Yes! I wanted to increase my calmness and reduce the drama in my life. I condensed what I practice into 7 tips. Try them out for yourself and increase the calm in your life: https://app.convertkit.com/landing_pages/319178?v=7 https://twitter.com/DalaiLama/status/989798955176280064
So back in December I decided this was the year I was going to study Tantra in earnest. Bliss=emptiness=bliss, repeat. Been reading an amazing book the past week and strangely, so much is so familiar to me.
For me, the practice is being aware of emptiness, feeling the emptiness, feeling something from the emptiness bloom into ... whatever it is... seeing that as bliss. And then it returning to emptiness.
The thing that got me in my reading today is using the energy of various things ("bad" emotions like anger, attachment) and instead of obliterating them, turning it to use in the path to enlightenment. Emptiness to anger, bliss to use the energy positively.
Not having expectations is hard for me. My brain gets an idea and likes to ride that train across the universe visiting all the possibilities. Hey, I am a futurist, I'm trained to see possibilities.
Seeing and knowing those possibilities is one thing, not having an attachment to one or any of them occurring is hard. The hope (and fear). Which ones do I desire and why. And hey, let's look into that attachment there, while I fall into a nice fantasy rabbit hole.
I can see how deep the tantra rabbit hole goes. And I'm already falling/floating in the no-space, ungrounded now-here. Here, with emptiness. Now, with bliss. I'm learning so much not-thinking about this whole topic.

Current status in the Mojave: Heavy cloud, no rain.
There is something delicious waking up to rain in the desert. The barely audible patter of water on sand, like walking in moccasins. The pungent metallic smell of creosote. The drop in temperature with a warm dog snuggled by my side. The expansive views obscured by mist. I dream.

This song pretty accurately reflects my gender rage, with a nice pop beat. Every single lyric in this song is epic. "Oh I'm just a girl, living in captivity" https://youtu.be/PHzOOQfhPFg
If you know anything about my LA time, then you'll know I'm a pretty big fan of this song, but a certain mash-uped version. The banana became a theme for over a decade. https://youtu.be/Kgjkth6BRRY

Sometimes you have to go back to your old love, ELO. https://youtu.be/wh3i3vWgPyk Oh how I miss the levity of the world when we'd flash mob.
You know all those browser tabs you have open? Me = same number of tabs on an excel spreadsheet.
Pretty sure I'm creating ideal dinosaur habitat and the lizards and desert fowl are just miniatures.
I'm doing a minor experiment in habitat change on my property. I've planted a dozen trees and another dozen shrubs/roses bushes this spring. In addition to native Mojave desert cacti.
All of it is run on drip irrigation. Yeah, I know, it's water in the desert, but I see this as a cost for habitat creation. It takes a year or two for these guys to really acclimate. My last batch of trees/planting are finally thriving.
The goal here is to plant trees and shrubs that reduce the ground heat, through dappled leaves, on the ground. This keeps the water in the ground, which helps the plants that grow. It also reduces the "bake" factor.
Sure, it's still hot as an oven, but there are many little cool, moist nooks for wildlife to thrive.
And it seems to be exploding. With the plants, comes an explosion of insects. In the past month, I've seen huge lizards (chuckwallas). Yesterday there were 2 over a foot long! (Hence my dinosaur comment.)
The rock dove population was at 3 dozen earlier this year, but now there are just a couple pairs that come around. I still throw the seed out to them. But their fat bodies fed all variety of predators - coyotes, owls, hawks, maybe a bobcat (tho they live down the road mostly)
Aside: last night on the dusk dog walk I saw my first owl. It was hanging onto the electrical wire in the very windy night. As we got closer, it did that drop swoop thing that owls do and disappeared into shadows.
Birds have AMAZING eyesight. I can just imagine that owl was waiting for some desert mice!
Speaking of mice, I haven't seen too many of them around. An occasional kangaroo rat (who are so cute, like a cottonball with a string). There is a ground squirrel and grey squirrel who live on my property. Luckily, they stay away from the house. (Thanks dog pee.)
The real bullies of the neighborhood are the jackrabbits. They are total jerks and do the most damage, eating any plant or cacti that doesn't have chicken wire around it. Including some super gnarly prickle cacti.
There is a cottontail that lives under my shed, and it's cute, but again, I have to be super ruthless with it to not chomp my new plantings...
Kinda waiting for some coyotes to eat those jackrabbits.
Speaking of coyotes, they have been really quiet. I've rarely heard the pack back in the hills. They seem big and healthy. They are probably gorging themselves on the abundance of wildlife that is spring explosion.
But those fecund days are over. We've hit the summer season, and 100+ degree days are normal. The lizards love this. 10-11am is lizard bathing o'clock.
And let's talk hummingbirds. So many of them. And they have so many blooming flowers to choose from: orange ocotillo, psychedelic bougainvillea, orange honeysuckle, cacti blooms, roses, and just wait till my mexican bird of paradises come into being.
But even in that heat, all my work changes the habitat. It makes it more conducive for life to flourish. From the tiny aphids on my roses (attracting lady buds) to the dappled sunshine providing a relief to afternoon sun.
That's my goal. To create an oasis in the desert, with limited water, dappled shade, to experience the sweltering heat and the relentless wind. A place for humans and animals to live. /end

@leashless That method has been coming out of Hollywood for decades.
It's been a super emotional, closing of the things weekend. Started it out by handing over the foster dog to his new mom (success!!), then deflected from my cacophony identity (success?!?), and finally closed up the LA chapter of my life (bittersweet).
It's emotional in closing a big part of my life and identity. But it's exciting at the same time. I am choosing to make these changes. I am choosing the unknown. I am choosing to be something other than I have been.
I'm making room for whatever new thing will come into this space. I don't have an agenda, or goal list, or set of things for my "dream life." I've done those goals. I've made my dreams come true.
I'm curious for an adventure. I'm curious to see what happens - and how I respond. I'm curiously watching who falls away - wishing them well. I'm curious to who becomes important in my life.
Shedding is only uncomfortable until the new skin/wings/form dries. Putrefaction of the old, becomes something previously unimaginable. #blissandemptiness

@helenyung sometimes you have to surrender and let the 4 winds take you where you're meant to be. :-)
@nicoleradziwill In miles, no (but I suspect this may be an interim landing); in mindset, yes. Are you moving too?

I used to call myself in the role, "The glue that dries clear." If I do my job (as a PM) well, people think I did nothing (e.g. it doesn't fall apart). All the glory is taken by the other roles. https://twitter.com/noah_weiss/status/999311514556284928

One of the strangest things about living in a dome is hearing the softest whir of my Vornado perfectly from across the room. Volume is not increased, but the sound is available exponentially.
It's another night of research/writing to pop music.

Great advice from David Lynch. As a #bosslady, collaborator and person, I work to increase positivity and excitement on my projects and with my teams. We should be having fun and being our best selves while working! https://twitter.com/shallowbrigade/status/999415459039600640

I think this is a new high in home officing. There wasn't enough room in the dome for my other desk, so I put it under the pine tree. I'm sitting at it now, writing under the sunset with a glass of wine, a gibbous moon and a cool breeze in an awesome dress from a friend.
Under my rainbow, Don't tread on me flag, with the bunny rabbits hopping around.
Have you read Trouble on Triton @leashless. You might enjoy it.
TIL Ford Fiesta has a turbo version. :-/ Yeah, that is a judgmental Angelino driver eye roll.
RT @pourmecoffee: When the privacy updates keep coming.
imageSo today I got a talk rejected, got awesome feedback on a co-written "page-turner" of an academic paper (my 1st in cybersecurity) & am working hard writing a new report about the future of digital identity. Also this huge black crow almost walked into my living room moments ago.
I'm reminded that the life of a writer is to write a bunch a crap, delete a bunch of crap, and rewrite. Write, delete, repeat.
@angela_walch @dgwbirch Or government funded capitalism...
Guilty pleasure, taking a break to watch clips from the dark crystal as I write about identity... #insidejoke

SO GUILTY. I just learned about the term #silverlakeshaman. Into palo santo (oil version), making skin creams (shea butter style), homebrewed kombucha, living in a dome in the Mojave Desert, cacti... it hits closer than I want to admit.
Nothing millennial can ever be counterculture. There are just too many in the co-hort to ever counter culture. They ARE the culture. GenX is all counterculture at every decade and still going. #demographicculturewars #demographics #fightinwords
@nicoleradziwill It kinda looks legit to me... but I'd check on that domain...
@nicoleradziwill Ah... have you alerted Springer? Then that's some fun spear phishing examples. :-)
OK, so a cottontail almost came into my living room!!! The perils of a dog-less existence. :-/
And strangely, only 1 person mentioned this in my research on security in 2038. Kinda made me miss my x (or maybe his ultra-security-geekness) for a brief moment. #futureofsecurity https://twitter.com/nelz9999/status/1000930918842945536

TFW Your buddhist philosophy makes an appearance in the report you are writing...
Oh look, it's another evening writing to pop music. Why not?!
A full moon, the wind blowing through the Palms/Pines sounds exactly like martial arts films. I lay under the stars, watching the shimmering pinpricks of light. They seem to be closer to me in the moonlight. The comforting space of nature all around me.
Good morning, let's dance! https://youtu.be/wCDIYvFmgW8, https://youtu.be/SPlQpGeTbIE
Only generation I like better than my own is GenZ. They're the jaded heir to GenXers, with a digital bs detector. They might succeed where tiny co-hort GenX could not. Love em. #generationwarz #genz https://twitter.com/blazingxmexican/status/1001275653784776705
Coffee + OutKast = I may too amped for my calls today. LOL. https://youtu.be/PWgvGjAhvIw
That one Foster the People song that always psychs me out thinking it's This Mortal Coil. NOT FAIR to tease me with goth when I'm listening to pop!
@TheMadPrepper What if you are a vortex? #purpletornado
I was reminded this morning, that everyone who works in the identity space, is in it for a reason. You know what that is. It rarely has to do with making money.
@TheMadPrepper It me. #forceofnature
@rowhoop I thought that's what they were! But I was too lazy to come in from the moonlight drenched mojave and look at the internet.

Day 2 of ice cream (+ whipped cream + strawberries) for dinner. Hey, it was 100 degrees today!!
Sunset o'clock in the Mojave. A perfect temp, wind in trees, my hair, my lungs. I watch the colors west, while waiting for the fat moon to rise over the mountains in the east. Yeah, I'm writing late again tonight.
Watching the moon rise, a tease cresting the mountain, a flicker of light behind the clouds; I watch the moons of Jupiter as I wait. But then, there is this dim light, arcing across the sky, no moon, a satellite.
If you are working on a project that uses DIDs (Decentralized Identifiers) or using SSI (self-sovereign identity) technologies: I want to talk to you for some research I am doing. #ssi #identity #research
@el33th4xor This has been an #infosec situation for decades. Learn from that industry - especially the ethics of black/white/purple hats.
What's more interesting w/ speculation in cryptocurrencies, is that you don't have to do this thought experiment to make bank. Although, IMHO, you are in many ways contributing to the degradation of the human species (a much longer point). ht @angela_walch for pointer https://twitter.com/el33th4xor/status/1001632762561007621
A long day ahead. I start with strong coffee and strange magic. Before the moon sets, I have a week's worth of todos to bang through. Because THE ADVENTURE starts tomorrow.
Got another talk rejected. Definitely not gonna be in Vegas in August. (I'm kinda too busy anyway.) But you know, it's only 3 hours from the dome, so if you're in the hood, jet through the Mojave and stop by for some Breaking Bad Mojave adventures.
Classic rock goes great with excel spreadsheets.
@evanpro Wrong meditation method. ;-P
@evanpro Not at all! Although I'm working to crush the dominant paradigm - with the power of my mind. ;-)
@jerickso No, but I think it's either too academic, not down a security rabbit hole enough. I am likely taking it to Europe at the end of the month tho, so their loss. It's realy mindblowing, unusual stuff.
Current status: tornado power in the Mojave. All the dino-birds and dino-lizards are tucked into their nests.
So I'm researching a certain someone in the identity space - checking out his LinkedIN and what do I find? the best "recommendation" by his kid. LOL. Good one, you know who you are...
So my main "goal" for May was, "out of my comfort zone." ROTFL so outta it, free falling, ground nowhere in sight... Normally each month I do my GTD monthly checkin/recap w/ goals, etc. For the first time in years, June's goal is "Nothing." Ultimate surrender. #blissandemptiness
So I just found a camel spider in the house, and I couldn't bear to kill it or kick it outside, so now I am terrified to step on it. I'm telling myself it's probably hiding under some furniture after getting out of the wind.) https://youtu.be/GF_OAzfZEFI
