As I look at my attempts to analyze different psychological phenemona from meditative insights, it all comes back to one thing. Grasping.

A quotation from A. A. Milne

He hadn’t gone more than half-way when a sort of funny feeling began to creep all over him. It began at the tip of his nose and trickled all through him and out at the soles of his feet. It was just as if somebody inside him were saying, “Now then, Pooh, time for a little something.”

A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English poet and playwright [Alan Alexander Milne]
Winnie-the-Pooh, ch. 6 “Eeyore Has a Birthday” (1926)

#Buddhist teachings identify #craving as the root of #suffering. A diagnosis strikingly validated by modern #neuroscience. The brain's #RewardSystem, driven by #dopamine, creates "wanting" distinct from "liking", trapping individuals in cycles of unfulfilled desire. #Mindfulness practices demonstrably modulate these neural circuits, offering empirical support for ancient #contemplative methods aimed at liberation from compulsive craving.

A quotation from Edna St. Vincent Millay

And what are you that, missing you,
   I should be kept awake
As many nights as there are days
   With weeping for your sake?

Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) American poet
Poem (1921-10-31), “The Philosopher,” st. 1, Ainslee’s Magazine, Vol. 48, No. 3

Heute habe ich am eigenen Leib erleben können, dass es eine dumme Idee war, auf der #LoFiCon zwei Spielrunden an einem Tag anzubieten.

Während #Warlock! tiefenentspannt lief, war jetzt die Nachtrunde #Craving eher zäh und komplett anders als geplant. Ich war einfach platt und müde, aber zumindest haben wir alle viel gelacht.

Aber jetzt: Roll for sleep 😴

Hmm, ich versuche seit längerem, ein #outbreakundead Abenteuer auf #Craving umzuschreiben. Und immer wieder scheitere ich daran, dass sich letzteres deutlich stärker auf Ressourcen und Survival konzentriert als OU, das durchaus gerne Konflikte und Kampf austrägt.

Vielleicht muss ich für die anstehende Craving-Runde auf der Lo-Fi Con in Leipzig nochmal komplett neu denken und was eigenes kreieren 🤔

Es ist heiß, die Kinder sind platt und liegen in ihren Betten und hören Hörbücher. Die Frau plant den morgigen Tag durch und der Hund liegt wie ein Teppich am Boden.

Also habe ich Zeit, mal ein bisschen #Craving vorzubereiten bzw. das angedachte Abenteuer zu portieren...
