00:00:00.080 I was in my 30s before I understood that sitting Indian style was dot, not feather.
00:00:09.980 I was today years old, so that's okay. Thank you, Matt.
00:00:14.860 You're welcome, Nick.
00:00:17.980 That's what we do. We share our knowledge.
00:00:22.100 Such as it is.
00:00:23.660 Such as it is.
00:00:25.360 um yeah there's something to that and i think that um the well actually crowd
00:00:36.620 is always very hyper focused on what we don't have versus what we do
00:00:46.640 i don't know exactly how our ancestors practiced their contemplative meditative practice
00:00:56.080 but i know that they did and i think there's probably a lot of right ways to approach that
00:01:04.740 there's probably a lot of experimentation to approach that
00:01:08.560 we can lament all of the ways that we don't know how ancient peoples did a thing 0.58
00:01:17.360 but to harken back to an earlier topic that's masturbatory
00:01:26.220 instead we could spend our time knowing the things that we do know and experimenting
00:01:35.280 to find meaning and value in that practice
00:01:40.580 in a way that honors our ancestors.
00:01:44.040 Instead of complaining and bemoaning what we don't have,
00:01:48.980 we can make an earnest attempt in the present
00:01:51.660 to actualize what we do have
00:01:54.580 and see what works and what doesn't.
00:01:59.200 And so I think that we owe it to our ancestors.
00:02:03.140 We certainly owe it to our descendants to take the things that have been passed to us and to do our best to innovate a way forward on the things that we don't have complete knowledge of.
00:02:19.420 that's in keeping with our tradition it's in keeping with the example of the all father
00:02:25.320 i think it is a a very prudent thing for us to do and there have been many pioneers to help us
00:02:32.480 towards doing that um it is a it is a steady refrain on victory never sleeps but don't let
00:02:42.940 perfect be the enemy of good
00:02:44.940 go out and figure it out
00:02:48.380 Thank you.
