Oh thank you so much for taking the time to write that Fran. It’s really lovely to hear that bits of the teaching land with people. And it’s always really lovely to hear from you anyway. All best Alistair.

Our positive imprints 100% DO spill out and effect the surrounding world - but not in ways that we can predict and control because of interdependence. Therefore the most skilful use of karmic awareness is to repeatedly bring positive intention to bear on our present moment mind states and not worry too much about how they play out. If we can carve out some time each day to watch this process moment to moment in our mindstream (ie by being meditatively aware of the imprints and patterns we create in our minds) then we gain confidence that this is true: bright intention does make life brighter.

Welcome John. We’re almost neighbours!

😀🌈😀

Great. Stay connected however suits you.

I hope you feel stronger soon. We miss you! 😢

Yes, I’ve come to appreciate that “counting” is just a concatenation of mental forms, sounds, ideas, breath. All of which are the “stuff” that can interest us when we’re meditating. Where I got stuck before was “thinking” that only pure breath counted. The great release is to be interested in it all as an ocean of shitting phenomena and then to swim or float in it all.

Hi Sue. It’s at 7pm UK time so I don’t know how that works for you. And yes, it’s a free part of Baobab

Hmm. Will review! Thank you for the feedback

Apologies @rach I was having to cancel on the hoof. You should have got an email as well but I’m sorry for the short notice.

Hi Meri-Sue. Greetings from Kathmandu. So glad you’ve joined us! 😃

Hi there Debbie, a very warm welcome. And if you have any questions, don't hestitate to write to me directly here. All best Alistair

Hi Gill, you just click on the box with the yellow square. This is always the link itself.

There was a bug with the link - but it's corrected now.

Dear Melanie, I am so sorry to hear about Simon's death. What a blow - and I will add him to my list of those who are travelling the bardo and wish him well in his journey. Sending immense love to you and Bear. Please do let us know if there's anything specific that you need help or support with in these coming weeks. Alistair

Indeed!

I did get this from Wix - so they are looking into this problem.

Hi Fran, sorry again for the late posting. I don't really know why it was held in a queue in the first place. But very happy to have these questions posted here!

Did you see Great Railway Journies? Yes. that was D. last summer...

How is Simon doing today Melanie?
