Keidō ThotlandHostBut I do want to talk a little bit today about some things that I have found confusing in my practice.
Things that I find confusing when I walk in the building and I see things happening that I don't know what's happening.
Or I think I know what's happening, but is that what's happening? I don't know.
I have no idea sometimes.
But it can be misunderstood in a way that is not very helpful, and sometimes even can be harmful.
And it's about practice, and it's about the self, and it's about these misconceptions that I had And I'm sure I have new ones to replace the ones that I think might have gone somewhere.
So if you have misconceptions or confusions when you walk in the door, when you're here for 30, 40 years, that's OK. That's par for the course.
I hope it's par for the course.
Somebody else can tell me if it is or not.
That's okay.
And if you don't have any of those misconceptions, yay, great.
What's that like? I don't know, I don't know.
