    Lesson 10: My Thoughts Do Not Mean Anything
    2026/07/28
    Marcus opens with a complaint: he checked his notes, and today looks like Lesson 4 with a new coat of paint. Then the lesson answers him in its second paragraph — the Course knows it's repeating itself, and says so out loud. What follows is the first real widening of the year: not "these thoughts are meaningless," but "the thoughts you think you think aren't yours at all." Sarah brings something small and recent of her own, Marcus refuses to accept one sentence in the lesson, and today's practice adds a line the Workbook has never asked for before.

  • Lesson 9: I See Nothing As It Is Now

    Lesson 9: I See Nothing As It Is Now
    2026/07/27
    Lesson 9 tells you, in writing, that you don't have to understand it — and for Marcus, an engineer who has spent his whole life earning the right to an opinion, that's the hardest sentence the Workbook has produced so far. He remembers an older technician who refused to explain a procedure for six months. Sarah admits the lesson is easy for her in a way she isn't sure she's earned. Today's practice is three or four periods, eyes open, excluding nothing.

  • Lesson 8: My Mind Is Preoccupied With Past Thoughts

    Lesson 8: My Mind Is Preoccupied With Past Thoughts
    2026/07/26
    Having spent a week discovering that we see only the past, Sarah and Marcus turn inward to the root of it — a mind so occupied with old thoughts that, as the lesson puts it, it isn't really thinking at all. Marcus admits to eleven minutes of rehearsing an argument he never got to have, Sarah brings something of her own about a paperweight on her desk, and today's practice turns out to have a line in it that quietly gives you permission to be annoyed by the exercise itself.

  • Lesson 7: I See Only The Past

    Lesson 7: I See Only The Past
    2026/07/24
    Sarah and Marcus take on Workbook Lesson 7 — the idea that everything we perceive is just a review of past learning, never the present moment itself. Marcus traces the idea through a vintage bicycle in his hallway that floods him with old memories the instant he looks at it, and the two connect the lesson back to everything they've practiced in their first week, from meaning and judgment to upset and projection.

  • Lesson 6: I Am Upset Because I See Something That Is Not There

    Lesson 6: I Am Upset Because I See Something That Is Not There
    2026/07/23
    Sarah and Marcus take on Workbook Lesson 6 — the idea that our upsets are never caused by the world outside us, but by thoughts of our own that we then project onto it. Marcus brings a middle-of-the-night scare (a coat mistaken for an intruder) to the table, and the two trace how "difficult people," grievances, and daily anxieties are really just mirrors of the mind, drawing on Kenneth Wapnick, Alan Cohen, and Carol Howe's recollections of Bill Thetford along the way.

    2026/07/20
