Peter Ralston Newsletter 15. Being Incomplete 5:70 As seen, there are many contributors to your sense of being incomplete. When you long for something not present, you'll view your current experience as incomplete—somehow flawed, or broken, or less than, or inadequate, or what-have-you. Being complete means nothing is missing or needs to be fixed. This experience is not based on your circumstances but on you. 5:71 I'm not sure if this fits, but a long time ago I realized that there was no fundamental difference to the quality of life standing in the Taj Mahal or in a dirt floored shack. Both are simply dwellings. The rest is mind. And if you don't mind, you can be happy no matter where you are. 5:72 People often think that if they accept life as-is they will give up all aspirations to attain something better. This is really just a red-herring, and it is what much of our dissatisfaction is based upon. But it is just not true. There is nothing in ending suffering that requires we give up creating or building or attaining something. We simply have to make sure such "visions" are grounded in reality and based on commitment. Then our ambitions can be channeled into a reality. 5:73 Yet, you need to make a distinction between drives and ambitions generated in an attempt to keep you distracted from underlying pain, or simply creating something because you want to do so. Ask yourself: what motivates you to pursue attaining something? Is it the promise that it will "fix" you, or make your life experience tolerable? Pursuits based on this drive I call a self-agenda (something we will look into more later on). But if it isn't based on a self-agenda, you can create or attain whatever you want without it being related to avoiding suffering or trying to fix you or remedy your distress. Notice, in this way, you are also OK without attaining anything. Then you are happy with life as it is, as well as happy with whatever you may be building or creating. I am happy because I want nothing from anyone. I do not care about money. Decorations, titles or distinctions mean nothing to me. I do not crave praise. I claim credit for nothing. A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future. Albert Einstein Daily meditation during the week: Get present and focus on yourself for a moment. Have no goals, no desires, nowhere to get to, no social goals, no other or better experience to have. Pretend being a simple creature, present now, no future, no past. Even drop trying to succeed in this exercise. Just be with yourself like this. Do not care about anything else for this meditation other than your own happiness, allow yourself to be whole and complete. Ask yourself, and be honest about it: is there anything incomplete, wrong or not right (even if slightly) in this experience? If yes, keep “going” (although there might be nowhere to go), until you experience yourself being complete (if only for a moment). Practice this meditation daily.

@Leo Gura Hi, Leo 😎 I would really like that you teach about visionary thinking, extreme creativity, geniality, how to think like aliens, futures thinking, science fiction, how to think like a prophet, insight, how to be an inventor, pioneer.

Positioning, Entitlement & Relationship. These three words can change your entire reality. Contemplate.

Cheng Hsin Newsletter 13. Ideals Since we were very young we have been inundated with stories and ideas of destiny, romantic notions of being a hero or heroine, of being someone special, fulfilling our potential for greatness, or realizing a dream. From such culturally promoted ideals we are likely to assume that something awaits us in our lives, that our individual existence has a particular purpose and meaning. Of course, this purpose and meaning is frequently obscure. Realizing this destiny, fulfilling a life plan, is supposed to give meaning to life, without which we would likely feel something is missing or that our life is not living up to its potential. 19:32 In the background everyone has images of what their lives and selves should be like. These can be quite subtle and buried, or very obvious and openly touted, perhaps presenting a standard impossible to reach. Although almost no one would admit to the more outrageous ideals—being a superman in ability, the wisest human on earth, or a saint in spirit—they nevertheless tend to have such ideas in some form or another and can be quite dominated by them. 19:33 How could anyone possibly be dominated by such outrageous fantasies? First, they don’t exist as a fantasy, they exist as what’s expected, as that which would make a person worthwhile, special, and loved. Yet it isn’t just the impossible ideals that run us. We are chock-full of all sorts of images of who we should be, and who we shouldn’t be. These are both personal and cultural. But the bottom line is always the same: we don’t perceive ourselves to be that way. By presuming that we should be some way that we are not, we are setting ourselves up for disappointment. What if ideals never were meant to be attained? Sounds silly, doesn’t it? Of course they are meant to be attained; it is only ourselves that are lacking. Perhaps not. Perhaps, in fact, there is nothing lacking within ourselves at all. If an ideal was not meant to be attained, in other words, “lacked the possibility of realization,” then what good is it, and why does it exist? An ideal may have been created to serve the function of providing a direction in which to develop, or it may have been instilled as a form of control, a way to standardize values, or to humble the recipient. All manner of possibilities could explain the presence of our many ideals, none of which require personal realization. We can see once again that the analogy of chasing an unattainable cheese fits here perfectly. Contemplate during the week: During the week contemplate your own ideals and grasp an experience of being complete, not lacking anything. Have nothing to attain, no social goals, no future ideal life to realize. Allow yourself to be complete.

That's why being offline is a luxury. Stop focusing on what you don't want to see in the world.
