walking as contemplation
Many geniuses were known for taking long walks during the day. So there must be something to it, I think -- by request.
Spiritual Practice
asking for a miracle, then forgetting about it
Priority request: In the linked video, Doc encourages us to tell God "I of myself am unable to do this, and I ask for a miracle" then to completely forget about it.
level of capability to calibrate yourself accurately
One's capability to calibrate can itself be calibrated, and some topics require a higher capability than others.
screaming, as a spiritual practice
Request: Wondering if screaming at the top of my lungs helps to dissolve anger?
God box
Writing a worry / concern / desire / situation / issue on a slip of paper, and putting it into a box, and saying Dear Lord, I turn this over to thee -- request.
focusing on social impact rather than essence
Calibrated social impact reflects the positive without the negative. Essence is the level of consciousness that resolves both positive and negative positionalities. Over 200, the positive offsets the negative.
“Not I, but Thou, oh Lord”
Taught by Ramana Maharshi. "True surrender is the love of God for the sake of love and nothing else, not even for the sake of salvation."
taking photos as a spiritual practice
Request: When I take photographs, I often feel like I'm truly focusing on the essence and beauty of that exact moment. I just wonder what's the calibration for doing it with spiritual intention.
refusing guilt
Request: Doing something wrong, but refusing to let yourself feel guilty about it. Thinking about how you can do better next time, but strictly refusing guilt.
forgoing the ego pleasure of seeing an unjust other get punished
"But I gots to have that sweet ego juice!"
non-interference (as a virtue)
By request: “Not to be confused with apathy.”
supplication to the Presence of Divinity
By request. Similar to "becoming the prayer."
wear the world like a loose garment
“an expression that means to be detached from the world's worries and to live life with a relaxed attitude” - Google AI.
Bodhisattva Prayer
Priority request: Apparently the Dalai Lama recites a slightly personalized version every day, but this is the standard one written by Shantideva.
just sitting with eyes closed for 40 minutes
Please calibrate: Sitting with the dhyana Mudra. Close eyes or slightly open, staring softly downwards. That’s it... if the mind wanders or not, it doesn’t matter. Just a sustained, regular daily practice with the intention to sit without seeking enlightenment, or even if it’s seeking enlightenment.
