Scotland is part of GB, so the fairly likely Northern Ireland exit will be the big blow to the "UK"

someone who needs mindfulness might know they need it and thus talk about it


one reflection on that would be the nvc phrase "violence is the tragic expression of unmet needs"


the Buddha taught critical thinking regarding the base teachings, an emphasis that was lost by many later schools of thought

Early Buddhist Texts (EBT) are fairly non-religious, e.g. see the Thai forest tradition/BSWA talks

this school of thought even often ignores a fair portion of the abhidama texts ("about dhamma", the meta commentaries) that started to form a number of years after the death of the Buddha

if anyone wants a seriously good deep deep deconstruction of the main mindfulness sutta/sutra from this perspective, podcast kinda form, see https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL70fWqztn7OXdbGqWEOvhOVqf...


body scan is the first pillar of mindfulness

https://suttacentral.net/mn10/en/sujato

anecdotally, I had a late PoTS (postural static tachycardia syndrome, blood vessels don't autonomically constrict correctly depending on posture) diagnosis, then hypermobile EDS (tissue that's more floppy)

I realised on body scan relaxations that

a) a pain arose in most body parts as I tried to gently allow a letting go of tension in that part, like something I had to shake off, kinda like DOMS though also similar to the body tension pain I get as a certain kind of autistic person repeatedly failing a task,

n b) that any however much relaxed part very quickly subconsciously tensed up once again within seconds of my focus moving to a new part. chronic tension from 1) needing to tense for blood to better flow, n 2) trauma. I've had masseurs tell me my muscles fight back, n fwiw prolapse op from the EDS, n I get pregabalin for the tension pain


"immersion" as a better translation than "concentration", suggested by Sujato

(can't remember their exact chat about that EBT translation compared to Bodhi or Brahm in whichever of the miriad of Buddhist Society of Western Australia talk/retreat videos I heard it discussed)

e.g. in https://suttacentral.net/mn44/en/sujato

mindfulness of body sensation, feeling, thought and principle bringing enough equanimity to start ignoring it all really easy, though the moral aspect can't be separated because doing not wholesome actions will leave you thinking about them


maybe the intro etc of absurd.org could somehow happen again. a very artsy artefact of a website that utilised popups (and Java) at certain points

I wonder about an AI someday controlling free/open DJing software Mixxx, better than the current AutoDJ at least. there's an OSC PR that could be used


I have seen a few people working on similar things. I am 100% sure it's doable with current tools. Not sure it will sound too good though.

Spotify and Apple Music both have automix features that are actually half decent
