Fabulous and succinct clarity regarding 3 jewels. Much appreciated. More clarity regarding the spiritual principles you are referring to would, perhaps, be super helpful! www.grateful.org, ahimsa www.compassioncourse.org

Never thought about gratitude like this as an alternative to reaching for an external resource to soothe myself when craving freedom from dukkha. Thank you

Very helpful way to integrate the 12 steps into personal experience across attachments, aversions, 4th step inventory, and 4NTs +8FP!

Thank you 🙏 So wise and true ✨ Conscious thinking and awareness and knowing what is the right next action sometimes conflicts with my intense emotional longing to feel good, to feel ok. In such moments of conflict I struggle to accept and allow these strong feelings whilst allowing right intentions to guide my next right action. It can feel like an endless struggle 🙏🩵
