1. Vegan Convergence of the Peoples

The Internet event Vegan Convergence of the Peoples will be Oct. 28-29. The theme is the oceans and how we can help life thrive there. Here is Dr. Rao's promotional video for VCOP#15. Please share it on your social media platforms.

Looking forward to next weekend and seeing you all there!

2. Regarding Attention, from Charles Eisenstein

In a recently published conversation, Charles Eisenstein said:

Our responses to the physical and psychic pressures that bear upon us depend on what we allow ourselves to feel, in other words, what we pay attention to. That's actually where the choice lies. If you are able to ignore the world and blot out from your experience certain conditions of the world, then your natural response, the response of your body will be different. It depends on what you pay attention to. Ultimately, that's the only choice that we have.

You will live a very different life if you are able to not pay attention to the ecological and social ruin of the world. But ultimately, that ignorance will hurt more and more. Life will feel fake. It'll feel like you're not you. And you'll feel more and more like you're living somebody else's life. You can direct your attention away with the aid of stimulants of various kinds, addictive stimulants, which could be depressants, anything that can hold your attention away from what's really calling your attention. You can do that for an indefinitely long period of time until you make the choice that was inevitable all along. The choice is to pay attention to that which has been calling your attention more and more loudly.

Comment: I don’t think diversions are always bad. Sports, banal television shows, “trash” novels, etc. can help people relax, and I think good life balance requires a little self-indulgence. That said, I think mindfulness is liberating, and I will elaborate on this topic in upcoming essays.
