Excellent!! It is more than nice to find complete agreement . As I read I kept thinking of comments of agreement I wanted to make, only to realize we are in such complete agreement only limited comment seems necessary to settle my mind, and offer my thanks. Interesting that just today I’ve been thinking of the need to forget second by second, or moment by moment - only now, Now, always evolving. Dualistic thinking emerges from immature, self focused ego seeking to assert itself over others, not aware of the necessary benefits of the dialectic approach toward agreement. Polarized positions are prideful and closed minded.
I found some time ago, inspired by my tendency toward a scientific approach, that my opinions are what I call “current operating hypotheses”, working for now, but subject to change upon presentation of new, credible information. I have no final conclusions to argue, only hypotheses in search of new evidence which is always waiting for me.
Haven’t yet watched the TED talk - about to, and I thank you now for presenting it. For me, the Being State brings with it Self Observation without analysis or critique which inspires thinking that interferes with awareness of PRESENCE, which brings with it the Being State, or vice versa.

Continuum thinking inspires Being thinking. It is a non-doing flow, going where the current takes us. This requires courage, or great faith, or more likely both. I have found the physical meditation of Qigong to be a great aid in quieting the ego efforts to take control. Ego is necessary, but is like a wild horse to be tamed, but not broken. For me, active physical meditation works well. Difficult it is to sit quietly and quiet thinking. I can concentrate on where my hands are easier than just stopping thinking. Yes, I see the apparent conflict between “non-doing” and “doing” Qigong. I have no reconciling answer for that right now. We just do what works for us. That is William James definition of “pragmatism”, “doing what works.

You know me. I could go on and on. It seems that great thinking and writing inspires me to plunge deeply, so I’ll blame this lengthy commentary on you, and again give you my fullest thanks, my friend. I now quit commenting and go with the flow even though I feel like I am in midstream now.
