How to Stop Thinking Too Much via Raptitude [Shared]

I appreciate Sam Harris’s apt analogy about inner monologues — being caught up in your own thinking is like having been kidnapped and held hostage by the most boring person on earth. You’re forced to listen, as though at gunpoint, to an internal commentator who insists on telling you its impressions of everything it notices or thinks about.

Nothing is too petty, too repetitive, or too obvious for the boring kidnapper’s ongoing monologue: Susan was wrong to criticize people who wear Crocs to the grocery store; a certain politician is the worst person alive and here’s why; your ex-partner was definitely out of line when he accused you of wasting dish detergent that time; the two halves of this Oreo don’t line up, but it would be so much nicer if they did.

#Trump sued #CBS for $10B days before the 2024 election, accusing the company of deceptively editing a #60Minutes interview w/VP #KamalaHarris, many #legal experts dismissed the litigation as a far-fetched attempt to punish an out-of-favor news outlet.

Now Trump is back in the WH, & execs at CBS’s parent company, #Paramount, believe #settling the lawsuit would increase the odds that the Trump admin does not block or delay their planned multibillion-dollar #merger….

Hugh Grant has been priced out of his ‘phone hacking’ lawsuit against The Sun, after learning it would cost him more money to win than it would cost Rupert Murdoch.

"At the right moment and at the right amount, a skilled litigator can bring a civil claim to a speedy halt": https://davidallengreen.com/2024/04/how-the-civil-justice-system-forced-hugh-grant-to-settle-and-why-an-alternative-to-that-system-is-difficult-to-conceive/ writes @davidallengreen

Dear Friends of #Buddhism,

As we may know eventually … :lobster:
After #reading #theory, perhaps a #visit to a center and or #temple … :_stars:

We practice #meditation! :blobangel:

If you have ever tried and given up, you might need a different #technique or approach:
At the #moment a lot of my practice time after the #settling period is #mantra/#chanting. :ablobderpyhappy:

During the settling time I do a sort of seated ‘#Yoga Nidra’ (#Yogic Sleep). I may then use techniques from #Shingon or other #esoteric schools. We future #Buddhas are an #eclectic #sangha of #misfits, #mystics, #worriers and #warriors … :ablobdancer:
