While 8 billion people (basically everyone) are like zombies and are afraid of you if you showed your true self

Yes! But only Leo can do this. It is done by request - private message. -
Consider that we may not be really LOOKING to see where, how and why we DO connect, relate and crossover with others. You actively look for differences and focus on them, give them more gravity and weight. Isolation, feeling different, loneliness, inability to relate. Have our perspective understood, find others with interests that crossover with ours - all very mundane, basic insecurities. When you really dig into the depths of others - the human experience, stripped down, is remarkably similar. Only with little garnishes of difference - but the core troubles are usually the same. This is a cognitive bias. Also consider ones lack of self esteem won't let them believe they are boring and regular. This is so unbelievably common. If we cannot accept being ordinary, we are still controlled by the idea of being special.

@Carl-Richard watch out for @Jirh and those pitchforks

It is definitely not that simple at all. He's basically just describing new age spirituality.

It depends on whether progress is being made or not with the spirituality IMO. -

You can make it do other stuff, but if you give it no design guidance it defaults to this colour scheme -
Just checked it out, it's astounding. I like your work! But it's also very cookie-cutter. A few months ago, my friend vide-coded one with the exact same color theme and general layout and effects. Did you choose anything in specific? Probably behind the scenes, the AI is pulling from a few number of templates on Github. Maybe only one? But at this point, I don't think it can replace human web developers because it's just too generic. When enough people make websites and many of them look alike, there won't be any special identity to anyone.

I am One! There are no others. There is only the Self. The Self is God. There is nothing but It. There is no reality! Your imagining everything! I am imagining everything. -

I think I'm doing enough physical exercise. I walk at least 5 kilometers every day. there are also sports every day (boxing 2 times a week, the rest of the time I have a choice of yoga, cycling, running ) . Yeah i think problems are in mental health. Need to mention that i live in border town and we have a war going on . It adds a bit of anxiety. -
@Leo Gura It's strange going deep in the work, tasting radical states of consciousness and also being in the thick of survival. Ego backlashes and homeostasis pull, but like a strong storm, you can breakthrough and rekindle that fire.

aching pain in the upper spine, neck and acute but not intense pain when bending in the lower back. I have a herniated loin and protrusions in my chest and neck -

Just vibe coded my website in 2 days with gpt. ( maybe 7 hours of work ) You tell me if it's hype or not. Only used gpt, never read a single line of code. https://aerisvahnephelia.com/ -

Thanks for sharing, that must not have been easy. Do you use she/her pronouns? If not, why not? Hope im not asking too personal questions -
Is there any way I change my username on this forum?

I have been diagnosed with mild/moderate ADHD. Personally the meds dont work for me. First couple of weeks its amazing but I progressively get more and more flat, anti social, loose my intuition, creativity and feel like a shell of myself. And I often get destructive/ suicidal thoughts on them after a while, often when they wear out . Not to scare you, its only my experience. Its worth trying, for some people it really helps. I can relate a lot to what you wrote with anxiety, bulling etc. I am in a process of self discovery and therapy and just found out that I have been a chronic people pleaser my whole life. I grew up in a enviormet with a fearful and controlling parent. My survival strategy was to mold into whatever I thought this parent wanted me to be. So I suppressed my own needs, feelings and desires in order to receive love and praise and avoid punishment. Since this was how I learned to receive love, it became my unconcious way of navigating the world. Never feeling like I am good enough. People pleasers are extremely easy pray for bullies, and boy was I bullied when I started school. Chronic people pleasing can result in a lot of issues that are mistaken for ADHD, like problems relaxing and sleeping, constant worry and overthinking, social anxiety, emotional dysregulation and especially problems sustaining attention. I see now that this could easily be the reason for my diagnosis. The meds also made people pleasing much easier for me because I can better mold into what society wants me to be. This makes total sense with what Gabor Maté talks about. Many people say ADHD is just genetic, but at the same time trauma is often passed down from generation to generation util its broken. Not to say that real ADHD dosent exist, but It can be misdiagnosed. Its often a chicken/egg kind of situation. For me the only way to know is to make the behavioural changes and give myself the love I needed unconditionally. I am in no way saying that you are a people pleaser or that you dont have ADHD. I am simply sharing my experience, take it for that. And all the best on your journey, do not feel guilty for taking meds of it really helps you.

Just ask 'show me where I was racist'

Daoist immortality is better described as physical longevity. yes. it's literal. they're in contradistinction -
@Miguel1 Thanks. A similar example of proving a negative would be unconscious bias in things like racism and sexism. Can you prove that you do not have an unconscious racial bias? I can't say "I have black friends" because that would be the proximity argument. I can't say "I'm not racist" because that would be defensiveness which makes me look racist. Theoretically, if I accused you of being racist, then how in theory could you possibly prove that you are not racist and have no unconscious bias? I am very curious to know the answer to this because I don't think there is one. I believe the best defense against this would be if a person were born blind, deaf, and mentally disabled such that they can never learn communication at all. That way they would have no way of knowing that race exists. They would be truly color blind. Leo has a similar problem with being made to prove a negative. Sometimes it is actually impossible.

Just posted the flyer to my first speed dating event I'll be hosting in Toronto. I almost postponed it but it's a really good opportunity since there is no real downside risk and if it works it'll be good profit and finally a way for me to get paid to travel to different cities which I've been looking to do for like at least 5 years if not 10 years so I had to do it. I've fallen a bit into complacency lately so starting to take massive action again is bringing up some anxiety but it also feels good as results don't lie. So stay tuned, it'll be August 5th. Nothing better than chilling and smoking weed after hosting an event, I'm on a no weed break rn so gonna do that til then and either smoke the night after or the next day so that's me taking control of my reward cycle and trying to not be a slave to easy dopamine. I'll be having a beer to celebrate the launch of the event tonight, I dislike drinking so it's not very addictive to me. I can't really live fully with vices it's beyond me, kudos to those who can. They are a bit boring though so I don't know that I would change myself, as long as it works out in the end I had to delay the launch of the Calgary creatives website which really saddened me but the sign in system was not operational and when I showed it to my buddy who's a web developper he said because it's hastily coded there are high changes it'll get hacked so he suggested I postponed the launch. It was gonna be my big W of the summer so bummer but the dating event is looking promising so fuck it. I miss being in Toronto I haven't been in almost a couple years now so it'll be good to be back. Still won't be able to really fully enjoy it this year, it takes so much money to have proper fun there but it's a leap in the right direction.
