Some valuable insights in this chapter stood out for me e.g.:
“It really wasn’t even all that coherent… yet it was running his life!”
“Descartes didn’t have it totally right - I don’t just exist because of my capacity to think; I am the infinite potential within which thought itself arises.”
“The breath. Always returning to the breath – it was like an anchor into reality. It was a lot like the feeling of waking up from a dream. Remembering himself. Coming back into self-awareness. To presence. Such a strange thing to ever forget in the first place!”
Also how you interweave Paul's new 'spiritual practice' with his busy busyness-life (and awkwardness about mentioning this new 'hobby' to others) is very relatable.
Thanks E.T. for the kind words about my post.

Thankya Veronika! Always a pleasure to hear which pieces connect most with you.
“He was the space in which thoughts were happening, not the thoughts themselves!” 👏
