just start depopulation here and now: give machine guns to the few worthy people, and let them eliminate the rest. natural selection. problem solved.
then the only challenge is the disposal of all the human waste, millions of tons of rotting human flesh... but i guess they have already increased the number of waste incineration plants for this purpose
the fourth pillar of well-being we call purpose
for - fourth of four pillars of wellbeing - purpose - finding it in our everyday life here and now - Youtube - Tukdam talk - An Overview Of CHM’s Work On “Well-Being And Tukdam” - Prof. Richard J. Davidson - comparison - intention vs attention
comment - Davidson does not provide much rich commentary on purpose, although it is quite an important idea to consider. - Intention is synonymous with purpose - The reason we consider the word intention instead is that we can compare to attention - intention - purpose or focus direction of future work (fourth pillar) - attention - focus awareness (first pillar) - Both of these acts are acts of constraining from the infinite field of our reality to a very narrow one - intention - among the infinite things I CAN do, I choose to do THIS specific one - attention - among all the infinite things I can sense, I choose to sense THIS specific one
Transcendence requires that we begin where we are – here, today

The great koan collection, Mumonkan, means The Gateless Gate. Gateless Gate means you can enter the Way anywhere, even here, even now, even like this. The great dualism in our lives as lay people is to imagine this divide between us and the real thing, to feel that the gate is a monastery gate, the gate right here.
for - Zen - meaning of the Mumonkan koan collection - the Gateless Gate - anyone can enter the Way anywhere - even here and now - Barry Magid - adjacency - Mumonkan - Deep Humanity - generalized Gateless Gate for all cultures ensnared by the - polycrisis - spiral dynamics
adjacency - between - Zen Mumonkan Koan collection - generalized Gateless Gate - Deep Humanity - Spiral Dynamics - polycrisis - adjacency relationship - Spiral dynamics - revisiting Mumonkan koans many decades later, I can see how my aspirations with Deep Humanity has been connected to the Gateless Gate - I've always conceived of open source praxis of Deep Humanity as a kind of Gateless Gate, - In this way, it has its roots in it - Mumonkan had to evolve for the context of the polycrisis, which touches EVERY culture so - the culture of one particular esoteric spiritual path would be frowned upon by many other established traditions - In this case, having a generalized Gateless Gate is necessary to address the polycrisis so that everyone is included - Deep Humanity is best seen as the Gateless Gate for any human INTERbeCOMing, anywhere and anyone can enter the way that defines our species
The place of the here and now IS the true reality and that can’t be described by any of the words above or by language.
Hence, the here and now is actually indescribable. Also can be called the nameless but already therein is the contradiction. To name the nameless as "the nameless" already creates contradiction. Hence, contradictions will always persist in using language to point to the indescribable.
And yet, the indescribable is all around, and language and concepts refer to things that are exactly in this space. Hence the inherent contradiction of using concepts and language...all words, all concepts essentially describe the indescribable. We can feel into this situation by applying Vervaeke's 4 P's.
