one of my favorite meditation instructions are “don’t manage” from @FU_joehudson
do nothing can be interpreted as *do* nothing (attempt to silence all mental processes) rather than *do nothing* as in *don’t manage or interfere*

- how about “therapy does not work if you use your intelligence as a defense mechanism to avoid feeling and listening”reminder: "therapy" does not work if you have a higher IQ than the "therapist"
