IN-PROGRESS: 12/28/25

I woke up this morning with ravenous curiosity about what Siddhartha will learn next after his descent from the mountain. From my skimming, it seems that in the next five chapters (15-20) we get into the heart of what this liberation from suffering might feel like, look like, sound like. So that's where I'm starting my day: curled up on the couch with Old Path White Clouds, working through some of the more philosophically complex discoveries he makes. I'll share those with you as my "warm-up" before launching into the last installment of the ongoing GPT/Mirrors/Thresholds series. Maybe there will be some wisdom that can help mitigate all the horror that the last ~6 months of 2025 have had to offer. Fingers crossed! I'll report back soon.

Here's the rough agenda:

• The Meditation/Enlightenment Journey: OPWC Ch. 15 - ? (see how far I get! Possibly through 20)-- early afternoon, around 2 pm

• Shimmering Thresholds: Montage-Meditation V—evening/night, around 7 or 8 pm

More soon! The work continues, hoping for better days ahead.
