Day #88

Today’s favourite poses: Tree, Child (more like fetal)

Minutes with a relatively quiet mind: 20 or so


Today’s interesting/thought provoking reading: (Taken from At Home in the Muddy Waters by Ezra Bayda)


Nietzsche said that every word is a preconceived judgement. Consider the word ego. Using the word ego leads us to view it as an independent thing. But “ego” is just a concept describing a cluster of preconceived judgements that is definitely not one entity. This is an example of how ideas can limit us, imprison us. This individual “self” is just an idea, nothing more. To see through words and ideas is to come closer to knowing who we really are, and to understand what life is truly about.
