What will your days look like? How much of the day are you actively engaged with ayurveda-related activities?

Defining bottom up, high energy states seem to be where you have more 1) sensations in attention and 2) vividness per sensation

Mostly maps to the conventional sense, but now you could be drowsy but modulate energy so sensory clarity gets way crisper *on the drowsiness*

Contemplating "energy" as a perceptual quality that can change in ~meditation Still mostly view it in a conventional sense, drowsy ∈ low energy, lively ∈ high energy But getting crisper on phenomenology, it seems more like "total amount of attention/salience in perception"?

lol just logged back in for the first time in 3 weeks

when?? i'd go there to be miserable for inju-town

i feel similarly -- like dayummm it's been forever since i've seen so many of you

feel like it's the natural ebb & flow though, especially now that IRL things are happening & more bustling

going into with some curiosity & excitement & nervousness -- gonna be great

see u soon charlie t!!!

haha aw i appreciate that! yeah it's still very much in it but i'm not too rigid with it, and life just can throw ya some big wrenches where you gotta do what you gotta do

very much in favor of integrating meditation/dharma wherever life may bring you, connecting & reconnecting to it as i can

I'm Doing My Part !

fr, it's more salient now and steadily moving back towards what feels better

more immediate term comfort and alleviation from feelsbadman.jpg, lol

basically as a response to some hard life stuff!

sometimes u gotta just make sure u know

ya boi on that opposite grindset -- less exercise, less meditation, more eating food for the sake of quelling unpleasant emotions (fully aware), staying up & waking up later

and i dont feel as great!!!!

there's nothing wrong with you there just hasn't been an interface with The System that lets you stay true to your values AND contribute and you've rightly recognized that the tradeoffs you would have to make (or have made) aren't ideal

this is the feeling that drives civilization forward

so much zelda. sooo muuuchh zelda
