    I found this really interesting. Because I've literally never been concerned with my own passing. That said, I have felt like I was dying when I have lost someone. Concern for my own passing really only happens through the eyes of another person, which is like my brain discerning whether what I am doing is right through another's reality filters rather than my own. Like I have a mate that would be concerned about me having this disposition, so I notice my brain having his glasses on reality help guide my own processing concerning my automatic disposition. And understand that this is very different as well for being concerned about the way that I pass away. Simply noting the fear of pain emerge in the context of numerous simulations I right now run in my mind for example, alters my perception of the experience of death more than it does the outcome of death, which does not concern me much outside of having fears emerge relating to what may happen if I was no longer able to assume life responsibilities if I was no longer living. I don't have necessarily the right reaction, I just have my reaction, and I don't think either one should either be romanticised or criticised, but for both and anything in between, simply understood to shed light on accurately assessing our human condition. What I think is fundamental, is that irrespective of what automatic position one finds themselves in, that they have a tendency towards living their life fully in as much as life gives them this luxury. But yeah, watching myself flash in and out of existence like a light flickering on and off is a cool visual effect for me more than it is an existential dread. Just look after yourself regardless, ask people questions I am sure they will provide their feedback to help you. Best.
  4. Elmore James is a good example of a guitar player who has incredible style and influenced many musicians, but he is not super technical in his style either. I consider him a genius guitar player too.
  5. Are you denying that someone was/is in denial of that or something?
  6. The connection determines the time. Disconnection determines the absence. The circumstances determine the middle ground (personal life challenges to simple conveniences). If it violates a persons consent, games are disrespect for any one persons time, including it showing a lack of self-respect and self-esteem; suggesting the justification for the use of time doing so, is based on substituting these needs for unhealthy replacements. There's a strong distinction between playfulness and ego driven manipulation born out of a need for validation, and there's a strong distinction between self-experimentation where you explore different ways of interacting as a medium of personal growth versus experimenting on another person without their consent.
  7. IMO. Short answer: microdosing doesn’t make you lazy but big doses do. I was thinking about using some 5 meo dmt but I’m doubting it so much. I can’t afford losing my fire right now so I stick to microdosing lsd which actually helps me stay productive. Is dmt even made to microdose? If yes I might do that. this video explains the dangers of psychedelics so well. The maker explains how he was so driven before psychedelics.
  8. Today
  9. I would love to hear instrumentals (without vocals) of their first 3 albums. He is a genius guitar player.
  10. Isn't that the very question that I am asking about??? currently, literally anything that could bring out the balance!! I pulled this move man, I told earlier """I spent years studying philosophy, contemplated and meditated, spent time in nature almost daily since the past 10 years....""" and then finally realised & recognized that the way up is the way down. So stopped doing all the above (which was years of work). Then worked on my start-up for close to 4 years (various reasons to circumstances). But still decided to stop it again because its screwing me (severly isolating). So putting away a decade of work takes a lot of sacrifice & being hard with yourself, in your terms "being harsh" or "harsh truths". But when things happen such that where the balance in you is seriously gone. Like I'm unable to do a simple meditation like mindfulness but then move kundalini energies across my body and be aware of it. (So in a sense, body became quite sensitive on one side while deprived on the other side). And nothing seem to work out. It becomes difficult (or could go soft also) to solve it... anyways it becomes quite complicated to figure it out. Hmm!!! Thanxx
  11. The riffs also in Morbid Angel are so good and catchy. My favorites are in Angel Of Disease (I'm thinking of that one during the first solo), Caesar's Palace, God of Emptiness. No wonder they inspired so many metal legends (Gojira's entire early discography is essentially "Nothing Is Not"; Opeth's riffs in "Master's Apprentices" come to mind; the intro riff in Bloodbath's "Breeding Death" is so similar to the intro riff in "Immortal Rites", and likewise the intro riff in "Mock The Cross" is so similar to "Where the Slime Live").
  12. @LoneWonderer Thanks will check it out. If I may extend your extensions with more in depth. Chris Liepe, is an online vocal singing coach, who has original studio masters of many different MJ tracks. (He also does a lot of other artists) He does an in depth analysis on instrumental and vocal performances, it's really awesome to hear all the different layers that goes into making songs like this. The whole playlist But this topic is more intended to discuss if music is still a valid mass-medium for spreading a message.

    👍🏼
  14. Trey Azagthoth is an amazing guitar player and has his own style.
  15. Look closely for who is trying to awaken.
  16. God realization is beyond explanation. It must be direct contact with reality itself.
  17. @OmniNaut Ahh great question! AHHAAHAHAAH Davino is on the left, Vido is on the right!!
  18. Unfortunately you can't unsee what you've seen.........but you can fake it 🤷‍♂️

  20. Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

    OmniNaut replied to Leo Gura's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    @Leo Gura Regarding https://www.actualized.org/insights/profound-quotes-142 Why did you frame it this way? As it stands now it can be interpreted as pro-religion, especially by the scientifically minded. Would be adding "and science" after religion not give a better coverage of your view?
  22. The thing about this solo is not that it's impossible to play, but that it contains some incredibly musical but not music-theoretically standard series of notes. It's what happens when you play music but you don't know or care much about music theory and you simply play what sounds good. And sometimes that let's you play things that sound really really good and interesting but that no person who has learned music theory will ever be privied to play (because they have boxed themselves in and limited their range of accepted notes). And that also goes into my point that music is not something you fundamentally learn in theory, you learn it in practice, you learn it by expressing what your soul hears and feels (I'll refrain from tying this to a discussion of PUA, but I also think this also applies in a big way to communication between other human beings, a.k.a. "being social"; it's something you "do" most fundamentally, and getting boxed in by theory, "getting stuck in your mind", can definitely limit you). 4:00-4:32 This one is also sooo coool: 1:42-2:07 (The solo at 3:05-3:35 is also pretty cool).
  23. Lots of spiritual peoples support 11:11 not 9/11 lol
  24. You shouldn't take those things seriously. OpenAI is a commercial operation run by a scam artist, not some sort of scientific institution lol.

    Aww thank you so much! The way you are always trying to spread positivity and love has left an impression on me. I will also try to be as uplifting as possible in my social interactions.
  26. You're dead right, and if you can't condemn Hamas you're trippin'.

    You are right. Shouldn't have been so rude.
