On entend souvent qu'il s'agit d'observer ses pensées comme on regarde passer les nuages dans le ciel. Je préfère la métaphore de la gare. Dans la mesure où les pensées arrivent à la conscience, elles ne font pas que passer, elles s'arrêtent un instant. Il s'agit donc plutôt d'observer les trains des pensées,<br>1/n</p>

Bug Hunter Cat<p>An autistic person in the zendo...</p><p>I always felt that what I had to say or tell didn't matter to anyone and I still feel that way. But over the years I stopped needing to be heard. One of the strongest realizations was in a Zen Buddhist retreat. I came out of there with the certainty that I have nothing and I need nothing. Because basically I do not exist, the one who thinks and desires inside me does not exist.<br>It is something difficult to conceive and accept, but when it is understood with one's whole being, it is liberating.<br>From that, the next realization was about impermanence, "Nothing matters and nothing remains," not even this self.<br>Don't believe in anything, in any fantasy or myth. But especially don't believe that you exist, because you are not you.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/zen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>zen</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/buddhism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>buddhism</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>philosophy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/mujo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mujo</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ego" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ego</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/zendo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>zendo</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/zazen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>zazen</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>autistic</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/actuallyautistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>actuallyautistic</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/autismandzen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>autismandzen</span></a></p>

smith<p>I’ve been on Mastodon for 6 months, just changed servers, and — given the prevalent “this is it” feeling of other Twitter castaways this week — it feels a good time to re-re-introduce myself.</p><p>I am a survivor of clergy sexual abuse from Greater Boston — I was one of them kids. My writing sprouts rhizomatically from there and then through autofiction based on 16 years of dream-journaling, episodic dissociation, recalls of abuse, alcohol addiction and recovery, a sensitivity to ephemera and eternal return.</p><p>Following a stroke 12 years ago I became a certified personal trainer. Further into recovery I co-hosted wellness seminars for fellow survivors of sexual abuse. Ambulatorily-disabled upon being hit by a 65+mph car 5+ years ago, I now walk with the assistance of a shillelagh. I continue to train in San Miguel Eskrima.</p><p>I’m on social media primarily out of concern over COVID and fascism. A recluse, offline I keep to myself. But I’ve also never met a stranger.</p><p>...</p><p>Interests &amp; Concerns: <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Beckett" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Beckett</span></a> <a

Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” — Samuel Beckett</p><p>&quot;Life, willing to surpass itself, is the good life, and the good life is the courageous life.&quot; — Paul Tillich</p><p>&quot;All suffering is formative of the identity that endures it.&quot; — Catherine Malabou</p><p>&quot;To make trouble was, within the reigning discourse of my childhood, something one should never do precisely because that would get one in trouble. The rebellion and its reprimand seemed to be caught up in the same terms, a phenomenon that gave my first critical insight into the subtle ruse of power: the prevailing law threatened one with trouble, even put one in trouble, all to keep one out of trouble. I concluded that trouble is inevitable and the task how best to make it, what best way to be in it.&quot; —Judith Butler</p><p>&quot;‘Everything develops, and I myself develop as well; and why this is so will one day be apparent,’ was the formula I was obliged to adopt.&quot; — Tolstoy</p><p>&quot;I feel that it is necessary and ordained that I should be alone, a stranger and an exile in relation to every human circle without exception.&quot; — Simone Weil</p><p>&quot;At that stage in a piece of writing where people used to look for explanations, I would like them from now on to find a settling of scores.&quot; — Raoul Vaneigem </p><p>&quot;The only two things that motivate me and that matter to me are revenge and guilt.&quot; —Elvis Costello.</p><p>&quot;There is a battle going on, more or less conscious, between Duty and Desire. The part of me which belongs to the world wishes to do its duty : the part of me which belongs to God wishes simply to fulfill what is required and which is un-stateable.&quot; — Henry Miller</p><p>“I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist.” — Albert Camus</p>
xangoh<p>The thing about &quot;mindfulness&quot; shit is, like 99% of it is directed towards making you a better consumer and a more quiescent late-capitalist subject</p><p>As a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/zen" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>zen</span></a> practitioner of twenty-ish years I can attest that if you do <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/zazen" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>zazen</span></a> long enough, consistently enough, with enough good guidance, your life will change. Like the proverbial stone under a flow of water. You won&#39;t see it at first but it&#39;s real, and at some point you recognize there&#39;s no going back to what you were</p><p>Which is a good thing, but it isn&#39;t comfortable and it isn&#39;t convenient, and it&#39;s not in your control. And in no way will you find that you&#39;ve become better adapted to life in the late-capitalist wilderness. On the contrary</p>
