"STUIs are 'Sudden, Temporary Upsurges of Information; they are not real."

Thoughts are not ideas, nor are they concepts. They are a beguiling of your mind; a fiction we either choose to believe in, or actively test against reality. If we do not do the latter, we are doomed to repeat mistakes and ultimately live an unfulfilled life. It's that serious. Don't believe anything you think.

Thoughts aren't real, Alexi ;)

"If you consciously engage with decision-making in the moment, you realize that [reality] is all part of you."

You've merely forgotten that you are the "it" in "it is raining". Forgetting the ego narrative that you've been taught and told is an act of remembering. What doesn't work anymore needs to be abandoned. You are the one who chooses whether life is meaningless or meaningful. You are. You. Forget the rest.

New album release on Sunday, April 24th!
In this episode, Mitch talks about promoting his new album, Soil, the process he went through to get there, and how it almost never happened. This leads to some interesting “food for thought” on his experience with psychedelics, as well what can happen if you use fear as a compass. Which road leads to a meaningful life? We are the only ones who can decide.

Our problems are our solutions, but only if we have a learner's mindset.  Resistance to change, or resistance to novelty, is based on fear.  We can change our mindset through practice, and one of the most effective ways to achieve this is through meditation. Do we want to learn or not? If we are always learning, problems become solutions; if we resist learning, problems remain problems.

When have you not been? In this episode, Mitch talks about how to actually be in the moment. Everything changes. Everything. Trying to control the uncontrollable is a barrier to true reality and creates the opposite mindset of being. Here. Right. Now.

Are psychedelic mushrooms memory capsules? And when we eat them, we remember what we've forgotten?

Here is the link to Michael Crichton's talk.

Is lying ever justified? Consider the "white lie"; the lie to prevent hurting another person's feelings. Is this morally justifiable? Or can it potentially muddy a relationship? And is it an example of sacrificing the future for the moment? 

I think out loud about this, as well as other ideas.

You never "die". Things may change, like your body over time, or your interpersonal relationships, for example. But, if you think about it, change never ends. It is constant. It is immortal. Why, then, would we believe we aren't?

Link to my books.

Life becomes neurotic when you believe your thoughts to be more real than reality itself.  Until you address the real, you're going to be confused as to why gas prices are so high.
