Hey thanks for this Bryan. Outside of the content (which itself was very edifying), it’s interesting that I never imagined your voice to sound as it does. Funny how our minds interpret from written words how something might sound on audio.
When I feel stuck in an uncomfortable psychic zone — anxiety, despair, paralysis, or what-have-you — for me to acknowledge that these are common to the human condition, and also inwardly tell myself, “this too shall pass,” invariably I am seen through the tumult and on into a brighter realm of the mind.
Thanks again –
A.P.

Although I’m not a Buddhist I was very much struck by Gautama’s pointing towards the inevitable rise and fall of EVERYTHING. I love that. Because it means to treasure every moment and also understand that things do rise and fall every moment.
Thank you for the response.

I always think I sound differently too!!!

Yes, the Buddhist principle of impermanence. But funny the preconceptions. For some reason, the general psychic flow and specific usage of words like “dharma” got me to presuppose your were a Buddhist. I see now that this was presumptuous of me.

I do understand. Dharma is also a word from the Hindu path that means Wisdom. It’s in that meaning I use it.
Be well,
