  2. Any part of reality is affected by the other parts, and also it isn't. It means that anything that can be expressed with words is relatively (un)true.
  3. ...which is why the perpetual chase for satisfaction is a fools errand, as a certain Indian guy (among many other people) pointed out some 2500 years ago. ☸️
  4. It's so genius I could cry.
  5. I love my man cave. But I also do enjoy a bit of action outside of it. Don’t forget old men who go for walks and mingle with the village live the longest. If you love life I’d imagine you want that for yourself.

    AI is changing my flashcard game. I spent about 30 hours this week creating a custom Anki anatomy deck. It contains 249 beautiful illustrations that I manually scanned and edited from a cheap, discontinued flashcard deck. Albertine, Kurt H. Anatomy Flash Cards. 2nd ed. Palgrave Macmillan, 2008. ISBN: 9781420256192 There are 2522 cards corresponding to pins on the illustrations. Everything is well tagged and the deck can be subdivided into: Skeletal system Muscular system Nervous system Lymphatic system Circulatory system Respiratory system Urinary system Digestive system Reproductive system Endocrine system All the muscle pins in the muscular system also contain information on the muscles' origin, insertion, innervation and major functions. Most of the other pins contain a brief description of the anatomical features and function, generated by ChatGPT sol 6.1. There may be some minor errors but overall I trust the output when it comes to established fields like anatomy and physiology. I wanted to share it as I have noticed there are quite a few medical and allied health students/professionals on this forum. Not to mention artists!, but I would be doing some major copyright infringement. So it's just for me. Learning anatomy is a pain, as most decks are either too detailed, highly specific, too narrowly focused or conversely too simple or broad, and creating your own usually takes too much time. I wanted to make something that would be suitable for beginners up to intermediate/advanced, as well as comprehensive enough for my own study and professional purposes. Completing this deck will make me very fluent with the entire body without demanding too much time. Previous experience has shown me it takes about 3-5 minutes of spaced repetition per card to commit it to long-term memory. Meaning it should take about 120-250 hours to love my way through this deck into unconscious competence land. Study time!

    Gang rape by means of forced intoxication is a super serious accusation in todays world and yet both the college itself and local law enforcement concluded no crimes were committed. Just some good ol debachery. Jane Doe couldnt even get a refund on her tuition let alone any kind of conviction for any kind of a crime. Yet now its a real thing. Enjoy the circus.
  8. That was his claim in the many facets of Awakening video, six years ago. And for full context this was my take on that thread:

    @Etherial Cat She lives!
  10. Of course you'd say that, you're just a man-hating feminist
  11. Remember the man cave. That place you love just to grab a bit of peace and quiet from your wife. That metaphorical cave can become your permanent sanctuary that you may not want to leave. Not that it’s forbidden to leave, just that it’s always waiting for your return. We all end up alone eventually, especially as we approach old age, however, you alone never leave you, that’s the only good place to find yourself.
  12. How is the screen affected by the movie ? How is nothingness affected by everythingness ? Not sure what this means ? (Im guessing you mean the word Absolute is not the actual Absolute, but that was not the point.)

  13. The craziest things you have identified with

    A white, obese US police man. I became so conscious of him, that my body and face morphed into him in the mirror. Wtf?

    I want to try that one day. Sometimes the worst thing that could happen to us is the best thing in retrospect.
  15. In the modern, secular occult, there is this notion: 1) You only use the belief in service of your goal (manifestation), literally nothing more and nothing less. For example: belief is the emotional engine that provides the firepower for manifestation, whether it's through taking "direct action" in "the real world" or taking "direct action" "inside your head" which might manifest in physical reality. (I'm putting all these designations in quotes because they intrinsically don't mean anything to me, and I do this some version of this mentality is important to actually get anything done, do not think of it as intrinsically and categorically "separate".) 2) Do nothing more with it in your mind, with your desire. Don't bother to feel anything else about it, necessarily. Specifically don't develop attachment to the outcome (this is part of what ritual is for, though I almost never practice it as an external practice). Don't ruminate and play around inside your head and spiral endlessly around in your own thoughts. It is a tool for a purpose. Nothing less, nothing more. This requires a good deal of self restraint. 3) You don't necessarily need belief at all, as long as you have energy, focus, and you figure out how to get out of your own way. This isn't necessarily how I work, especially now, but is something I've been deeply influenced by. The bigger question is if your thoughts are actually doing whatever it is that you think they're doing. The capacity to observe your own thoughts, almost as if you are outside yourself, can come in very handy. Yea that's gross. Tying morality to people's lot in life is not ok. All your examples are pop spirituality which tends to be tied to generic mindsets. It's about what I'd expect? Let's just say that you could choose to manifest anything consciously, would all you pick is a hypercapitalistic wet dream? Really? Not very imaginative if you ask me, lol. Maybe. Just maybe, there is a connection between people being this way, holding the values they have.... and this specific flavour of BS. It's not like you just have to do one or the other, skepticism OR pop New Age-style spirituality. But yes, generally this is the best, most efficient, and direct way to get things done. There is a reason why we went in this direction we have now, and I suppose all that is left is for us to eventually collectively exhaust it for whatever it's worth.

  17. I can’t get no satisfaction for one very good reason. Relative ideas pertaining to the absolute are absurd.
  18. It is also nothing. It is also not the movie. It is also affected by the movie. It also isn't. It also is. Everything could also not vanish, and the Absolute still isn't the Absolute. Satisfied?
  19. @RickyFitts good grief is LOVE with nowhere to go Love is nowhere and everywhere all at once. That’s a Love difficult to swallow in just one gulp.
  20. Today
  21. By enslaving the manifestors to manifest for them Imagine your own private army of manifestors. You direct it at Trump like a laser beam and zap him back to ancient Greece so they can deal with him.
  22. Why are the worst people often the most wealthy? Wealth manifestation gurus would tell you that they’re more spiritual, higher vibration than you. That they just allow wealth in better than you. The moral gaslighting is insane.
  23. How do you know they didn't manifest 9/11?
  24. Chasing squirrels is exhausting.
  25. If manifestation was real than all the government intelligence agencies would have manifestation departments And what if those are false in my experience, so you suggest bullshitting myself to the point that I blindly believe my own drilled-in bullshit just to then act out of that belief? Some things just can't be learned without going through the experience of doing it, especially attracting women if you lack the skills for it. Affirmations won't make you effective at it. Maybe it can motivate you to do more action.
  26. It’s not true that spiritual people or “conscious “ people have issues dating. It’s just a number of people here are unknowingly deluded because of a specific attachment they have, almost a red herring of sorts (“no one is deep or conscious enough for me, I’m a sage I’m too conscious for everyone”) that doesn’t address the larger issue why they can’t find someone. You could switch out deep or conscious for rich or pretty or smart or tall or whatever and really you’d have the same conversation across the internet why x person can’t find fulfillment in relationships. I’d say if people were responsible for their standards and accepted it, it wouldn’t be a discussion, but it’s clear there’s almost a sort of two feet in different boats situation going on, hence why we are here now.
  27. I'm conflicted, I absolutely love Florence Pugh but I'm not so sure about all the human suffering.😂 I did start to read the novel many moons ago I think, couldn't finish it though.
