The breakfasting room’s NPU is set to 1960s Soul Hits.

08.23  The NPU is off! Quiet. Wonderful!

08.24  Oh no! It’s on again!

11.29  In response to a Crafty enquiry…

In any environment, our weaknesses (actual or perceived) are recognised by those around us, if they have any wit or sentience. In a hostile environment, those looking to feed recognise potential food.

If we maintain our state, recognising our own capacities & process, impartially & without judgement, that is, maintaining neutrality towards what we observe in ourself, the neutrality provides protection; this in several ways, and involving degrees of subtlety that we can’t get into in a short e-mail. Very briefly, neutrality is, to most eyes, a kind of invisibility. It offers no affirming nor denial, so presents no threat towards or infringement upon others.

Self-recrimination etc. is a waste of energy & can also become pleasant & enjoyable, if we allow it to. How to stop it? Drop it as soon as you observe it beginning! You have the right to not indulge in time wasting, self-indulgent flagellation. This also provides an opportunity to observe further automatic, circular, recursive programmes kicking in. When you notice this beginning, declare: I have the right to not go there! and bring part of your attention intentionally outside the loop; for example by deepening sensation within the hand, or foot, within the circuit of the limbs. And observe, impartially & without judgement, that this is all part of the animal you inhabit. This is not who you are; this is part of what you are.

Happy New Year!
