I don't care about the news, or any recent release, or any new idea or practice which has recently become popular, and I don't care about commenting on those things, for the same reason that I don't keep track of where the everchanging wind is blowing, because they are too transient. What I care about is conscious quality, and how to build things which can have that as its center. In contrast, people get agitated by one thing on a certain day, and then the next day they get agitated by a totally new thing, which they tell us will change everything this time!
It's bullshit. Everything is bullshit. The spectacle of our world is not concerned with truth, like everything in our world of rackets, it is concerned with its own self-perpetuation. Attention and people's energies have become the new commodity, in a world built on lightspeed communication. This means that getting in touch with the root of your agency, your own attention, has become more important than ever.
It's very simple to weed out the bullshit of your life, all you have to do is bring into your attention your own mortality, allow death to seep into your life, into your bones, for your body is both alive, constantly regenerating itself, but also constantly dying. It's amazing how few things truly matter when you immerse yourself in a deeper time horizon. People stress out over the small things, because it's a convenient distraction from looking at the big things, which inevitably confront us with our own cowardice, bullshit excuses and desire for every thing to be easy.
If you care about Life, if you are serious, then the main thing you will focus on is how you can take responsibility in any situation. This doesn't mean that the problem cannot ever be external, but that even when it is, you are ultimately responsible for how you respond to it, for that is the etymology of 'responsibility'.
