I like this! Didn’t know he was into all this stuff. Really cool.
He does the same thing I tend to do rather often. When I take hot showers, I sometimes put the water on all the way cold to train my mind to not react uncomftorably to it. The way cold water makes me feel… being ‘bad’ is just an idea… Just like anything ‘negative’ that happens that I’d consider ‘bad’ is just an idea. So if its just an idea, then technically I can choose to feel however I want about it. And feeling at peace when the water is hot or cold is a way to start feeling at peace when negative or positive things happen in my life.
It’s a nice way to train the mind to think non dually. I try to do this as often as I can when I encounter ‘undesirable’ things throughout life in general.
