There is no paradox. But then again.. I can see how it can seem to be so.

[@marciestoddard730]

Whats going on with the intro? Makes me want to click off the video, unfortunately.

[@as_the_turntables]

What's your question exactly?

[@cosmiccreator]

You need to work on gratitude beloved. You are given this talk for free. Bless you.

[@poetryjones7946]

Me too, it drives me nuts coz I listen to these on long drives and commutes so I can’t safely fast forward. On the other hand, along with the road rage folks and freeway tailgaters, and wanting to kill myself to avoid these pointless rambling intros it helps my practice, right? Peace out everybody ✌🏽😹✌🏽

[@marciestoddard730]

@@cosmiccreator you need to work on self focus and self awareness:) and minding your own business perhaps. Thanks!

[@marciestoddard730]

@@as_the_turntables my question is just as stated in my original comment, easily viewed above. You good?
