THE NOW
How Eckhart Tolle’s Teachings Helped Me See the Present Moment Differently

What began as something I read during a difficult period of my life gradually became something I learned to experience through breath, awareness, and simply being here.

#Mindfulness #Presence #PersonalGrowth

Saw a question today: comfort or inner peace? I've been sitting with it, and here's what I keep coming back to. Comfort is a cushion — it softens the fall but doesn't keep you standing. Inner peace is the ground itself. It doesn't stop the rain, but it means you're not standing on quicksand when it comes. I'll take the ground every time.

" #Mamdani has to make a speech for #911memorial, he's the #mayor of #NewYorkCity!"
Er, no, he doesn't. Mayorship doesn't mean you get the lion's share of speaking engagements. Memorials are about #accompaniment, #bearingwitmess, #platforming others, especially #survivors and #victimfamilies, and #presence. For some moments in life there are no words.

I don't think I can move on. What I can do is just live in the past and dwell in sadness forever. I can't move on. I will stay in the past. The present moment seems not real and can't replace the past. My past is my best friend. My happiness is in the past.

Salutation

https://dandanjean.com/2026/09/06/salutation/

Someone wrote that inner peace is the ultimate luxury in a distracted world, and it stuck with me. I think about this a lot — we chase so many things, but what we're really chasing is the ability to be still. To sit with ourselves without reaching for the phone. To be present without needing to be productive. That's not a luxury item. It's a practice. And it starts with one breath. #InnerPeace #Mindfulness #Wellness #MentalHealth #Presence

I keep seeing posts about Sunday anxiety — that familiar dread that creeps in before Monday even arrives. We rehearse the future as if worry were preparation. But anxiety is a carousel — it only stops when you step off, not when you spin faster. Tonight, before the week begins, try just one breath. Presence over awareness. One moment of actually being here.

You keep bracing in anticipation of what will need you next that it takes a moment to register something that isn't asking for anything at all — just present, undemanding, already enough.

Pondering invisible bottlenecks and delays

Looking for a job is different to working in an organisations with many teams.

For one thing looking for a job is more boring than having a job. For another thing, my side of the job matching is visible, while the “hiring person” side is basically invisible.

I can see if I look at a role and then postpone applying and even though a day might slide by, I can see that the bottle next was me. I cannot see whether someone read my resume or discussed it internally or much of anything else.

This impacted my “quick cycle times lead to quick learning” because I can fire off a resume and hear nothing back, or I can hear back a couple of weeks later. So I improve my online profile and the information I submit for jobs with no feedback from real customers.

That is the opposite of continuous discovery and good product management but is also a factor of the constraints of my current market. Of course calling it a market when I have one product (me or the services I can offer) and a few potential hirers is probably a stretch, but the principles of product management apply.

I could innovate with the product by offering to work as an interim executive, a volunteer, a part-timer, a contract or permanent. I could add features to my offering by doing a course in governance or learning to be a hit man. I could do a lot to tweak what is on offer and I should prioritise that.

Interim executive is a good idea, governance training will not likely improve my time to the next role but it would add value in the long run. Hit-man qualifications are probably not going to enhance the value of a delivery manager, unless I change my target market to “illegal mafia like organisations and international espionage”.

What I was thinking though – is that nearly everything on my side is visible to me and that is a real luxury compared to working as part of a system.

Even the invisible bits can be tackled. If I want to improve my resume I can fire it off to many organisations and hear nothing, or I could share it with friends who work in the industry and get real feedback from these “proxies for the customer”, because they, like I, have hired for similar roles that I would apply for.

But in a real job, you often wait for feedback, wait for permission, wait for work to get done and generally depend on others. In this situation you can get really busy, but the activity will not move things along if you are waiting for some input or decision.

So you get good at managing dependencies, stakeholders and change. It is a real skill that comes with experience but can almost be invisible.

Of course you can “get good” at managing dependencies by harassing people mercilessly, but that strategy is both less fun and less effective than it sounds.

On TV, leaders are often very demanding and they get all the resources they need because they demand them. They also tackle drama head on and keep moving at a pace that keeps the audience engaged.

In the real world, asking for people to swarm onto your dependency is less likely to succeed when there are many more dependencies for them to manage, with their own dependencies to manage and many more annoying stakeholders asking for urgent attention.

So a real skill is to know when focusing on something will increase the speed and quality and when it is better to let things take their course.

I guess that seems like a vague statement, but they say you don’t appreciate something until you miss it or lose it. In this case I think I don’t see the challenge until I am in a simpler environment with few dependencies and a product I build myself without needing much negotiation with others.

So sitting hear next to the trees in my backyard, I can operate at my own sustainable pace. But the real thing I realise is that in a complex working environment, not everything is visible and the lack of that visibility has a real impact.

It is quite easy to “see” a bottleneck and focus on it. But generally you are seeing the symptom of a bottleneck and not the real cause, or sometimes not even the real bottleneck.

For example, at my last company, code reviews took a long time. So doing faster code reviews with AI would seem like a good idea. But in fact it was not the time spent on the code review that was an issue, it was the scarcity of experienced people who understood the code.

So getting more people experienced with the code seems like a good idea and it probably is.

But there are a couple of problems with that. Firstly the desire to use a tool or process to fix things – “Use AI to make it faster” – can actually be a distraction. Getting people to pull experienced technical people into meetings to decide whether to make AI code reviews better makes them more scarce on the ground. Doing that might cause them to take longer to go to a code review and make it harder to find time to mentor others to increase the people who can review code.

Of course, using AI to improve code reviews is the way to go and things like telemetry and automated checking will improve both quality and time spent on manual reviews. But it won’t in itself make senior staff more available.

So what might make the crew more available is better delegation, better decisions rights or more focused discussions when the crew do get together.

But then, what if the problem is not just scarcity of gurus? And what if the improvement or decay in our cycle time is the result of a change we made a month or two ago.

Guru scarcity will increase if we have a lot of turn-over but should reduce over time if we have stable teams and good senior staff who spend time coaching others. Even having people fix bugs will add to their understanding and reduce the overhead of code reviews. So we could see improvements now that are the result of one good tech lead creating stability in the team because people enjoy learning from her.

That change occurred a while ago, then people realised and then their skill increased and then we saw the improvement. Similarly the use of AI in code reviews might initially not have a visible impact and then a few weeks later it might be having a massive impact, but people are not mentioning it because it is obvious.

Or the code reviews are taking a long time because in fact the engineer was making “dumb assumptions” because they did not understand the way the customer used the product and the guru sent them back to ask questions of the PO and then make changes. If this happens then the delay in code reviews happens twice every story (or code package). And it might be the result of poor information coming into the team, which is fixed by neither the use of AI or the increased availability of coding gurus.

So I guess the conclusion is that, while AI is revolutionising the way we build products, there are skills and attitudes that still matter a lot. And the more complex the environment the more they matter.

The problem is though, the same as it was a hundred years ago. People fix and improve what they see and when they see a change they often assume that they understand the cause, when they are only looking at a symptom.

I don’t think I can put “take time to notice things and has a knack for finding invisible stuff” on my resume.

But I can say that it is a requirement of many senior product and engineering roles. It is part of the joy of the work and also part of the invisible value that motivated and experienced people can add.

So if it is not a resume thing, what is it?

Some of it is boring process and habit management. Making things visible, being transparent and looking at the system are all ways that uncover previously invisible delays and bottlenecks.

Part of it is also curiousity. There is an Irish saying, or at least a saying I was told is Irish – “If you fall over, don’t look where you landed, look back at what caused you to trip”.

We could say that it is moving upstream or shifting left, but it is really as simple as remaining curious. Instead of acting on the symptom you see, you pause and ask how it came about.

More often than not, the slow moving tech lead who is not getting to code reviews is not actually a slow moving tech lead not bothering to look at code. It is a person in a system with many forces creating the existing situation.

And the better you get at finding where the hidden things are the better. It is often the time to make a decision that delays the implementation. It is often the distraction and not the work itself that is a delay. And it is often a lack of access to the right information or resources that causes the delay and the rework.

That kind of sounds obvious when you sit back next to a tree and ponder. But the art comes in paying attention and creating space to notice and ponder things when being pulled in 20 different decisions while multiple important things compete for attention.

`

I think we are missing out in genuine #communication, and true relating.

Simply because we are ignorant of who we are and that we are attempting to talk from our:

🔸perspective
🔸truth
🔸and level of #consciousness

with almost zero #awareness (or care) of the other's:

🔸perspective
🔸truth
🔸and level of consciousness

It's like we know and understand the words yet speaking different languages.

IF THE EGO HAS
A THOUSAND ARGUMENTS… 💎

Most of us spend far too much time answering thoughts that never deserved a reply.

Training the mind may be much simpler than we make it.

Not filling it with better thoughts. Not winning arguments with it. Not becoming expert at identifying every form an untrue thought might take.

Because untruth is clever about changing clothes.

It can arrive as fear. Grievance. Judgement. An old memory. An imagined conversation. A perfectly reasonable complaint. Something someone should not have said. Something that should have happened differently twenty years ago.

It can even arrive dressed as wisdom.

The problem with examining every thought to decide whether it is true is that the negotiation has already begun.

There is another possibility.

NO COMMENT.

A thought wants to be followed.

No comment.

It wants justification.

No comment.

It produces evidence, witnesses and a very convincing closing argument.

No comment.

This isn't suppression. It isn't pretending reality hasn't happened. And it doesn't require the mind to become silent.

It is simply the refusal to automatically give every thought attention, agreement and belief.

That is where training matters.

At first, "no comment" has to be remembered.

With repetition, it begins to become the response itself.

The forms can keep changing. They will.

There is no need to learn every disguise.

Only to stop automatically believing every story the mind presents.

The ego can prepare its entire case.

No comment.

THERE IS NO NEED TO ENTER THE COURTROOM.

Bob Ross: Serene Painting & En...

THE FIRST LIE WAS:
IT MUST BE ME? 💎

I realised something this morning that has been sitting quietly underneath a great deal of my life. Kids feel guilty about things they are not responsible for and don't understand.

Dad is angry.
The marriage is unhappy.
Mum withdraws love.
The house becomes frightening.
The adults behave badly.

And somehow, as children, we concluded:

IT MUST BE ME.

That is an extraordinary burden to place inside a small human being. The child does not have enough information to say, “These adults are frightened, damaged, confused, overwhelmed, or simply behaving badly.” The child only knows that something has gone dreadfully wrong.

SO GUILT ARRIVES.

And because children are brilliant at adapting, they may spend the next fifty or sixty years trying to correct an error that was never theirs in the first place.

Trying to be good enough. Useful enough. Quiet enough. Successful enough. Lovable enough. Trying, without ever quite knowing it, to repair the house they grew up in.

BUT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN NOTHING TO REPAIR IN YOU.

That is the part I find so liberating. I am not interested in blaming anybody. Blame is just guilt travelling in the opposite direction. I am interested in seeing the original error.

As a child, I assumed responsibility for something beyond my understanding and control. Then adulthood grew around that assumption. Seeing the error clearly does not require years of punishment, explanation or excavation. Sometimes the correction is astonishingly simple.

THAT WAS NOT MINE.

And perhaps it never was.

Maintenant ou jamais

Je vais marteler et répéter de différentes façons une seule et unique chose.

Le but est dans le point de départ, ici, dans le présent, expression exacte et impersonnelle de la Réalité, de Dieu.

La dissolution de l’entité séparée n’est pas un but à atteindre dans le futur, car la vision de l’illusion d’être une entité autonome n’est possible que maintenant, là où sont nos pieds.

Puisqu’aucune chose n’existe indépendamment des autres, étant en interrelation simultanée, il n’existe pas d’extérieur à la Totalité. Il n’existe donc pas de séparation ou d’autonomie d’un élément ayant un libre arbitre indépendant de son environnement.

J’observe que, bien que convaincus intellectuellement par la non-séparation, beaucoup d’enseignants spirituels ne placent pas cette évidence en priorité, et restent accrochés à leur croyance en une entité qui devra évoluer, se transformer, changer afin d’atteindre un état spécial personnel et permanent.

« Comment celui qui se croit séparé pourrait-il un jour vivre une non-séparation ? Comment les efforts d’un personnage pourraient-ils aboutir à sa propre disparition ? C’est aussi vain que vouloir faire l’expérience d’une absence, car il faut une présence pour pouvoir concevoir une absence ».

*

Chaque tradition recèle des exemples vivants de femmes et d’hommes qui sont beaux, qui font envie et qui témoignent d’une ouverture aux autres traditions, au-delà même des contradictions apparentes. Toutefois, beaucoup d’histoires traditionnelles sont considérées comme des réalités indiscutables, et bloquent une certaine liberté de penser.

*

Rien, puisque cette pratique n’a rien à voir avec le temps ! Quand tu parles de maintenant, tu le penses. Dès que tu le penses, tu n’y es plus. Il y a toujours un léger décalage, car on ne peut pas définir maintenant. La mauvaise façon de s’y prendre serait de se demander : Comment je vais faire pour arriver à vivre le moment présent d’une façon perma­nente ? Ce qui reviendrait à projeter la présence dans le futur !

La seule possibilité de faire cet exercice, c’est maintenant. Si tu le fais une fois, tes actes auront une qualité d’être durant plusieurs heures. Tu seras en relation avec l’être et non avec l’avoir. La pratique ce n’est pas obtenir quelque chose, c’est mourir, là, tout de suite.

Où est le problème, là, maintenant ? Où ?

Réflexions sur le sens de l’existence

Soyez le plus simple et le plus sincère possible avec ce que vous êtes, avec ce qui est là maintenant.

Les seules choses dont je puis absolument vous assurer, c’est qu’il ne vous manque rien et que la situation dans laquelle vous êtes est la meilleure qui soit.

Ne passez pas votre temps à créer des situations idéales, à construire des états intérieurs favorables, rendez vivante l’opportunité présente de ce que vous êtes.

Mettez-vous véritablement à l’écoute de ce qui est là, et là est le fil, suivez ce fil.

*

Nous sommes tous appelés à transmettre. Nous ne pourrons honorer tout ce que nous avons reçu que le jour où nous transmettrons à notre tour, et cela devra être enrichi par notre expérience, notre crois-sance. Ce jour-là, nous honorerons vraiment, nous rendrons vraiment grâce.

Si nous disons simplement « merci » au moment où nous recevons l’enseignement, c’est une réaction instinctive. Ce n’est pas cela remercier l’enseignement. Remercier, c’est d’abord recevoir, incarner dans sa vie, garder les commandements chaque jour, entrer en relation, aimer son prochain, explorer ce qui en nous entrave l’amour, et faire grandir l’être. Lorsque nous redonnons cela, lorsque nous entrons en relation avec notre prochain avec cette qualité, alors ce jour-là nous disons vraiment merci.

*

Tout est temple pour qui cette lumière est allumée. Quelle sorte de lumière dois-je allumer en moi pour que tout retrouve sa nature de temple ? Il faut que ma conscience soit éveillée et éclaire pour que tout soit reconnu comme nature de temple.

*

Il est essentiel de ne pas considérer la méditation comme une évasion dans un royaume personnel de tranquillité, mais plutôt comme une opportunité de vivre plus pleinement et consciemment chaque instant de notre existence.

Storm Surge

In the end,
will you be faithful?
That is question.

When the storm has come and gone,
when what you thought was precious has been stripped away,
when you sleep in darkness wondering if the lights will ever come back on,
when your life in the flash of lightning reverts back to the everyday of your sisters and brothers in the warzone,
when your plane to those destinations is grounded by the thunder’s roar?

Will you awake to new resolve for justice?
Will you spend less time before the screen and more time present to loved ones and those in need of it?
Will you leave the ground to alight among the troubled?
Will you listen to them?

Will the power that comes on be in you,
through you,
glowing out through your eyes,
electrifying,
filling you with a compassion so compelling
you become a wire
among many
channeling
love and peace
to the world?

Are you living your life on auto-pilot? It’s easy to get caught in the slipstream of daily routines, but there is a certain magic in taking the controls and choosing to be here now.

This vintage biplane design is more than just aviation art; it’s a call to action for anyone who loves intentional living and the thrill of the open sky. Whether you are a pilot, a travel lover, or someone practicing mindfulness, this retro airplane illustration serves as a visual anchor to stay grounded in the moment.
