Early Notes

These are some early notes I found. I'm not sure if they are my absolute earliest, but they represent the seed of this website.

After reading Buddhism Without Beliefs and discovering meditation, I began exploring these ideas further. Early on, the Eightfold Path became a practical framework for mindfulness: I dedicated one week to each step—mindful speech for a week, mindful action the next, and so on—all while observing and contemplating how dukkha (suffering or friction) arose in myself and others. Alongside this, I read the Satipatthana Sutta and meditated daily.

This inquiry extended from a scientific and contemplative background—exploring the notions of objective reality and subjective experience—and sits within a broader spectrum of explorations across Christianity, pantheism, agnosticism, ignosticism, and atheism.

May your journey be as peaceful as is possible.
