Also I’m beginning to dip my toes back into reading PD.net . :) Though instead of the more “religious” posts — which if I practice mostly makes me feel silly (~30 years of atheism will do that to you) — I’m finding the abhidamma section more to my liking. I’ve never been spiritual, always the propeller-head type, even if it’s right now too complex to wrap my head around I hope just a little at a time I’ll understand more and more and one day certain concepts may begin to ‘click’ a lot better than trying morning prayers which again mostly makes me feel silly, that I’m wasting my time on useless nonsense. (Not knocking anyone for whom that’s a comfort, I’m just not into that but good thing there’s multiple paths up the mountain! What little of what I began with abhidamma is “tickling my brain” even if most of it goes right over my head at the moment, so hopefully this will work a lot better than chanting foreign words and such. :) )
