Stable mind?

Absent other people, my mind has been almost completely quiet for the last year or so. Interactions trigger lots of messy thoughts, though.

Therapy not intensive meditation. Slow down. I don't have the time to fix crack ups!

What is this, a twitter guru-disciple relationship? You want to give advice, I thank you. You want to teach, teach. This is inappropriate.

Well, Vinay's rather more experienced than I am. So worth considering.

FWIW, there a loads of lay practitioners doing way in excess of an hour a day, all over the world. Especially in ngakpa traditions - where householders often meditate even more than monks who get saddled with monastery work. Although, that tradition emphasises the rôle of Lama.

I can do guru. I'm qualified. I've led (well, mostly kicked) a couple of people to enlightenment. But I'm not guru to anybody right now.

I respect that. More teachers need to be more honest about the values of their sphere, guru or non-guru. Extremely Zizek voice: limitations, sticking points, pitfalls, and so on.

hence I mainly work on engineering solutions to humanity’s problems, rather than any kind of awakening-led approach to the Great Mess.

I’m happy you’re capable of putting in a genuinely impressive go at it. I also have a lot of admiration for people of lesser capacity who wake up and realise that it’s probably best to sit and stay out the way, and maybe take a student or two if the right one comes along.
