Thanks Tim, I enjoyed that one and agree with all your observations . Also several are so exact that they made me giggle, especially the job interview , and the endless , mindless, addiction based scrolling phones which drives me nuts when I see it. My career, work and joy is being a mobile physical therapist, self employed, answerable only to my paitients and paid (mostly in cash) by them based on results produced. I write this only to explain why I don't enrole in any of your workshops as to me hell is a day spent in front of any screen. However I have the utmost respect for you and all who earn this way and yes, hard work and effort should earn you great money to enjoy :)
Great Stuff Tim, and, as usual me ,or my well trained mind, or my habitual world scanning process, amusingly noticed that while you decried black and white thinking you have, from one point of view, listed a series of black and white conclusions. Perhaps a paper on the benefits of allowing yourself to use black and white thinking to eradicate unnecessary ambiguity or simplify life.
Like I do my daily stretches - no questions, no decisions, just do them, start them while the coffee brews and finish them before bed. Otherwise within a week I will be walking up stairs and my knees will begin to ache, and after a couple of weeks walking down the stairs will be slower and my knees will be aching. Then getting out of chairs will require using my arms. Then I'll go to the physio, spend a fortune to be told to do stretches or other ancillary exercises.
Oh, and the children one: total envy on my part. I'd have kids now, at 70, if I could. And I'd go back to a regular job or work my ass off to do it. Biology forbade me biological children but fortune allowed me to parent other children and it can be one of the best jobs of all time.
This is the kind of piece that makes you realize how much of what we call 'reality' is actually a well-rehearsed script.
I’ve spent decades studying the esoteric traditions of the world—and one thing they all agree on is this: the most effective propaganda is not the one broadcast on screens. It is the one internalized so deeply that you no longer recognize it as a choice.
In my own work, I call this 'decoherence residue'—the informational patterns that are not yours, but that you have absorbed so completely that they feel like your own thoughts. The media feeds the noise. But the real work is disentangling the noise from the signal.
I’ve seen this in my own body: healing bones without surgery, clearing patterns that were not mine. The body is a coherence detector. If you quiet the external noise enough, it will tell you what is real and what is not.
Thank you for having the courage to name this. The more people who do, the harder it becomes to keep the script running.

Straight FACTS. I am exhausted by all of these things.
What do you mean Gemma?
That I agree with you 😆
Courage will always be the most important trait anyone can possess. This is why combat sports are so important, no better way to develop courage.

Great list. I couldn't agree more. Refreshingly honest, especially the diaper line :)
