![[After Socrates Episode 7 - Daimonion Dr. John Vervaeke#^cpw6ax]] When reading the following, I was reminded of my own experiences with transcending sensory feelings to exercise my internal drive. -6 degrees celsius in a tank top and shorts. Raining or snowing, still following that same path, my breath and movement keeping me warm. Blocking out all potential judgment from people around as I just focused on following this path. These jogs have led to some of the most awake morning states. It's [[Higher states of consciousness]] where you're piercing through the negative repulsion that come with feeling cold, and instead realize that these are just sensations you can embrace as you continue in your quest? Reminds me a lot about [[Discipline]].
