Thanks for this Robbie. I loved it. So grounding and helpful.

I do have one question and that’s about Carl’s idea of ‘suffering, cheerfully’. I go immediately to the idea of bypassing but I trust him enough to know it’s going to be more complex. Can you say more? Maybe now or in another episode.

I am a YES to the book idea.

I’ve enjoyed the episodes when you’ve interviewed folks but I especially appreciate the ones where it’s just you and your ideas. I’m glad that you’re able to synthesize so many threads so that I don’t have to! Your pace, focus and clarity are beautiful.

I’m glad you’’re creating more Karma.

Thanks so much! <3

Re your question: Better to ask Carl! :D

But I'll give it a shot. I think that bypassing is a refusal to suffer. It's being cheerful *instead* of suffering. So suffering cheerfully is a different thing. It's being willing to suffer what there is to be suffered, but not letting it take you out for good.
