I have up “the scroll” for Lent but have already been failing this week as my chronic illness has made it hard to get dopamine from other places. This was a great booster to pull back again. Even in 3 days off I noticed a huge change in my brain.

Have you come across the work of the Gaskovskis?

Ruth (https://schooloftheunconformed.substack.com/) and her husband Peco (https://pilgrimsinthemachine.substack.com/) have been doing a lot of great work and are in the process writing a book, The Making Of Unmachined Minds.

Love your borrowing of the phrase concerning "The Machine" from Paul Klingsnorth. He's written for years (including his "pre-Christian' days) concerning our interaction with and victimization by "The Machine". I agree that we've become far too compartmentalized in our living and need to refocus on a holistic, fully-embodied spirituality.

I’m going to go take a walk now.
