Gate V · Self · Day 33 of 35
Return to the wanting list
The teaching
Wanting has a half-life. Most of it dissolves on its own if you simply refuse to act as its agent.
Today’s practice
Reread the list you wrote on day six — it is below. Cross out everything you no longer want. Buy at most one thing that survived.
Sit with this
What proportion evaporated without any effort from you?
What you wrote on day six
There are no notes from day six on this device. If the list lives on paper, go find it — the practice needs the original, not a reconstruction.
