I must say though, driving is such excellent catalyst. I do feel we are moving into the self driving era but it'll be a few more steps. We're really close though. I think a lot about how when we are driving, most of us are operating unconsciously anyway - our minds are wandering, our lizard brain is controlling the steering wheel. This is really fascinated at extremely high speeds, how we all keep to our space and no one (hardly) loses control. A busy highway is similar to a school of fish or a flock of birds - the group is traveling cohesively and reacting to the slightest movements of the other, in the moment. I think we take this for granted.
The road also involves dealing with patience, sharing, and competition - and certainly also towards the forefront, LIFE AND DEATH. People DO die from car accidents every day - and when someone cuts you off, your anger is actually frustration with them jeopardizing your safety in such a way. Immediate ping to the red ray. I find all this catalyst extremely useful for balancing.
