Beings Club

"The people at Beings Club that show up every Sunday are so very special. I didn’t know how fulfilling unstructured, exploratory conversations with internet friends could be. You show up. Do a practice for 15-20 to settle. And go right into conversations after. I have had several experiences of being seen, heard, and held. And I think you might too. It’s worthwhile to come to one session and hang out with all of us!"

Everybody has the potential to change. Anybody who doubts this has yet to meditate.

to me, connection means engagement, memory, and relationship-building. i can recall and build upon meaningful connections. consumption feels more passive - if you asked me what i just scrolled through, i probably would not remember.

i think what makes social platforms feel 'human' is when they facilitate those memorable interactions rather than endless streams of slop.

so active participants aren't just producers of content, they're producers of containers that encourage "aliveness" on the network.

"Beings Club gently reminded me that not everything needs to be figured out in advance. Some things unfold better when you don’t force the outcome. 

One insight that stayed with me is how powerful it is to share unpolished ideas with people who already understand the context. That kind of mutual attention made it easier to let go of control and trust that something meaningful would emerge just by being present."

HIGHER

"In my own experience, I can see that we can act ourselves into a new way of feeling much quicker that we can feel ourselves into a new way of acting.

So, don't just wait to be inspired to do your practice regularly - whatever it is you practice. Start being regular and inspiration/blessing may turn up sooner than you expect!"

i dream of a /higher that is the most generous, positive-sum, culture-elevating community ever. 

period.

One can become greedy for the future. Especially, if one has already experienced success.

The truth is, there is no ultimate satisfaction. Everything changes.

Recognising the futility of our endeavours, we may find some extra freedom to appreciate what is already here, now.
