Re: Help :-/ Feeling discombobulated in social situations, perhaps due to mindfulness

Thanks Kim, DooDoot, Paul!!

I think it will take a while to acclimate to this new “me” - like a new pair of shoes - and I deeply appreciate the fact that this Sangha exists.

If it’s okay I may check in from time to time about how it’s going :roll:

Re: What is the Difference between the Lustful Mind and the Distracted Mind?

Yeah still stuck. Sorry. Here's a hypothetical. You are meditating, and 1.) hear a pleasant thing 2.) smell an unpleasant thing and 3.) touch a neutral thing. To me this can't be lustful mind as the feeling tone from the sound has not arisen to a full emotion. It can't be deluded mind as the neutral...

What is the Difference between the Lustful Mind and the Distracted Mind?

Analayo describes the difference as one of a mind marked by "lust" and one of a mind marked by "restlesness" in Saitipatthana: The Direct Path Ch. 8 , Loc 2676 (Kindle) I'm just wondering, 1. Are these two mind states mutually exclusive? 2. How would you describe the difference b...
