    I know this isn't LinkedIn, but... I'm extremely proud and happy to share the creation of the Carbon Removal Centre and my role as a co-founder and Non-Executive Director. 1/7

    I think it's time to infiltrate Hungarian Twitter (if such a thing exists) to help me with my language skills (I'm half Hungarian). I guess I should create a Hungarian language alt? (and other Hungarians) - any recommendations for who I should follow?

    Truly important things are rarely urgent. And vice versa, of course.

    Case in point: I can't sleep because I keep enforcing awake. I don't need to do sleeping, I just need to stop doing awake. Good night.

    Notice it, non-judgementally. Don't try to change it. Have an intention for a desired outcome. Let go of any need or craving to attain that outcome. Let go of wanting to shape how it happens. Just wait, watch and notice. Then watch and smile as it happens in a new way.

    But that new way of being is unknowable. Such transformation can feel scary because it's out of our control. But it's the only true transformation. Anything else is just endless layers of self-deception. How can we stop asserting stuck patterns in ourselves and society? 6/

    The thing about transformation is that it can be facilitated. We can learn or help each other to get out of the old patterns and then allow whatever happens next to arise. In Alexander Technique I would help you notice and inhibit your old patterns to allow something new. 5/

    I wonder about this at societal scale. We expend so much time and energy trying to create new systems, but we're still asserting the old ones, and so were stuck. It's like we're arm wrestling ourselves as a species. 4/

    The way to stand is to stop asserting sitting and allow standing to happen by itself. You don't need to be involved in it. It's the same in organisations. The more culture change is enforced, the more it's resisted. No - stop enforcing the old culture and see what emerges. 3/

    When we try to force or resist it (both kinds of 'doing'), we interfere with it. What we're doing here is asserting old patterns. I see this clearly in Alexander Technique students. Say you're sitting and you want to stand. Most people re-assert sitting before they stand. 2/

    Since I can't sleep, let's talk about transformation. This is all from my head. Transformation can happen at all scales: personal, relational, societal. But it's not something that can be done. It's a natural process that can only be allowed. 1/

    I realise that what I'm getting at here is the differences between prickles and goo as Alan Watts describes it. I'm looking for a more accessible word for the prickles.

    I'm looking for a word that captures the opposite of woo woo. It feels like 'corporate/mundane/plain' or something along those lines. It's what the inside of an office cubicle might feel like. Any ideas?
