  • There’s all different kinds of meditation tho… If I try to “let it out” I tend to spiral, so for cases like that there are practices that help you redirect the thoughts. In other practices yes, you do confront them, often checking in for guidance by someone experienced. In other practices you try to think about them without any “ego / identity”. etc.













  • I enjoyed reading John Keegan’s “The Face of Battle” bc among other things it talked about 3 different battles as they must have been experienced by the common soldier. iirc the night before Waterloo they slept in wet fields and ofc didn’t have time to change, before Agincourt they likely had to “relieve themselves” right where they stood and many had diarrhea (and some couldn’t even take off their armor to do so!) soldiers were often hungry and thirsty and exhausted, etc.

    Shortly after the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War in July 1937, Izumo was attacked on 14 August 1937 in a series of raids by Chinese Air Force aircraft during the Battle of Shanghai. Most of the bombs landed in the river without effect, but two bombs landed among spectators, killing hundreds.[42] Izumo’s Nakajima E4N floatplane and another from the light cruiser Sendai managed to get into the air and they claimed to have shot down one Curtiss Hawk biplane fighter and a Northrop Gamma bomber. Two days later, her E4N claimed to have shot down another Hawk.[12][43] Izumo was attacked that same day by a Chinese torpedo boat, but the torpedoes missed and the boat was abandoned by its crew.
