Another long talk for your listening pleasure. Apparently I have things to say!
Last time I talked about one of my least liked things, crypto, so now I talk about one of my favorite things, the Keeling Curve. This is the measure of atmospheric CO2 at Mauna Loa. I love it! It’s simple and bracing and an excellent dispeller of illusions.
Listened to the talk yesterday, during my daily walkabout. At first, the mind responded with some negative thoughts like: Oh no, not more about the stuff …
So, then I relaxed and let it roll, and soon I found the words to be soothing and they resulted in a nice peaceful mind state. Like dhamma itself, it’s sure a mess, but when one gives up all hope of rescue, then the torture becomes the ordinary way it is. Agony is fantasising about some miracle happening.
