Hi Open,

i get the idea of homeostatsis and i very much resonate with the idea of a pendulum swinging in one direction and the same way in the other. Feels to me this applies to everything in life and the more i get to know myself the less extreme the motion of the pendulum becomes. Over the years i cut out almost all soft comfort, just some watching movies and playing card games that consumes me sometimes.

What i am really struggling at the moment is how to stay in the sacred ground of beingness at all times within the business of daily life ... to be the eye of the storm. And it's becoming more difficult i feel, because the collective energy is so much more triggered. Certainly what i am going to try is taking more small breaks to breathe and taking quality time for contemplation.

Intermittent fasting is not bringing up much for me, maybe i've sufficiently equalised with the feeling of hunger during my years in Africa. I am actually barely feeling the want to eat - it's more a habitual thing. When you do 23 hour fasting, at what time of day would you take your meal? I imagine something like 2pm? Do you then fill up massively? There is still some idea in my mind that i won't be able to give to my body what it needs with just one meal a day.

Much love,
Thomas
