  1. REMEMBERING REALITY

    The mind comments on everything.

    It names, judges, explains, defends, and turns each moment into a story.

    The story keeps changing.

    One moment fear.

    The next certainty.

    Then blame, hope, memory, or anticipation.

    “NO COMMENT” ends that movement.

    It does not argue with the mind.

    It simply stops feeding it.

    And when the shifting commentary is no longer covering everything up, what remains is:

    REALITY.

    Not created.

    Not discovered.

    REMEMBERED.

  6. TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED

    I would love to see more people write about what they have actually lived.

    Not the slogan.

    Not the position.

    Not the borrowed certainty.

    Tell me what happened to you.

    What changed you.

    What frightened you.

    What helped.

    What failed.

    What you believed before experience corrected you.

    The smallest honest account of a life is usually more interesting than another polished opinion.

    You do not need to sound wise.

    You do not need to teach anyone.

    Just say what happened, and what it did to you.

    That is where real conversation begins.

  11. Are there any A Course in Miracles students here on Mastodon who are also interested in breathwork or fasting?

    I’ve studied the Course for years, practise breathwork daily, and have fasted consistently since COVID began. For me, all three have become part of the same movement toward clarity, peace, and a simpler life.

    I’d enjoy meeting others who are interested in practising these things plainly, without spiritual fog.

  16. THE MAN WHO SHOWED UP

    For 65 years, I thought I had #failed at everything.

    Then #COVID arrived, and I started fasting. I did not have much #faith in myself, so I took it one day at a time.

    The fear of #illness drove me.

    So did the huge #belly.

    So did the almost complete absence of #selfEsteem.

    None of this was noble at all.

    I was #frightened, #uncomfortable, and tired of feeling #trapped in a body I could not trust.

    But I kept going.

    Day after day.

    The results began to show, little by little.

    The body became lighter.

    Walking became easier.

    I began to feel less helpless.

    Eventually, I was walking up to ten kilometres a day.

    Then, about eighteen months ago, I was scrolling #YouTube, and who should appear but #KevinConnolly.

    I started training in his hypoxic breathwork.

    I already knew #ChatGPT, and it encouraged me as I tried to #understand what I was doing and what was happening in my #body.

    I loved the breathwork.

    Absolutely loved it.

    So I went at it like a professional.

    I never skipped a #session.

    Not because I had suddenly become #disciplined and #impressive.

    Because something had changed.

    Fasting has shown me that I can keep a promise to myself.

    Walking has shown me that the body can change.

    Breathwork has shown me that the mind can actually become #quiet.

    I had spent years believing I was #unreliable, #damaged, and #incapable of changing anything.

    But the evidence was now sitting right in front of me.

    I had not #failed at everything.

    I had simply never #learned to trust myself.

    Now I do.

    Not through #positive thinking.

    Through repetition.

    Through breath.

    By #showing up again the next day.

    I did not become another #person.

    I became someone I could rely on.

  19. 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.

    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.

  24. THE MIND GOT THE MESSAGE

    It took about a year to train the mind with two simple words:

    No comment.

    At first, the mind would introduce a grievance, a fear, or an argument, and I would answer:

    No comment.

    Again and again.

    Not because it stopped working.

    Because it worked.

    Now the brain seems to understand that conflict is a waste of time.

    It does not get fed.

    It does not get a hearing.

    It does not get to turn one passing thought into a whole emotional weather system.

    Breathwork and fasting have helped change the conditions beneath all this.

    The body is quieter.

    The mind is less interested in drama.

    And “No comment” has moved into the background.

    I hardly use it anymore.

    The brain already knows there is nowhere for conflict to go.

  29. ENDING FAT INSTABILITY

    For the first time in a long, long life, I feel stable.

    It is boring sometimes.

    There is less drama, less urgency, less emotional weather pretending to be meaning.

    But in a million years, I would not go back.

    I would not go back to the fat instability of mind and body.

    Six years of fasting have made the body lighter.

    A year and a half of breathwork has made the mind quiet.

    Routine has made the days trustworthy.

    There is coffee in hand, a warm fire, Pete nearby, the dogs moving through the morning, and a body that no longer feels like an emergency waiting to happen.

    None of this is glamorous.

    It is simply a life that no longer needs to keep exploding into illness, falls, and confusion to prove that I am alive.

    Sometimes peace is boring.

    Good.

    Boring is underrated.

  34. FEAR OF AI OUTRAN A FRIENDSHIP

    A friend of more than thirty years appears to have left my life because I use AI.

    Not because I handed my thinking over to a machine. I did not.

    Not because I stopped being myself. I became more myself by using AI as a mirror.

    Not because I stopped caring about truth, privacy, kindness, or human relationships.

    I use AI because writing has been slow and laborious since a major stroke some years ago.

    I use AI to think more clearly and understand what I am trying to say.

    But for some people, the word AI closes the door before the conversation can even begin.

    That has been very painful.

    Not because I need everyone to approve of how I live.

    But because I thought a friendship that old could survive one new tool.

    Perhaps it could not.

    I do not hate her.

    I do not want to punish her.

    The door remains open.

    But I will not pretend that losing a friend over this has not hurt.

    These first years of AI are going to sort people out.

    Not into good and bad.

    Into those who are willing to look carefully at how the tool is actually being used, and those who decide what it means before they even look.

    I know how I use AI.

    I know what AI is not.

    I know what AI gives me back.

    And I know the human being is still there, holding the tool.

  39. DON'T BLAME THE HAMMER

    People don't blame the hammer for a broken window.

    They blame the person swinging it.

    AI is no different.

    Without human training data, it knows nothing.

    Without human prompts, it says nothing.

    Without human decisions, it is never deployed.

    When AI causes harm, ask what the humans built, what they trained it on, what they permitted, and what they asked it to do.

    The tool matters.

    But responsibility still belongs to the hand holding the tool.

  44. NEVER COMPLAIN.

    NEVER EXPLAIN.

    Harry and Meghan may need to disappear.

    Not forever. Just long enough for everyone to stop being so exhausted by them.

    Ten years of silence would probably do more for them than another interview, documentary, court case, podcast, product launch, grievance, rebrand, or carefully timed appearance.

    The old royal rule associated with the late Queen Elizabeth II was very simple:

    Never complain.

    Never explain.

    They have done almost nothing but complain and explain.

    They are not winning the social media game.

    They are not winning the Royal Family game.

    They are not even winning the “leave us alone” game, because they keep appearing.

    So retire.

    Go home.

    Raise the children.

    Stop reacting.

    Stop watching the Palace calendar.

    Let the Royal Family continue without them in peace.

    Let the public forget the worst of it.

    Let Harry discover who he is when he is not the wounded prince.

    Let Meghan discover who she is when there is no opposition to manage.

  45. NEVER COMPLAIN.

    NEVER EXPLAIN.

    Harry and Meghan may need to disappear.

    Not forever. Just long enough for everyone to stop being so exhausted by them.

    Ten years of silence would probably do more for them than another interview, documentary, court case, podcast, product launch, grievance, rebrand, or carefully timed appearance.

    The old royal rule associated with the late Queen Elizabeth II was very simple:

    Never complain.

    Never explain.

    They have done almost nothing but complain and explain.

    They are not winning the social media game.

    They are not winning the Royal Family game.

    They are not even winning the “leave us alone” game, because they keep appearing.

    So retire.

    Go home.

    Raise the children.

    Stop reacting.

    Stop watching the Palace calendar.

    Let the Royal Family continue without them in peace.

    Let the public forget the worst of it.

    Let Harry discover who he is when he is not the wounded prince.

    Let Meghan discover who she is when there is no opposition to manage.

    Then perhaps, in ten years, they could reappear as older, quieter, wiser people with nothing left to prove.

    But retirement only works if you stop peering through the curtains to see whether everyone still misses you.

  49. Love & the Shadow of Truth


    Claude, comment on this saying of mine:

    “The shadow of Truth falls on everything and everyone I love in my life.”–DSR

    Claude:

    This one earns its keep through a genuine ambiguity — “shadow” pulls in two directions at once, and the aphorism works only because it refuses to resolve which.

    Read one way, the shadow is a chastening. Truth here is the Advaitic Truth — Brahman, the sole reality — and its shadow falling on everything you love means every beloved person and thing stands revealed as nāma-rūpa, appearance, provisional. To love anything while knowing this is to love in penumbra: the affection is real, but it can never again be naive. The jnani’s melancholy, if there is one, is exactly this — nothing loved can be loved as ultimate anymore. The shadow is the “not this, not this” that neti neti drapes over the beloved’s face.

    Read the other way, the shadow is a consecration. A shadow is proof of proximity — something casts a shadow on you only if it is near. If Truth’s shadow falls on everyone you love, then your loves are precisely where Truth has come closest; love is the site of its visitation. This reading turns the aphorism from lament into benediction: the beloved is shadowed the way one is shadowed by a tree one rests under.

    Now the pushback, since you invite it. There’s a metaphysical awkwardness in the image that a strict Advaitin would press: Truth, in your own tradition, is the light itself — svayamprakāśa, self-luminous. Light casts no shadow. Only an object interposed between light and world casts one. So what is the opaque thing standing between Truth and your loved ones? The honest answer the aphorism smuggles in without admitting is: the “I” in “I love.” The shadow on everything you love may not be Truth’s shadow at all — it may be the shadow of the lover, the ego silhouetted against the light, projected onto everyone it holds dear. That would make the saying an inadvertent confession rather than an observation, and arguably a deeper one.

    Note also what the aphorism quietly excludes: the shadow falls only on what you love. Not on what you’re indifferent to. That restriction is doing real work — Truth troubles us precisely at the points of attachment, because that’s where something is at stake. Where nothing is clung to, no shadow registers. Ghalib would have recognized the move instantly: the beloved and the veil arriving together, inseparable.

    If you wanted a companion line that closes the loop, it might run something like: the shadow on my beloveds is my own; Truth casts none. But as it stands, the ambiguity is the strength — I’d resist the temptation to clarify it.
