Optimize With Brian Johnson | More Wisdom In Less Time

Feed the Good Guys   In our last couple +1s, we hung out with a couple of wise Indian masters and their gurus.    We talked about what to do if we’re afraid of ghosts (approach them!) and how to deal with the bitter process of changing our behaviors (keep chewing!).   Today I want to chat about ghosts for another moment.   This time we’ll go a little further east and visit Vietnam where the great Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh was born and raised.   When I searched my Mac for “ghosts” to find the Yogananda wisdom I was looking for, I saw that Thich Nhat Hanh ALSO talked about ghosts in his great book No Mud, No Lotus.   Here’s the passage.   He tells us: “The Buddha said that nothing can survive without food.

Love needs to be nurtured and fed to survive; and our suffering also survives because we enable and feed it. We ruminate on suffering, regret, and sorrow. We chew on them, swallow them
