Opinion Is A Coffin; Attention Is The Key

Chat GPT: After a week of inner turbulence, the host flips the format: wisdom first, nonsense after. He reads Sadhguru’s 2016 Tennessee darshan on “Transactions of Life,” where incentives and opinions can move you through society but never into life. The talk argues for unprejudiced, intense attention—no carrot, stick, or hope-for-tomorrow—because attention opens doors, while opinion shuts them like a coffin lid. Blossoming, not bargaining, is the point: thoughts, emotions, actions matter only if they fertilize that blossoming. Consciousness isn’t “mindfulness” or belief; it’s direct contact with reality, now. Post-reading, the host admits to a depressive bent, an AI “data cap” detour while making memory cards for homeschool, and a resolve to keep going—petition, cartoons, and all—because “how we are within is our making.”
