1/🧵 Worrying
 
If I’m #worrying, I’m usually either troubled over a past event or fearful of some hypothetical future event that might never happen.

📍Neither is real time.

The #present moment is where the action is if I really want to make a difference & find peace.
2/ In #Al-Anon (a spiritual but non-religious program I attend), we say that worrying is like a rocking chair. I’m doing something, but I’m getting nowhere.

If I want to get to a place of spiritual enlightenment, I must learn to #Live in the #NOW.

It’s easier said than done.
3/ Try moving thoughts of the past & future from your mind to create space in your 🧠 to completely soak up the “now” you’re living in. Imagine when you remove those past & future thoughts that are you actually have space to allow the present moment to fill your thoughts.

Concerning the historical-structural power relationship between rulers & ruled, #GabrielRockhill (gabrielrockhill.com) citing #DavidHume:

#history #globalization #technology #democracy #Zeitgeschichte
(1/6)
“Nothing appears more surprizing to those, who consider human affairs with a philosophical eye, than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few;

and the implicit submission, with which men resign their own sentiments and passions to those of their rulers.

Something went wrong with the thread on #Qurʾan #exegesis in #Urdu so let me try to reconstruct the remaining tweets 9/
First I want to mention perhaps the earliest proper #Shii exegesis was ʿUmdat al-bayān of Maulvī ʿAmmār ʿAlī (1828-1889) who has studied in Lucknow with Mumtāz al-ʿulamāʾ Sayyid Muḥammad Ibrāhīm (1819-1972) and later taught in Lahore and Delhi - I haven't located a copy 10/
From the 1970s we have the rather literary exegesis of the prolific Sayyid Ẓafar Ḥasan Amrohī (d. 1989) who worked extensively in India before moving to Pakistan in 1950 11/ Image

As #bioinformatician #biostatistician #DataScientist, have you ever felt you've done lots of work, yet achieved nothing? here is how to change that! A thread 👇 1/n
1 - #document rigorously your computing work - same as bench scientists do on experiments. Document your initial thoughts on data, your decisions, tests, issues, how you solved them, how you tried various tools, how you picked one over others. These are all *achievements*. n/1
2 - #track your tasks and efforts - make it quantitative. Write a weekly checklist on GitHub wiki; update and check it off at the end of a day. Version control your codes; push meaningful commits. Be aware of your time spent on each task. Numbers may be boring, but effective. 2/n

I started playing #guitar in college. Some of my friends back home played, so I thought I'd learn. It's been years since I kept up with it. With no job and an empty house, I had time. Plus, I could crank up my amp. Ava would have hated it. All the more reason to do it.
#vss365
Strumming a few chords or playing a riff through a loud amp usually makes me feel better. It's more of a distraction this time. My amp is a little old. Even a #ragpicker might pass on it. "If you're not going to play it, sell it," Ava nagged. Life always got in the way.
#vss365
Or I got in the way. Not even ten years ago I kept getting sick all the time. Painful stomach cramps would radiate weakness throughout my body. I learned how to wash it away like healing #rainwater. That's when I really started to figure out who I was and what I could do.

After much contemplation, I finally wrote about my experience with #Vipassana meditation.

ilareddy.com/2019/09/17/bre…

Sharing some quotes/excerpts/concepts in the thread below.
#Vipassanā in Pali means “#insight” or “seeing deeply”.

The practice of Vipassanā meditation, thus, revolves around training your mind to observe reality as it is, and not as you wish it to be. And in the process, overcome #suffering.
It is a #meditation technique that the #Buddha mastered over time and found to be the most effective in eradicating all kinds of suffering in the world.
