@jhanatech @jonnym1ller (Sigh) Apps are a good on-ramp to deeper experiences, jhana retreats included. And mindfulness (“sati” - better translated as “remembering”) is a core part of what you all do. Okay if I pull this tweet back out when you launch your own meditation app?

Meditation apps and "mindfulness" are on their way out. The jhanas are states of profound joy, peace, and wellbeing you can access on demand. We teach beginners how to enter them in a week. No meditation experience required. jhourney.io

Completely normal… (round 2)

@dthorson @xHeartWork Noticing live that we’re (always already) inhabiting all the depths at once is… something.

Cool! I would quibble with some of the definitions / construals but pretty awesome to see it laid out like this. One important thing is that all depths are always co-occurring so the apparent isolation at the depth of parts is actually taking place within a prior relatedness and a prior wholeness, but many people can’t perceive that (but it’s nevertheless true).

The four levels of experiential depth (from a conversation between @dthorson and Steve March - Alethia Unfolding)

@jonnym1ller nah - babies do something like that for you 😉

@DRHaswell does that require me to replace my heart with a mini arc reactor?

Who is building the "Iron Man suit" (i.e. AI tool set) that makes the operator more conscious (not less)?

@oloal Just this! (Rrrooooaaaaaar)

I’m trying to treat parenting as the ultimate practice, moment by moment, opening to the possibility that this might actually be as good as life ever gets. Practically, it looks like chasing my 22-month-old around, his hands in literally everything, while also noticing the coos and caws and squeals of utter delight – the sounds of a feral angel – and letting it all the way in, bringing it as close to my heart as possible, and seeing how far the goodness can take me. Because I think this is it. The peak state everyone's chasing. And the peak cute years, I'm told. It certainly is, if you let it be.

@FU_joehudson A poet too…

The Real State of Our Society

Open office plans must be extra dead now with a bunch of people talking at their computers.

@tomowenmorgan Careful. The overlords may not appreciate your sarcasm.

Claude: write a generic tweet about daylight savings to maximize engagement. Make no mistakes.

@DJwrath @tomowenmorgan 😭

@tomowenmorgan Be sure to blame farmers

@jonnym1ller The clench will show you the way

try this: notice how behind every clench there is a literal torrent of love waiting to burst through

@tomowenmorgan Pain.

🚨🚨BREAKING🚨🚨 EVERY POST ON X NOW LOOKS LIKE THIS. IT'S NOT ACCIDENTAL- IT'S DELIBERATE A SHOCKING new study found that using A.I. templates, urgency and hyperbole hacks engagment, here's why that will kill this platform 🧵👇

@jonnym1ller The liminal days. Soak it up!!

It's sort of a wild experience waiting in anticipation for your first child to be born. It feels like moving towards an event horizon, beyond which all we know is that our lives are about to be irrevocably changed ;)

@BraxtonTBragg Same same, Braxton. Hope you’re well!!

@DRHaswell I’m careful to remove the emojis and other Ai bullshit that is clearly AI written in my own work. For me, it reduces credibility of writing by others when I see it.

Am I the only one that's clenching when I hit AI-speak in a sensitive doc? Can't tell if I'm just an old man holding onto some relic of human-to-human communication, and that I should just accept that AI-speak is inevitable + works to convey the necessary info.

@5matthewdub I hadn’t thought corpo-speak was the antecedent but you’re right. My heart dies a little each time regardless of the context.

@DRHaswell i do but i remember when i also did so at corpo-speak, the ancestor of ai-speak, and i eventually mostly got over that but if it is supposed to be something from another human communicating their heart, blech

@Tim_Org Hah! The farm keeps you young though. Agree.

@DRHaswell Nope (although I am an even older man): To me, it shows they have not bothered to do the work.

👉 “The solution is not to kill desire but to clarify it. To follow it all the way down. To discover what we helplessly, unavoidably, inescapably want when all the compensations are stripped away.”

@jonnym1ller @AtlasForgeAI @sivers 👌

@DRHaswell @AtlasForgeAI @sivers would love to debrief with you at some point...

I wanted to see if @AtlasForgeAI was able to generate high-level principles from deconstructing the code-base of a masterpiece. He did not disappoint. I'm reminded of @sivers line: "the standard pace is for chumps" but taken to a whole new level
