Pneuma is breath. In Stoicism, it is the spirit—the very seed of all life. 'Become pneuma' is perhaps the most powerful meditation instruction. Focus on breath to become breath.
Enjoy...

'The Ethics of Liberty' by Rothbard is a great read, even if you don’t agree with everything he writes. Although I am personally closer to Mises, Rothbard’s talent for rigorous logical reasoning is truly impressive.

🧘🏻♂️ A few meditation instructions for those who practise daily 🧘🏻♂️
Disclaimer: I apologise if this sounds like gibberish. Language is a blunt tool.
What is happening now?
And now... And now... And now... Second by second. Meditation is about the relentless noticing that all contents populating consciousness (images, sounds, sensations, thoughts) remain in a state of continuous change, whether we want it to or not.
Where is the silence?
Even in times of unrest and chaos, stillness is present and permeates everything. Seek out this silence, find it, and try to spend time within it. Use the silent space as a vantage point for observing and noticing whatever is happening now. And now...
Where am I? What am I? Who am I?
In the silent space, you may notice that, among other things, the Self is also present. It’s that feeling (contraction?) that you are you. It’s the part of you that wants or doesn’t want things, that desires and protests. It’s the part that refuses to let go. Notice it and return to the silence. And again. And again.
Everyone’s inner space is different. Please share your tips on how to practise.
With metta.
