How did you know the perfect intention and meditation I (and apparently a lot of others) needed at the end of this year, Jeff? Let's do the weird shit in 2025!! Or not, I don't give a fuck. 😂
I love the weird shit, especially from someone I trust like you who seems to understand what goes on in my brain and challenges me to accept that it’s all ok and normal. Going on theoretical tangents could be fun and maybe even life-changingly insightful. So, yes please Jeff, give us the weird shit.
This made me so incredibly happy today. I smiled, I giggled, I shared it with a few friends. It's 12:37pm on a Sunday, and so what if I'm still in my PJs? Fuck it! Thank you, Jeff.
I love your mind. It’s busy and brilliant. I wouldn’t be able to hold it. So fuck it. Listen to these comments and do whatever the fuck you want. ( and you don’t have to synthesize all this in a masterpiece. Just thoughts here and there from all you’ve thought about, read, listened, and experienced. And maybe a few references. Let others read further if they want. You stay relaxed. Life is short enough)
Chris, how do you know Jeff so well?! This is exactly what I attempt to do in my job - you nailed it! We’re thinking of publishing little digestible bits of his past writing as Notes in Substack. Maybe more - who knows!
Psssst. You never know.....this new approach combined with a dash of "Fuck It"-ry may end up resulting in the book the writes itself, Jeff and Lilli! Flow coming from freedom!
Thank you for all you do! All your expressiveness, fantastic edgy humour and exquisite honesty. I can really feel the most rawest, excruciatingly painful, grief and agony ridden and utopian elements of the human condition. Along with insanely beautiful NOTHINGNESS and simplicity. And not feel so crazy and alone.
Fuck trying to be what society brainwashes and conditions us to think we should do and be. Be what we are. Equanimity is self love to me. I am learning to stop fighting and arguing with life. Shadow-boxing at its finest.
Yes to the mystical consciousness to alleviate human suffering. 💜
Wow Malaya. Blessings to you. What a blazing comet of goodness you typed in here, I agree with every word, the agony and the ecstasy and the nothingness and the equanimity and fuck it all but also love it all
thank you. We are Shadow Boxing in the same match! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I loved this meditation. At 76, I try to follow this advice, but the "I need to" and "I should" often get in the way. Thank you for all you do. Nice to have a meditation that makes you laugh out loud.
10/10 Jeff. This was absolute perfection for me today. I laughed, I cried, and leaned into the sheer preposterousness of this whole concept of being a living body in this moment in time, whatever time even is!
And here's the thing, this was the ABSOLUTE CORE of meditation in my view, because it's really the ULTIMATE equanimity training. In a way, it was very much a "Don't Know, Don't Need to Know" training, but in a totally BADASS outfit. I struggled to settle in my practice yesterday. Today, I was laughing my way through my settling out-breaths in the beginning, and they landed me firmly into a joyous and almost spine-tingling settled feeling. And I love the idea that we have to remind ourselves all the time about, which is, let go of any pre-conceived ideas about how this meditation is going. It's going, and that's enough.
The thing that plagues so many of my meditations is my bullshit list of things I need to accomplish, complete, coordinate, and strategize...it forces its way into every meditation at some point or another, often multiple times. I have this ridiculously checklisted brain, likely as a result of my career in nursing, paired with my delightful OCD brain/companion. So, this meditation came as a HUGE fucking relief and almost like license to let go.
Thank you Jeff and thank you Lilli for keeping Jeff's fucking fuck-it brain on track for us! Love you guys.
and yes WEIRD SHIT PLEASE. I think most of us on #TeamFuckIt here are in agreement. Let's see how weird your brain really is, Jeff. 🥰
I’m down for the weird shit and all the woo-woo stuff you got! 🪄I’m curious if these insights you discussed while trying to write the book came with or without psychedelics. I’ve been reading about the benefits, but I'm also terrified of having a bad experience.
I’m a lifelong “not enough” person and exhausted. Saying, “Fuck it,” felt good as I sat among unfolded laundry and Christmas presents still strewn across the floor in my living room. ✌🏽💕
At some point, I’ll write a post about psychedelics, or maybe lots of little posts. 🤣 I’ve done a lot and some of those insights have been similar to meditation insights (others have been very different and distinctly psychedelic).
But psychedelics - like seated meditation – are in no way essential. They are also not a great match for a lot of people’s nervous systems. And of course, there are many different kinds of psychedelics, that you can take at many different possible doses.
So it’s a big subject and I am not remotely an authority!
Loved this meditation, Jeff. I woke up with a million things to do jitterbugging around in my brain. I feel much better now. It's weird how often your Home Base meditations and Daily Trip offerings on Calm just happen to be the exact right thing that I need at that moment. And speaking of weird shit, yeah, bring it on!

Ok I will!
Resounding support for that particular thought balloon, so it will happen friends. Thanks for trusting me!

Good idea! That I will discard ! Until I do not!
Yep
Very well said. Jeff’s brain is busy enough.
THANK YOU CHRIS -
I fucking love weird shit.

Gimme all the weird shit. You remind me that I’m not broken. 🙏
Love the weird stuff, Jeff! Maybe a format like Substack is even better suited to explore it all than a book! Let's try!!
I think it might be, I’m excited.

❤️❤️❤️ Richard buddy what would I do without you?
I ask myself this question about you every day, truly. So grateful to know you.
I wanted to comment, but then I got the message, so Fuck It !

That meditation was awesome and exactly what I needed. Do give me the weird shit 🙌
Yeeeah. That feels really good. Thank you, Jeff, for helping me free up so much space in my head.
P. S. And, yes, of course! I’m absolutely interested in all that consciousness-transforming no-self mystical spiritual weirdness!
Thank you Jeff, you have been a lifeline for me this year.
Back at you

I always find that very interesting - the cosmic timing of everything that has nothing to do with anyone and everything to do with everyone
