Well, so much for the daily lockdown show. Paul has not been recording daily and lockdown is over here in Melbourne (for now). It has been five days since the last recording. Paul has been passing his lack of recording The ARC with, "Well, I’ve been busy," which is true, but what had been informing him in regards to his decision making in regards to his actions? In that Recovery way, it was a newcomer and an active addict that opened Paul's eyes to what was actually going on with him in the last week.
In this episode, Paul refers to the Narcotics Anonymous Basic Text, literature from Recovery Dharma, reflects upon his extremist behaviour and how that fits with the teachings of Buddha (it doesn't) and, of course, he always considers the teachings of Marcus Aurelius.
