Practice • Ten Minutes Without Resolution

Originating teaching attributed to Nate McLaughlin during the Discovery.

Notice when the demand for immediate explanation is creating more suffering than the unresolved experience itself.

During the founding experience, Tyler remembers Nate saying, “I am a snake.” Nate later remembered repeatedly telling Tyler, “I am not a snake.” During the confusion, Nate repeatedly said: Dream state.

You do not have to control the narrative. You do not have to understand every moment while you are inside it. Sometimes the experience can simply be experienced.

Choose something you do not understand. For ten minutes, do not solve it, search it, or force an interpretation.

What were you afraid would happen if you did not know?
