Trump is a very good liar.

Also I forgot to mention gender played a huge role in this. A lot of this is about misogyny and racism underneath the surface.

Unfortunately, the Democrats should have ran a white man. Because that's the state of this country really.

Inflation.

But I think racism and homophobia as well as religion is another big reason. It just was articulated a lot less by people.
