00:00:00.000Years and years ago, when I first found Also True, one of the things that engaged me about our faith is that we have that our primary God, Botan, lives at the conjunction of thought and memory.
00:00:15.480so that in and of itself is mindfulness like odin is mind odin is awareness and um so that
00:00:27.520so that brings that to the fore in the way that it is not
00:00:32.460addressed in any other faith that i've ever run across and i think in a lot of ways this topic
00:00:40.820Mindfulness is kind of a conjunction of a lot of the other things that I've talked about on this segment over the last few months.
00:00:55.040It's about how many calories have I eaten today?
00:00:58.520Should I eat this sugar or should I have a salad?
00:01:01.920Should I have this overloaded fatty cheeseburger or should I go home and cook a chicken breast?
00:01:09.200I mean, those are the sorts of things that if you have some degree of self-awareness, mindfulness, then you can ponder those sorts of things out for yourself.
00:01:20.840A question of mindfulness fits in with a lot of the other things that we do in All's a True because there's no line between this and that.
00:01:31.760You know, it's kind of a process that you have to engage in and you and by being by having self-awareness and by actually being engaged in your life, then you can ponder these questions out as you go.
00:01:49.200The one of the examples that always comes to my mind, example of driving, like when you're driving, you're doing whatever.
00:01:58.560like one of the guys says i just zone out you know i'm just driving along and like that's the
00:02:04.240most boring part of my day is the time that i spend in the commute which irritated me on two
00:02:11.040levels number one you should never turn your brain off like that number two he's that guy
00:02:18.160daydreaming when the light turns green and sitting there for three or four seconds while
00:02:22.560while the rest of the line is waiting to go,
00:02:27.480or he's driving along at 72 miles an hour in the passing lane, you know,
00:02:30.960while the rest of us have, you know, are late to food pantry.
00:02:34.960And all those are the kinds of things which, and it's fine.
00:02:38.000If you want to drive slow, I, that is,
00:02:41.040that is certainly an approach to driving in a vehicle,
00:02:44.960but just not on the same road as Alan.
00:02:48.360You can be on the same road, but just be in the correct lane. Okay.
00:02:51.600If you're going to drive slow, drive in a slow lane, okay?
00:02:55.480Don't make me bright my lights and honk my horn or you just get out of the passing lane.
