1) What is the FraKctured ProjeKct?
2) When one is surrounded by what you’ve termed basement commentary, how does one avoid being sucked into it?
With luck, you might get one answer for nothing. Two is pushing it. So, rather than enquire - how much are answers worth to Mr. esherman93? - one answer for free…
Q: When one is surrounded by what you’ve termed basement commentary, how does one avoid being sucked into it?
A: By being present.
Easy words. Fortunately, the practice is not, in principle, difficult to grasp. The application is more so. Even better: how-to-be present may be learnt, pretty much as one would learn to play a musical instrument.
If we are not present, we are subject to all the forces and pressures of the daily world. If we are present, we remain subject to all the forces and pressures of the daily world, but we may not be swept away by them. We may even, in certain circumstances, be able to re-direct the current. The fundamental key to presence is the power of volitional attention.
So, how does one avoid being sucked into the noise and confusion of Basement Living? We begin by practising the attention.
How do we begin practising the attention? By Doing Nothing – as much as we can!
