Peter made some audio recordings for his new book Whereof One Cannot speak. I am helping and turning them into some audio based YouTube videos. Here is a draft in progress that I am sharing with you here first. It is unlisted and not publicly available. Enjoy! Look for more on Peter's youTube channel soon!

Hello guys, I am happy to be on this platform. If anyone is of you interested in doing physical exercise for increasing your level of consciousness, get in contact. I am offering weekly classes face to face in Frankfurt a.M, Germany. The training is centering on Cheng Hsin - Art of Effortless Power. Most participants are on a beginner level, so it is really easy to join and have fun with nice people. The focus is on Body Being, how to become physically effective and powerful in an effortless and relaxed way.

Peter talks about 3 legged dogs a lot and that they seem to be totally at ease since they don't hold their situation as a predicament. So here is a video of Deuce, a dog with just 2 legs left. Watching my mind while watsching this video is insightful, noticing that I tend to hold things like "There is no way that little fella can be this happy. How is it even possible that he is able to walk." Revealing how I hold my happieness and my ability to be so much dependent on my corporal integrity.

Thanks to @Viktor Balogh and everyone's contributions in yesterday's weekly session, I felt free from one of my core assumptions about life: 'This life is the only life I have, and I mustn't waste it.' I've had this one since childhood. I realise how some of my core suffering has stemmed from it. I've pressed myself to do something great, to sacrifice my life for a greater cause, etc. I realise I still can carry on with the work I consider meaningful, but simply because I find it joyful, and that's it. And it dawned on me: Life Can't Be Wasted. Wasting life is impossible! What I thought of as Life before is a great Something that is ever-continuing, ever-flowing. It is Real and ever-present and a mystery that sustains itself irrespective of what I happen to assume about it. Great session yesterday! Thanks, everyone.

At the end of the community session, earlier, @Viktor Balogh and @Lilia Hrabar briefly talked about grasping what another and another person's experience is. That sort of stuck with me and I contemplated on that question, trying to grasp what my girlfriend's experience is. As I was working on this, many things came up, images of how it might be to live life as her, how it is for her to work, how she is caring about her sick mother and how being with me is for her point of view. I could notice all these images as concepts that I have and that they are not, what her experience is. I kept wondering and investigating about what that thing is, that I call her experience. It also became clear, that grasping what her experience is is not becoming her as if looking through her eyes, because that would be my experience, then. Imagining all of that is just another concept, not her experience. I saw, that there still is something in my experience that I call "her experience" and as all of the other things (I just mentioned) dropped away, it suddenly became clear that it is just that, her experience, and I became conscious of what that is, as I dropped all those concepts. Now writing about this I realize, how mind-boggling all of this is, especially when trying to put it into words. Like trying to unsee an optical illusion but within my actual experience. Working through this self vs. other distinction feels very fruitful, though. Having had this realization and seeing through those workings of my mind at least for a brief moment, gives me confidence that this work actually leads somewhere. Thanks for that community session today! Any thoughts? Is anyone else working on this?
