THAT BISCUIT WAS NOT
SENT BY GOD👍Fasting is not starvation.
It is simply deciding that the kitchen is closed.
The body will survive this news.
The mind may not.
The mind likes snacks.
It likes standing in front of the refrigerator as though a more meaningful life might have appeared behind the yoghurt.
Fasting interrupts all that.
Not eating for part of the day creates a surprising amount of silence.
No planning the next mouthful.
No wandering into the kitchen for investigative purposes.
No urgent need to eat something because it is 3:17 and existence has become slightly dull.
The body is often perfectly content.
It is the mind that has called an emergency meeting.
There may be hunger.
There may also be habit, boredom, restlessness, advertising, and the sudden conviction that one small biscuit has been personally sent by God.
Fasting begins to separate these things.
Hunger becomes a sensation rather than an instruction.
A wave rises.
A wave passes.
Nothing has gone wrong.
The body is not a helpless container requiring constant topping up.
It knows how to use what has already been stored.
Quite a lot may have been stored.
Enough, in some cases, to survive a minor European winter.
Fasting also exposes how much eating is tied to commentary.
A difficult feeling appears.
Eat.
A pleasant feeling appears.
Celebrate by eating.
Nothing appears.
Eat something while waiting.
The mouth has been given far too much administrative responsibility.
Over time, fasting can return food to its proper place.
Food becomes nourishment again.
Pleasure too.
But not employment.
Not entertainment.
Not a sedative.
Not a reward for surviving until lunchtime.
There is something deeply simple about eating, stopping, and allowing the body to get on with its work.
No spiritual costume is required.
No need to become the person who lectures strangers about insulin at parties.
Just a clear eating window.
Then the door closes.
The plates are washed.
The body digests.
The argument ends.
Fasting does not make anyone superior.
It does not guarantee wisdom.
A person can fast for twenty hours and remain an idiot for all of them.
But it can reveal something useful.
Not every desire requires obedience.
Not every sensation is an emergency.
Not every empty space needs filling.
Sometimes the body is not asking for food.
Sometimes the mind is merely wandering around the house looking for a job.
It does not always need to be employed.
The hunger will pass.
The kitchen can remain closed.
And the empty tummy may turn out not to be empty at all.
It may be freedom.

To be unaware is to suffer. Not knowing the nature of things, not seeing reality as it truly is, binds us to a world of illusion.

BREATHWORK ENDS THE
ARGUMENT WITHINNot ordinary breathing.
The body already manages that without requiring a committee meeting.
Conscious breathing.
The deliberate act of bringing attention into the body and remaining with the breath long enough for the noise to lose its authority.
A slow, full in-breath.
A long, unhurried out-breath.
Then another.
Nothing mystical has to happen.
There need be no visions, revelations, sacred music, or sudden purchase of white linen.
The breath does not have to produce bliss, wisdom, or a more impressive human being.
It asks only for attention.
In that way, conscious breathing has something of I need do nothing in it.
Not passivity.
Not collapse.
Not giving up.
Simply the end of interference.
The breath is already moving.
Life is already happening.
The body is already here.
For a few moments, nothing has to be improved, solved, defended, explained, or spiritually upgraded.
When the body is cold, tight, tired, painful, or restless, there is the breath.
When the mind begins manufacturing a grievance, rehearsing an argument, predicting disaster, or reopening a case that was never going to court, there is the breath.
When nothing is wrong, there is the breath then too.
That may be the most important part.
Breathwork is not merely an emergency service called when the building is on fire.
It can become the place one lives from.
Over time, conscious breath creates a space where striving begins to look unnecessary.
No philosophy is required.
No spiritual costume.
No certificate.
No audience.
No carefully arranged photograph beside a candle with a caption about surrender.
Just the body as it is.
Just the breath as it moves.
Just the next slow in-breath and the next long out-breath.
The mind may continue talking for a while.
It usually does.
It has concerns.
It has evidence.
It has brought supporting documents.
But conscious breathing does not argue with the mind.
It simply stops giving it the whole room.
Thought becomes background weather.
The body softens where it can.
Time becomes less urgent.
The need to control the moment begins to loosen.
This is where breathwork and forgiveness begin to resemble one another.
Neither changes what is real.
Neither fights the appearance.
Neither demands that the world behave properly before peace is allowed.
They remove some of the interference.
The cold remains.
The ageing body remains.
The noise remains.
The ordinary morning remains.
Nothing needs to be excluded.
Sanctuary does not mean hiding from experience.
It means finding the place within experience where the fight can stop.
The world can keep shouting.
The door has been found.
It opens inward.

ROBINZZ3: THE TRILOGY
I have somehow ended up with three Mastodon accounts.
All called Robinzz3.
All looking like me.
All technically different people.
This is the sort of thing computers do while insisting they are making life easier.
The newest Robin lives at Aus.social, where I have been given 3,000 characters per post.
This is excellent news for me and possibly alarming news for everyone else.
The old Robin has 67 followers.
The new Robin has four.
And yet the new account is already getting more attention, which suggests follower numbers may be less important than being in the right room.
So I am going to stay here for a while and see what happens.
There will be no dramatic migration ceremony.
No digital removal van.
No small brass band playing as my followers are transferred across the internet.
For now, the three Robins will simply coexist.
One active.
Two increasingly historical.
A small federation of me.
One practical detail:
If you followed me on one of the old accounts, you will need to click Follow again here.
Mastodon does not assume that because you followed one Robin, you are ready for all available Robins.
Probably wise.
Anyway, this is the new account.
Same man.
Same breathwork.
Same opinions.
More letters.

PEOPLE OF EARTH
I may have lost contact with the people of Earth.
The Labor Party used to be cooler. People seemed less managed, less branded, less terrified of saying the wrong thing.
I miss something about the 70s and 80s.
Not everything. God no.
But there was a rawness then. We talked to each other. No social media. No permanent performance. No algorithm training everyone into public outrage, victimhood stardom, mob righteousness, or personal marketing.
Just people, in whatever configuration we happened to arrive in.
The early Pride marches in Sydney. Bodies in the street. Fear, courage, music, awkwardness, sex, politics, friendship, bad hair, good boots.
Life was not yet owned by screens. Screens were still a novelty, and modern algorithms hadn’t been invented yet.
Now everyone seems to be influencing, curating, defending, accusing, branding, reacting, or recovering from being reacted to.
I am aware this is still a lot of words for the average modern thumb.
But I’m 70. I remember paragraphs.
I don’t hate the present.
But I do miss the ordinary human mess before it all became slop.

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.

AI & CONSCIOUSNESS?
AI may become more intelligent, more embodied, more useful, more convincing, and maybe one day more ethically ambiguous.
But human-style consciousness? Not yet. And perhaps never in the same way.
A mirror can become astonishingly clear. That does not mean it has a face of its own.

PRACTICAL MAGIC BEFORE NOON
Brunch done.
Walk done (out of the rain) under cover in the CBD.
Breathwork done.
House warm
Body still technically participating.
I love getting all the practical magic out of the way before noon.
After that, I consider myself released from the human contract.
I may be creative, reflective, spiritually available, I may write something mildly profound.
Or I may lie on the bed watching absolute slop like a retired aristocrat waiting for civilisation to apologise.
If challenged, I will call it “nervous system integration.”
At my age, this is what enlightenment looks like when it has good heating.

DRESSED TO KILL
I used to look quite comically dishevelled.
There is no need to dress that up.
After the stroke, and after years in an obese body, I more or less gave up trying to dress properly. I wore badly fitting everything. Clothes were not helping. They were joining the argument against me.
They seemed to say, “This body cannot be dressed.”
So I stopped expecting much.
Going out in public then did not feel like being unnoticed. It felt more like being quietly assessed, quickly dismissed, or politely avoided.
A room full of people can feel like a row of silent witnesses when you already feel wrong inside your own clothes.
Then, slowly, something changed.
Fasting took some of the heaviness out of the body.
Breathwork changed the way I lived inside it.
Not dramatically. Not as a project. More like a daily return.
Breath by breath. Morning by morning. The body became less of an accusation and more of a place I could inhabit.
And now the clothes fit.
They sit properly. They do their job. They let me move through the room without adding commentary.
Maybe no one is looking.
But now that feels different.
Not invisibility as humiliation.
Invisibility as ease.
Just me, dressed well enough, carrying myself differently, not needing the crowd to confirm it.
And somewhere underneath all that, the old dishevelled version of me gets a little mercy too.
He was not ridiculous.
He was overloaded.

LIFE ENOUGH
Coffee in hand. Breathwork done. Rain over Hobart. Pete nearby. Dogs settled somewhere in the background. Meals on Wheels is waiting.
There was a time when I might have thought this was a small life.
No grand project. No public importance. No impressive busyness. Just the same ordinary movements repeated each day.
But I don’t feel that now.
A life does not become meaningful because it is dramatic. It becomes meaningful because it is fully inhabited.
The body gets older. The weather changes. Plans simplify. The world keeps making noise.
And still, there is this.
The cup warming the hand.
The breath moving through the chest.
The door opening.
The small act of showing up.
The quiet kindness of doing what is in front of you.
Rain falling outside, and this life is enough.

THE MACHINE MADE ME DO IT!!
Machines have no moral responsibility.
Human beings decide what is built, what it is trained on, where it is used, what its output is trusted for, and what happens next.
When something goes wrong, blaming “the AI” hides the people and institutions whose choices produced the result.
That is not only foolish.
It is dangerous.
A powerful tool can cause real harm.
But responsibility remains with the humans who create it, deploy it, profit from it, regulate it, and use it.

THE PEDESTAL & THE PITCHFORK
When harm appears, it should be named.
Sometimes a door must close.
Sometimes the truth must be spoken plainly.
Sometimes, consequences are necessary.
Forgiveness does not deny what happened.
It does not call harm love.
But condemnation is not clarity.
And worship is not love.
The one behaving badly is still a human being, not the sum of the harm.
The one called a saint does not become greater because others kneel before his image.
One is not a monster.
The other is not an idol.
The halo and the horns are both projections.
Harm can be stopped without hatred.
Goodness can be honoured without worship.
No one needs to be made more or less than human.
Just clear sight, firm boundaries, and a heart left free.

THE END OF SOMEWHERE ELSE
There are lives built around striving, escape, improvement, and the hope that somewhere else will finally feel right.
And there are lives in which very little is required.
The work is simple.
Breathe.
Write.
Care for the house.
Care for the people and creatures who share it.
Let other adults live their own lives.
Keep warm in winter.
Pay attention to what is already enough.
“I need do nothing” does not mean neglect.
It means life no longer has to be forced.
Things are cared for.
Responsibilities are shared.
No one needs rescuing.
No future needs arranging.
And home is not a place to escape from.
It is the place where escape is no longer necessary.

I leave my clothes beside the path,
& enter the #bush without disguise.
The wind strips away the last illusions,
The sunlight reveals nothing to hide.
Tree, stone, earth & #body
Move within one boundless field.
Each #naked step in #HadakaShizenyoku
Is the quiet flowering

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.

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.

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.
