light flowers freely going home way beyond the curtain leaves only one, none.

rise, fall, trust, rejoice! bound but free, no force nor fear.light flowers freely.

better dance unbound the soundless sound is boundless rise, fall, trust, rejoice!

let the sound direct! good intentions not all have better dance unbound

is to transgress full! when black seems white, and white black - let the sound direct!

Erwin’s cat deeply re-surrendered herself in the experience, conjoined her photons and atoms of the in-betweens, two worlds merged into one and the box disappeared. momentum and position fell into space and she changed her path and became a: quantumdancer 🙏

speaking with candor : that refusal to transgress is to transgress full!

Interesting.

please explain?

wondered the same when I first got here… but then forgot that there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

@Peaceful Hulk Your question (title and explanation thereof) seems contradictory, the wording is not well chosen in my opinion. Let me explain… A workaholic to me, would be a person, who enjoys work, in an unhealthy way, (like getting his fix) so that he forgets balancing work with socializing, eating, hobbies. Like a video game addict or a drug addict. Someone needing his fix, and be it to blend out the noise and find peace. (Why is another question…) Some work might be a bit like meditation, anyway. Some do it with the mind, some with compassion, some different, I guess. In my opinion work is not necessarily a hindrance. Oh but chose well. What you wrote below to explain your title question would instead suggest an external force of unhealthy personal greed (for lack of a better word) which would be relieved if that person would experience a shift of material gain that would remain, e.g. winning the lottery. Guess they wouldn’t be a workaholic afterwards then, no? So if someone ‘enjoys’ his drug and be it work or meditation or something, and his work being in accordance with his nature and dao, I’d say, yes possible. With greed alone, rather unlikely. - Still, I second that what Maddie and doc benway explained about balance. Can’t really explain the difference to what I meant well in words…. Thank you for your question, interesting!

As you would with any other contract?

time to say goodbye? move on. sometimes dynamics change, teacher becomes a student instead. If you’re not up to that, speak your truth and leave. no aversion, no attachment. it’s a deal you can withdraw from. you don’t owe anyone anything, if you tread careful. dependency should not reign a relationship like that or any. if it’s not beneficial for any of you, just speak up about it * in peace * and quit.

It seems funny and odd as first, then thoughtworthy if you think of a tyrant, or a Gestapo Officer, or a serial killer. They all are as well, then in this perspective? As you referenced the chap called Robert, I had a further realization… if you take integration seriously, relationships as a path (not one by my conscious choice) will show you what you are averse of or even despise and might need to integrate if you cannot become careless about it. It also reminded me of a series of dreams where I was in more than one perspective at the same time. Victim and perpetrator and a third non reactive bystander. Shocking really, I hate my path.
