Its new years, but if you have done Burningman or Landmark, well, you pretty much are declaring possibility all year long.

The rest of society waits for this one day to create new possibility, then becomes confounded by the "it" which stops them later in the year from being that possibility.

But not the people of LandMark or Burningman, they work all year to create some new possibility to let loose on the playa.

If you have done LandMark, well, then your not just the type who's life is falling apart. You probably are the type that can do Burningman or your job and have an amazing life to live into all year long.

Still, understanding is the boobie prize Werner Erhards said, and often, because we know what we know that we dont know, we are still subject to being human.

So the task is what can you do outside of the box to create something for New Years because its new years and you will live into this possible future?

      Ravi,

      Its an ongoing process.

      If you are a meaning making machine, your neural connection are all about creating meaning, or meaning connections... but most of these are assumptions, not just meaning connection of what is.

      So, you simply let go again and again.

      How do you do that...dont fight it, it doesnt take effort, its no effort, because effort is more thought.

      Have you ever meditated?

      I use a form of walking meditation, its a chant when my brain is thinking or making too much meaning.

      I say over and over again...in place of those thoughts... "its not whats so, its so what"

      I keep saying this until my thought lose their emotion, and I am calm again in the space of nothing.

      If you still need practice, go to a Zen center, they will help you with the nothingness being
