Thank you ! that honestly means a lot. The whole reason I started writing this was because I kept seeing these connections and couldn't find people talking about them. Knowing it resonated with something you were already sensing makes me feel like I'm on the right track :)
"The challenge for both meditators and AI researchers: these optimal states can’t be forced, only cultivated through the right conditions. The deepest contemplative states aren’t achieved through doing but through undoing — removing obstacles that prevent natural awareness from operating clearly." - well said!
Very interesting parallels between the cognitive mechanisms of meditators and the current architectures in AI. 👏🏾 This is right up my alley, I'm a software engineer with extensive yoga training. Looking forward to reading more!
I love your perspective. It crystallizes something I've been feeling for some time now, without being able to describe it.

Thank you! That intersection you carry — software engineer and contemplative practitioner, is exactly the lens this newsletter is built for.
Really glad you're here. We go deeper into these convergences every week. Welcome!
