Here be dragons
The current excitement around Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is mostly missing the bigger picture: There is a ghost in the machine and a machine inside the ghost. This century won't be predominately defined by AGI, Robotics or Biotech - but by breakthroughs in inter-species comms and the democratization (and rebranding) of energy work, practical magic & engineered paranormal activity.

The mystery that is Zhan Zhuang
Find it interesting how during longer ZZ session, i feel a distinct sense of "expansion" happening. Words are inadequate, but its bit like a compressed liquid or coiled up snake starting to unwind and fully fill the room. A sense of "belonging" i grant myself, which grows with progressive relaxation into the practice, despite the ongoing mind-body turbulence. After such practice sessions, I'm left with a feeling that is similar like after 3-4 hours in a Onsen.

Endlessly
“To study the Buddha Way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be actualized by myriad things. When actualized by myriad things, your body and mind as well as the bodies and minds of others drop away. No trace of enlightenment remains, and this no-trace continues endlessly.”― Dōgen
