Yes

I blame both of you for making my life more enjoyable

We accept!

Wow could have used the blame portion on Friday.

It's never too late to start stopping.

Tommy you should update your Med 101 stuff on your site also if you get some time .

Thanks for the prod. I just added a link to a Jon Kabat-Zinn guided meditation that he did at Google. And I made a note to go add stuff to that page more often. :-)

(also tommy, make ur book cheaper in germany plz...)

Hey! Cut me some slack here! I have a very expensive video-making habit to support!

With regard to playing the blame game...at what point are you responsible to speak the truth (right speech)?

There's a difference between falsely blaming others or circumstance for your own weakness, or correcting others' accusations out of a sense of "justice", and communicating to others (and oneself) the truth for the sake of the greater good.

That monk needs to say to that girl, "I was in my garden with my fellow monks (or wherever he was) when you said I got you pregnant."

Because, it's better for the girl and those involved to face reality as it is. Plus, there may be some guy out there running around getting girls pregnant and taking off. A reality that people should be aware of.

Just as, in poker, it's much better to say, "I missed that turn bet" or "I got outplayed" or "I shouldn't have played that hand OOP" rather than blame luck, your opponent, or simply shrug and do nothing about it.

Speaking the truth plainly to others and yourself, not for the sake of feeling vindicated or out of a sense of a justice, but for the sake of the truth...is a better course of action.

This is one of the areas where I still have more questions than answers. The truth - yes - that is the objective. But the nature of truth itself at every moment in every situation is ALWAYS entirely dependent on the judgments going on inside a human mind. And as we know, one man's truth can be another man's fiction. This happens billions of times per day.

I do believe it is possible that when the Monk chooses not to correct the facts, that he is speaking a level of truth that is higher than anything I have ever spoken. I don't understand it. But I do have faith that this is so.

I think one of the coolest things about this series is its application to everyday life, not just the obvious poker situations.

Thanks again for your work on this series Wayne and Tommy!

No no no, thank you. Hey, top billing? Far more than I deserve. All credit goes to The Great Kazoo. I just added punch lines. <cue rimshot>

Seriously, Tommy and I appreciate all of you for downloading and watching or listening. We tried always to keep you in mind as we worked on it and it seems we accomplished our goal. If someone hears us fifty years from now and we are still relevant, then we did it. If we aren't, then it is a far better world.

Working with Tommy was one of the best things that ever happened to me, and if any of you are envious, know that I understand and my good fortune never went unappreciated. If I am not the better for it, then the fault is certainly not Tommy's.

As we often said to one another, we could not have done it better, only different.

Best wishes to all the DC guys, and special thanks to Entity, who made it better.

Wayne

Great stuff. When do we get to see the second part?

Tommy you are amazing!!!!! Change my life bro. Thanks so much..

Thanks for your response. Now, I can tell all my friends that I've actually conversed with the great Tiltless Tommy.

Surely, there must be some objective truth. 2+2 is always 4. Focusing on my Breathing is good for me in a number of ways. These are universal truths, independent of what I think about them. I can choose to deny them in my own mind, but that's not going to change the way reality operates.

As an aside, I can see that the monk in your parable is operating on a higher plane. I suppose if i was so completely at peace with myself that i desired nothing, then i guess nothing anyone said or did to me could ever affect me. I'm a long way from that state though.....

Cool, found 4 of my biggest tilts:

- This player is horrible but he keeps winning - tilt
- Man the software annoys the crap out of me - tilt
- This guy is typing trash in the chat against me - tilt
- Those guys are talking crap about me in the chat - tilt

I've mostly been using it for rap lyrics, but this seemed quite appropriate
