    So refreshing to hear "I don't want to be useful right now" and how we don't need to change or be better because nature (was that the word you used?) already accepts us as we are. My ego brain always thinks I should be more productive, do something useful "for the world" and "I don't do enough". It's exhausting listening to that old record. 🌷

      @@kkop4982 yes. And actually so much so that many of us never "learn" to recieve help and just exhaust ourselves. That's been almost impossible for me. It really plays in, thanks for the comment!

    enlightenment, consciousness or the lack thereof in both regards....
    superfluous bullshit.
    the rest too... or a lot of the heady 'what is real and what is not'
    Ben's transparency and honesty (topics and queries aside) made this for me.
    so.
    thanks for allowing the space

    Maybe reincarnation was mistaken to be a literal thing. Perhaps enlightenment is the freedom from 'me' being reborn thousands of times a day -- instead of multiple physical rebirths. I can see how humans would confuse the two, lol.
    Meh, it doesn't matter, but it's an interesting concept.
