  1. STOP FEEDING CONFLICT

    I did the A Course in Miracles Workbook for years.

    Over and over.

    I understood many of the lessons.

    I valued them.

    But I did not find lasting peace through them.

    The mind could still turn a grievance, a fear, or an argument into a full-on unsettling production.

    Then I began answering mental conflict with two simple words:

    NO COMMENT.

    I had no idea whether something so simple would work.

    I only hoped it might.

    What I did not yet realise was that all those years of doing the Workbook, however poorly, had trained my mind to listen to me.

    So when I said NO COMMENT, and kept saying it, the mind eventually got the message.

    Not as suppression.

    Not as denial.

    Not even as another argument with the ego.

    Just no participation.

    A thought appears.

    NO COMMENT.

    A grievance starts gathering evidence.

    NO COMMENT.

    Fear wants a hearing.

    NO COMMENT.

    For me, this simple practice has now replaced the Workbook.

    Not the Text.

    Not the Manual for Teachers.

    I still need those because they explain the thought system and remind me not to make up my own spirituality.

    My daily practice has become very simple now.

    The Workbook trained my mind to listen to me.

    NO COMMENT gives it one clear instruction:

    Stop feeding conflict.

    That is where the peace began.

  6. A quotation from Hoffer

    Passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to an empty life. Thus people haunted by the purposelessness of their lives try to find a new content not only by dedicating themselves to a holy cause but also by nursing a fanatical grievance. A mass movement offers them unlimited opportunities for both.

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 3, ch. 14, § 75 (3.14.75) (1951)

  9. HOT SAUCE APOCALYPSE

    Yesterday the lunch place had run out of hot sauce.

    In Australia, this is barely news.

    Aussies don’t really do hot sauce.

    But some of us do.

    Some of us have built whole fragile emotional ecosystems around a few drops of chilli on lunch.

    I agreed to sweet chilli sauce instead, because apparently I am very mature.

    But I did register my disappointment with the manageress.

    Politely.

    Firmly.

    Historically.

    Then I went for my walk.

    Then I did my breathwork.

    Then I noticed the day still had a slight dent in it.

    This caught me off guard.

    I had only just been saying that everything is perfect all the time now.

    Apparently, “everything” includes the lunch place running out of hot sauce and me quietly wanting the owner told so this national disgrace never happens again.

    That is how the ego works.

    It does not just want lunch.

    It wants justice.

    And there it was.

    Not a catastrophe.

    Not a spiritual failure.

    Just a tiny place where preference had turned into grievance.

    The hot sauce was missing.

    The peace was not.

    I had simply misplaced it for a moment under the sweet chilli sauce.

  11. SIMPLY DO THIS

    The truth simplifies everything.

    You don’t need to be kind because it is a moral duty.

    You don’t need to be kind because it makes you spiritual.

    You don’t need to be kind because it improves the self.

    In reality, kindness is all that remains available.

    The unkindness was the complication.

    Fear, defence, grievance, specialness, needing to be right, needing to win, needing to be safe.

    All of that makes kindness seem like a choice.

    But when defence falls quiet, kindness is not manufactured.

    It is simply what is left.

    So the question becomes very simple:

    What is the kind thing now?

    Say less.

    Soften the tone.

    Tell the truth.

    Leave the door open.

    Put the fire on.

    Feed the dog.

    Drink the coffee.

    Do nothing.

    Simply do this.

  13. CLIMBING DOWN

    #Hirayama, in #Perfect Days, is not a failed climber.

    He is someone who saw the #ladder clearly and stopped obeying it.

    That is a very different thing.

    The world keeps whispering: more #status, more #usefulness, more #achievement, more #improvement, more #proof that the self is becoming something.

    No one has to #whip us anymore. We do it internally and call it ambition.

    Hirayama’s freedom is not that he cleans #toilets. That could easily be another prison.

    His freedom is that he is not using his life to become impressive.

    Water does not need to win.

    The useless #tree does not need to justify its #existence.

    And “I need do nothing” does not mean sitting around uselessly. It means I do not need to #manufacture a self.

    The #body can #clean, #breathe, #walk, make #coffee, light #fires, put #shoes on, feed #dogs, and #love the ones nearby.

    But there does not have to be a grand inner project of becoming #Worthy

    Simple living is not automatically #holy.

    Low status is not #awakening.

    A small life can still be full of #grievance, vanity and comparison.

    But a life without #comparison ?

    That is #freedom.

    Maybe the real act is not #climbingdown.

    Maybe it is stopping the argument with where I am.

  15. Conservative politicians in #Alberta, from #DanielleSmith and #JasonKenney on down to #PierrePoilievre and #PrestonManning, have used the rage of Albertans as the fissile material powering their own political ambitions. In the process, they have created a generation of #grievance #junkies, people who are absolutely addicted to the idea of their own #victimhood at the hands of a corrupt federal government.

  21. Loss - the belief in progress and the reality of experiences of loss.

    * Grievance-fuelled violence at home and psychological harm reduction

    "The family violence workforce is stretched in Western societies... 20 out of 38 reviewed cases of fatal family violence were "grievance-fuelled"...The Fixated Grievance Perpetrator Intervention Pilot brings together experts in forensic psychology and psychiatry, criminology, policing, perpetrator intervention and victim support."

    * The role of loss within society
    Andreas Reckwitz 's book 'Loss, A Modern Predicament, The first comprehensive study of the role of loss within society", 2025 explains loss not only from a psychological perspective, but also from a sociological one.

    "Loss has come to occupy a central position in late modernity – whether in the consequences of climate change or the entrenchment of negative expectations about the future, the ‘losers’ of post-industrial modernisation or the collective processing of ‘historical wounds’ and of who is acknowledged as the victims and perpetrators of these crimes, in a heightened psychological awareness of vulnerability, in political populism, a nostalgia for things past, or programmes of resilience."

  22. This is #brilliant (from Democratic Socialists of America USA)

    “I used to wonder how it was possible that Trump could have won in 2016, and then again in 2024, given how emotionally #toxic and depraved he is.

    “I don’t wonder anymore. I think he won for that exact reason. Because he carried at least one broken shard to reflect the broken shards in millions of others.

    “If you’re a racist, you found your guy. If you’re a misogynist, you found your guy. If money is your only religion, you found your guy. If your heart is armored shut, you found your guy. If you mock the disabled, you found your guy.

    “If intelligence makes you insecure, you found your guy. If you’re a sexual predator, you found your guy. If you trade in #humiliation and #conspiracy and filth, you found your guy.

    “If you’ve never done a single hour of emotional inventory, you found your guy. If you cheat, stiff contractors, #bankrupt your obligations, and call it savvy, you found your guy. If you lie as easily as you breathe, you found your guy. If cruelty feels like strength, you found your guy.

    “If wh*** #grievance is your comfort food, you found your guy. If your ego is a black hole no title can fill, you found your guy. If #warmongering fuels your ego, you found your guy, If #empathy feels like weakness and #dominance feels like oxygen, you found your guy.

    “If he’d only carried one or two of these pathologies, he might have been dismissed as just another loud, damaged man. But he carried a buffet of them.

    “That was the appeal. Millions could locate themselves somewhere in the wreckage. They didn’t have to agree with all of it. They just had to recognize a piece of themselves in it.

    “It was never really about him. It was about the #Validation. The #absolution. The #permission. He didn’t invent the #resentment he amplified it. He didn’t create the #cruelty he #normalized it. He gave millions the #intoxicating relief of hearing their ugliest #impulses echoed back at rally volume.”

  24. Why are the US #Democrats so absolutely #useless?

    "Oh, we might skip the State of the Union address to show our displeasure with the administration."

    Are you #morons? That would be a gift to Dear Leader and his #lickspittle #Congress. The #SOTU would be Mango Mussolini speaking to a friendly crowd, all happy, applauding, not a contrary expression to be seen. He'll be happy, smiling, at his most congenial as he basks in the warm glow. You do not do this.

    What you do is attend. Every #Democratic #house member and #senator. Every staffer and guest that they're entitled to bring. Everyone. You put them all in their assigned places.

    And then, when Trump gets up to speak, every single one of them simply turns away from the dictator. Turn their back to him, and *stay* that way for the whole speech. The #optics are great; the cameras show half the crowd with their backs to him, in obvious #protest. The #tyrant has to look at it all through his speech. He's angry. He's spiteful. He puts on a display for the ages, goes off-script, airing every #grievance his Swiss-cheese mind can dredge up. His body language is hostile. #Media coverage shows the event for what it actually is: a #vengeful, #lawless #authoritarian trying to verbally browbeat the legislative branch into submission.

    #DNC, I'm available for consulting if you'd like.

  26. The "State of the Union" address, or as it has come to be known in recent times, the "Airing of Grievances Prior to Taking Grampa's Phone Away, Changing his Diaper, and Putting Him to Bed".

    More seriously, unless they medicate him properly and do something to keep him on-script, Tuesday's performance is likely to be #legendary, and not in a good way.

    Tell yourself, when you feel exasperated and out of all patience, that this mortal life endures but a moment; it will not be long before we shall one and all have been laid to rest.

"In a meticulously reported, two-part Vanity Fair investigation based on 11 interviews with Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, the façade of unity inside the Trump operation cracked wide open. What emerged was not a flattering portrait of a disciplined administration, but a candid, deeply troubling assessment of a presidency defined by chaos, grievance, and recklessness."

  37. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    To have a grievance is to have a purpose in life. A grievance can almost serve as a substitute for hope; it not infrequently happens that those who hunger for hope give their allegiance to him who offers them a grievance.

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 166 (1955)

  38. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    We derive a certain satisfaction from being sinned against. It is not only that a grievance adds content to our lives, but also that it makes less monstrous the flame of malice which like a vigil light flickers in the dimness of our souls.

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman

At the core of their political #grievance appears to be that free speech is good but not when the speech is so naughty and hurty that it makes them want to cry.
