actually more available to you. You start to have more and more of these synchronicities and if you're actually aware of it, it's a fire Milarepa once said, phenomena are all the books one needs, let your world be your teacher. And so they're super common for people who start to open their minds. They can be actually cultivated, there are practices. There's a particular set of practices, called windhorse practices that are actually designed to cultivate auspicious content so practices can actually nurture this directly. A lot of other practices that basically open your mind and heart allow these synchronicities to kind of appear with a little bit more frequency and impact. And so the I really pay attention to these things, they're really cool. And so like the story you share, Matt is awesomely cool. So look at the work of Carl Jung, look up the word tendril a te N D Ral auspicious coincidence. Trumper RBJ talked about it. I think the last chapter he was marvelous book called glimpses of ABI dharma. He writes about this sort of thing as well. It's not at all uncommon in the so called spiritual business. And I have had countless of these sorts of experiences, as I'm sure everybody here has listened to. And so, by the way, any of these questions if somebody wants to come on and say a little bit more about them, that's great, but that's what comes to mind. Okay. All right here okay. So here's one from Tim, some nice comments. Thank you for those comments. Okay, so here's a question about reading these books of yours. Thank you. Thank you. You mentioned a great experience I had with TM Yes, transcendental meditation. It was my first form of meditation. It was a big deal experience. Right about it, I think in power and pain. First time in my life, where I was just beginner's luck, right, our first meditation session instruction, I entered this kind of beginner's luck Samadhi some early stage absorption stage, stay for sure. And it was a big deal for me. I loved it. I mean, TM was great. I still have a lot of respect for it was such a great successful meditation. Why did you not just stay with it? That's a good question. That's my main spiritual practice. Well, it's because Tina really didn't have much of a path back then. And they still I can't speak with a lot of authority here. I'm not that up on it. But I left TM for a couple of reasons. There was there was no path quality. They gave me it was great. I'm not dissing it. Wonderful mantra practice, fantastic. But then it was like okay, like now what right and so, that's one reason and plus mantra meditation in and of itself, as powerful as it is. It's just one meditation of dozens, right? And so, Mantra practice, generally, especially the way TM does it is concentrative. It's a it's a referential shamatha and as such is marvelously impactful, super important, but it's it's limited. It only has a certain bandwidth. And so when I started reading about the Buddhist Tibetan thing, oh my gosh, they transcended but included a yes, they have definitely TM related practices, like mantra for sure. It's actually archery out was called mantra Yama. It's that big. But then as you know, Tim, they've got dozens if not hundreds of other meditation practice. It's just the scope is so much bigger in my opinion. My experience in the teaching is so much more profound for me for me. Yeah, so what made me switch to Tibetan Buddhism? I don't know it just happened to be in the neighborhood, right. I had a deep connection to the etymology, but as the awakened one I loved, and continue to love the intellectual rigor. It's really kind of intelligent in a certain way in a real way. The I mean, reading the guardian or read read dig dig Naga Garrick, dharma Keerti yoga Chara. These are some of the most profound thinkers in the history of the human condition. So it's an incredibly sophisticated intellectual tradition, as you know, has a vast array of meditations that's the number one reason and it has a lot of verification in terms of lineage, tradition, authenticity, in terms of this thing's been around for like, what, several 1000 years now. So for all those reasons to him, it just speaks to me but as you know, if you know the way I work, I roll with anything. I'm a deep student of Kashmir, Shaivism Advaita Vedanta, I love science. I love psychology. I don't care where the truth comes from in. I'm a Tibetan Buddhist, actually, I'm an American, studying Tibetan Buddhist. I'm not a Tibetan Buddhist.
