---------------------------------------- A warning to new friends April 01st, 2018 ---------------------------------------- Take a moment to compose yourself and disconnect from the moment happening around you. Think about your place in the world and let your mind slowly zoom out. Watch that place become a spec and then nothing at all as your inward eye moves toward the infinite. Now, with that distance and sense of impartiality consider for a moment your own actions to the people around you. Think about what you consider good and what leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. Don't linger too long on any one thing, but try not to skip over the shameful parts completely. Everyone you meet today will face that person you just examined. That person: keep the idea separate from yourself for now. If a friend were to encounter that person today, what would you warn them about before the encounter? How would you guide them to a better relationship? * * * This was the meditation I did tonight. I thought some of you might like to try it as well.
