give me fearlessness over mindfulness

Fearlessness, better than mindfulness. Mindfulness is sorta running its course, have you noticed?  People use the word but rarely give it serious reflection.

I know a lawyer trying to build a new branch of her career by teaching lawyers to use mindfulness in their law practices. She advises that six minutes of mindfulness, which she leaves vaguely and mutably undescribed -- or meaningless. Six minutes?

Fuck six minutes of mindfulness.  I meditate twice a day for an hour each time.

Pausing in silence for a couple minutes can have some mild benefit but it does not add up to the kind of mindfulness that can only be arrived at with years of deep meditation, years of silent reflections and years of serious study of the works of ascended masters.

Six minutes. PUHleaze.
