    another great talk. And it's very interesting that when I have a certain type of hard times in my life Ajahn always talk about something connected/related with it and helps me get through it. Thank you Ajahn Brahm, without you I wouldn't be alive today.

    Thanks for Ajahn Brahm talk, being the light of the end of the tunnel. Freed me from Anger, Depress. Worries, Procrastination. I finally able and powerful enough to make decision come out the muddy and worry doings that let me see my contribution to my Karma. I basically repaying for my BAD "seeds" that I have planted for 45 years. I have do the right things for 45 years. Now I willed to make goods to make right. I will to put in effort this time round. The past is the PROBLEM. Future does not the ANSWER. We live in the present. For now on, I take charge and responsible of my LIFE.

    Re: 13:50 (1) not acting out of just your own personal desires, not acting selfishly and not acting selflessly. (2) not out of I’ll will (3) not out of stupidity (4) not out of fear - are you afraid of what other people will think?

    I love the bit on the past being "iniffable"...but sometimes I still fall into the trap of "iffing" my past . The logical part of my mind understands this is a choice I can make, as Ajahn Brahm rightly points out, but how do I stop my emotional brain from falling into the same old habit-trap?
    btw, thx for uploading...these talks help and enrich my life tremendously.

    What about trauma? It got stuck in my body, makes it react in many ways, my thoughts aren't able to control this. So even if I don't think, my body still reacts with panic and fear...

      HI"Friend...try to find out what causing you to be panic and fear...because every problems in this world..have their own causes..impossible that.. there is nothing to start it..to ignite it..to trigger it..set your mind to be calm..cool..clear from anything that disturbing you to be upset..stay in a suit place..looking longly forward..greenish colour terrain is good (residential area mixing vegetations,trees are acceptable these are not dead rules..Isolated yourself alone.. no music..no phone..no lines..no link..(like meditation but still opening your eyes)asking yourself with your mind(no needed to talk to yourself)..WHAT CAUSING YOU...THINGS CAUSING OR HUMAN CAUSING..OR ANYTHINGS ELSE..."TRAUMA"is sophisticated issue connecting to that one"s mind(sub-consciousness).SO!!..starting with your mind first..**👌cheer you.😊✌

      Maybe he was falling asleep, maybe he was deeply concentrated on every word of the lecture...who knows.. only him. Anyway, I think it's not veey appropriate the previous replies to your question, especially that's written in capital letters. Was he or she angry, yelling at you? Oh dear, how much ignorance there's in the world and people thinking they know it all...

    Dear Ajahn Braham - I love your talks! but you cannot use Dog Poop to fertilize .On the flip side ---- i get the idea...

      @michaelpham678 8 лет назад

      +sumozmom
      Actually it goes like this: Scrape dog defecation--> dilute dog defecation--> fertilize plant. Ajahn Brahm makes a good point, but first after the dog defecation of life, one must dilute said defecation aka life shit.
