  1. Past hour
  2. Is there a process or not? Nobody is processing because you are the process. The knower is a process, there is no difference between the Knower or the process that implies knowing. Look, what is happening is a process, same than anything that happens, and that happening is the self. It's not an illusion, it's just the reality happening in self mode. Denying it is a closure, and the real point is openess to the unlimited, because ultimately you are that.

  3. Do not approach women

    something_else replied to Majed's topic in Dating, Sexuality, Relationships, Family

    I pretty much only ever bring up spiral dynamics when other people do. I like the model and I think it models human development well, but it’s often used more like a personality test than a development model
  4. My experience is that the average studio class is the epitome of feel-good vibes. The best argument I see for these classes is that they get people moving and exercising. Also, it’s a chance to unplug, rest, reset and restore before going back to their daily demands. Maybe it also gets them curious about deeper spiritual practice or they even have a legitimate spiritual experience. All fine. But on the whole I still have found them overrated. Especially all the passive stretching. If there wasn’t an emphasis on stretching, I’d be more open to it.
  5. I read let's say 1/4 of the book when I started to be interested in spirituality, I got impressed, very profound and that, but always that feeling of closure, I didn't know why, but now I know, it's because it's paradigm is dividing the reality between true and false. That's a mistake, nothing is false, what happens is closure, it's very different. You inflict misery to yourself in the same way that you inflict pain to yourself if you are burned. It's how you are built. There is not wrong in suffering, suffering is human, is part of our nature. What is extremely alien and sad is being closed to the source, to the unlimited, but that happens due fear and in great stent due stupidity, because you choose closure again and again in order to fit in society. You do that because you can't understand what you are doing, because you are.... stupid. All us are in greater or lesser extent. Some keep a spark of understanding, others nothing, they are blind. You don't need to choose love and all that, you have to choose openess, giving yourself to the reality, breaking the separation. It's extremely simple, you don't need 1000 pages to understand it, you have to do it. Well, just my vision

    Taking consistent action is one of the most difficult things in this work. If we could complete all our pending to dos in one week we definitely would.

  7. Conformity Examples Mega-Thread

    Nemra replied to Husseinisdoingfine's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Trinitarianism is such a conformity. Both Trinitarianism and non-Trinitarianism are convoluted approaches and mental gymnastics obsessing over Jesus.

  8. Extended DMT Trip (IV DMT)

    Clarence replied to Oppositionless's topic in Psychedelics

    I found it tricky not to overdose when redosing with a vape pen. What was your process for tripping on 5-MeO for several hours?

  10. Mock child therapy

    TheCloud replied to trenton's topic in Mental Health, Serious Emotional Issues

    Since you're focusing on relationships, and you clearly have some very difficult ones in your past and likely present, I recommend Non-Violent Communication (NVC) to you if you're not familiar. You may also find the Enneagram to be an interesting personality typology for advancing your understanding of both yourself and others, better than the MBTI in my opinion. Also, as always, don't neglect your relationship with yourself, as that is the one that is going to carry through to everything else. The effort and kindness and consideration you offer to others should come from first offering it to yourself, as that is how you can understand it from the inside rather than just acting. Also, I recommend Internal Family Systems (IFS) to everyone. If you're ever bored, check it out and see if it resonates; it's been absolutely critical for me.

  12. Today
  13. Sentinel sounds like an AI security company, like Palantir.
  14. They are probably going to monetize mods for Sentinel as much as possible and people are going to complain.

  15. Mock child therapy

    @nufan You can read the book "Homecoming" if you want, but it is 300 pages.
  16. No one saw this coming. Trump congratulates Dems. WTF? Any ideas? Maybe he's going to play the unity card in hopes of avoiding investigations?
  17. @Leo Gura Yeah, but now Texas has a Democratic governor and senator.
  18. As a Texan, man, I hope the Dems are able change these stupid ass liquor laws. Can't buy liquor on Sundays! Only liquor stores can sell liquor, supermarkets can't. I doubt it though. That might be too radical for people.
  19. I recently started diving into fantasy games like pen and papers, magic and stuff like that. And when playing these games I started to notice some things which are spiritually relevant. For one, when I am into an imagined mission in pen and papers, I take decisions and consequences in this imagined world more serious then I would have thought. Like when something goes wrong or if we enter a dangerous situation it feels a bit unnerving and there is a thrill to it. You also feel things like guilt when you do immoral things in this imgagined world. Of course to a lesser degree. But this makes it a bit transparent that the "real world" is simply a deeper imagination. Also when you live in a world with dragons, goblins, werewolfes and so on these things can feel kind of real. Like they are almost part of this world. ... I love some artwork in magic btw.
  20. Todd: Skyrim in Dune But Morrowind was already heavily inspired by Dune. Todd will copy all the dumbest aspects of Dune while leaving all the coolest. The biggest question is, How dumbed-down will Todd make it? Press and hold X button to kill sand dragon?
  21. CA/NY are expensive because they are so popular that everyone wanted to live there. Texas is cheap because it has a lot of empty land and it is boring, lame, and backwards. It is conservatives who don't give credit to CA/NY for being so popular that they are overpopulated to the point of expensiveness. Expense is a function of supply and demand. Texas is cheap because demand to live there is low.
  22. God is twisted, and humanity messed up

  23. Extended DMT Trip (IV DMT)

    Leo Gura replied to Oppositionless's topic in Psychedelics

    Sure. I've done 5-MeO for over 12hrs. No harmalas. Although, if you want to trip on DMT for a long time, you can do back to back pharmahuasca trips. Each trip is about 2hrs long and you could keep doing more back to back, as long as you have the stamina. This is probably superior to vaping. I prefer pharmahuasca over vaping DMT. It is more consistent, smoother, more stable.

  24. Inner Spectra

    Unlimited replied to Unlimited's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    Reality is an incredible wonder. Start seeing it.
  25. I deliberately leave that nubulous. Serious is whatever produces results, not just feel-good vibes.
  27. @something_else @LordFall I feel like you guys love to use spiral dynamics a lot. Honestly i feel like it isn't always concrete, and if you focus more on giving insights without necessarily anchoring it in the spiral dynamics model, i think this would be better for the development of your mind. It's like the way Jordan Peterson for example love to see the world through a Christian lens. Now i think he's somewhat cognizant of that. But still any lens you use is just a lens, a map and not the territory itself. Be it christianity or spiral dynamics.
