In this new episode of Life Is Inquiry, our Guest Reader, Casimiro Llamas, Jr. read paragraphs 13 & 14 from “Choice & Experience,” by Jim Dixon.  The question of the Present vs. the Ideal came up during our debrief of Casimiro's experience with the reading.  Understanding each state is empowering, and the wisdom embedded in  "Choice & Experience" helps us decipher between the two so that we can live with more equanimity versus the worries and anxiety that arise from the expectations of "the Ideal."
