  5. You Don't Want To Solve Your Problems

    That is the reason why proper development in childhood is so damn important.

  6. You Don't Want To Solve Your Problems

    Human Mint replied to CARDOZZO's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    I understand what you say. You can turn your life around but it terrifies the ego. That doesn't mean you don't want the change, there are just deeper forces.
  7. The former yes, the latter sort of, it's just difficult to get that excited about something. I have goals in terms of getting my fitness back to be able to explore nature agian. Whenever I think of purpose it's often via a creative outlet.
  8. @Ramasta9 Since you think that the covid vaccines (or "jabs" as you would label it) were really bad and were part of some big global scale malicious collaboration - what do you think about the promotion and the distribution of the Sputnik vaccine (and if you are categorically against all vaccines, since you have the habit of vaguely gesturing towards "unnatural" things being bad - what do you think about all the other vaccines that were created by Russia) ? And how do you navigate disagreements, when your organic nature disagrees with another vibes based politics organic nature? In those cases, why do you conclude that your vibes are more accurate compared to the the vibes that the other person has?
  9. Sounds about right, in a sense. It's more like needing to have problems to solve continuously. It seems we do want to solve our problems; it's just that we are pushed to produce them endlessly. The search for comfort and distraction exemplifies this dynamic.
  10. This human being is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival — a joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all. Even if they're a crowd of sorrows who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture — still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. - Rumi
  11. I was with a Russian gf a while and I met some others. Russian women despise men very easily; they're searching with a magnifying glass for your weakness and looking at you with the same expression Melania looks at Trump. You have to be solid, if not they are going to vomit in your face. Maybe Russians are more depressive than other people

  14. This is interesting because Russian women are the opposite of the submissive woman stereotype. They can be very harsh, even beyond the level that Western men are used to.
  15. @Carl-Richard what is more fucked up is as an artist raised on first principles in fine art, I was taught myriad tricks in rendering images to fool the onlooker. So a serious of random lines close up look like a mess but then from afar it's a reed bed on water etc. I feel like I should know better, but the depths of self deception is like a recursive shit spiral of lies 😭 This deserves a blog post - Actualized.org quote style, imo
  16. That and anime stickers. The explanation is that soldiers are nerds. Geek shit like playing games and watching anime stimulates the warrior spirit. There's a reason why drone controls use Xbox 360 controllers.
  17. And everyone's so fake, Everyone is empty, and everything is so messed up, Preoccupied without you, I cannot live at all, My whole world surrounds you, I stumble then I crawl. You could be my someone, you could be my scene, You know that I'll protect you from all of the obscene. I wonder what you're doing, imagine where you are. There's oceans in between us, but that's not very far.....
  18. Hahaha I know right? Imagine living in Russia for years under Putin with all the corruption maybe thinking about an escape plan and some people elsewhere who have barely been there for half a year idealizing the exact country you are desperately trying to move out of. What a cognitive dissonance.
  19. That's EXACTLY how a paid actor would react. Get him!
  20. I am happy to see your posts and see how there are Israelis opposing this fanatism, but the interview I watched of Israelis talking about PAlestinians, in the majority is not that smooth like these posts here. Israelis have a very radical view o Palestinians and see them basically as Cockroaches, otherwise they would not vote a racist like Netanyahu into Office for more than 30 years or somebody like Ariel Sharon who was a desaster and a criminal, or somebody like Bengvir or Smotrich. These posts dont convince me. I am sorry. the husband of my cousin is Israeli, he lives in Germany with here and he staunchly believes Palestinians all belong to Hamas and are therefore a reasonable target to be exterminated.
  21. I actually watched Klein the other day (can't remember what video though) and found him quite helpful. Good show. And yes, gotta use heavy discernment on that last Jiang video... I think he's smart enough to bring the nuance, but sometimes he leaves it out, forcing me to wonder. It still had some great insights either way. But this video was an actual gem, IMO: I like how it goes really big picture. Not just news of the day. The way Jiang talks about how societies evolve has helped me see how I act in similar ways to world powers in my personal life, and how to improve my own results. I might create a separate thread on this if people want it — I think people are missing this hidden power in his videos. Another guy who has robust insights on geopolitics is Jeff Sachs: Some of what he says counter-balances or contradicts what Jiang predicts which I like. He smooths things out for me. But he mostly looks at things purely from a geopolitical lens. And remember Sachs is older and more directly involved in the overall system (UN for example). That makes some of his insights more experiential, but he also may be blind to other factors. Oh and lastly Sachs is aware China is in a league of its own:
  22. 1. Observe (differentiation). 2. Focused integration (channeled self reflection). 3. Metabolised self-insight (where ideation meets self reformation) 4. Take action (Test the signal) 5. Feedback (Record the most nuanced self observations you can during testing, where did you break vs where did you genuinely make anew true) 6. Rinse and repeat. The rest of the world doesn’t start with me, or another person, it starts with how you yourself refine the art of self observations to self reformation meets integration of the world around you. You are the compass that tilts the world, hold your frame with the strength that designs the last frontier that awaits your enthusiasm to conquer it. Blessing, best wishes. oOo. - Study the world's patterns, avoid specialised hyper-fixation and always trust your efforts towards a deeper, broader, more refined understanding that hones your truth, not the worlds truth. To share with the world, so we all grow. Iran geography:
  23. Also you point is true but only to some point. Right Wing Extremism is not persecuted in Germany, as you describe. How can a securely right wing extremist party like AFD be the strongest party in Germany, if Right Wing Extremism is persecuted here? Maybe some individuals in order to bring some huge news, but their sponsor, their party is the strongest party in Germany currently at least in the polls but second in the last elections. Right Wing Extremism is actually flourishing here. The advent of Isis in Iraq is a direct consequence of the terrible Iraq War that cost nearly 1 million or people their lives, lets not forget the torture that Iraqi Prsisoners had to endure by Americans, who even made photos of that humiliation if you remember? Of course if you slaughter my family I will radicalize and when the people are religious they will seek refuge in their religion and as such ISIS had its advent, they were brutal but still a direct consequence of the Iraq war. Syrians had to endure the opression of their own government whose main supporter was Russia, without Russia Assad would had fallen much earlier. Who supported Russia financially with big business and gas deals (Nordstream 1 and 2), who was the main buyer of Russian Oil and Gas and funded the Russian War Machinery? Exactly it was Germany and Europeans, but especially Germany. German is fourth biggest weapon exporter in the World sending Weapons to so many dubious places. With no shame and no remorse, because Human rights are only valid for Europeans and Americans If you want restriction on migration the main way would be not to inflate yourself as a big rich country, who makes his money throguh dubious and criminal business deals with Murderers and Terrorist like Putin and Netanyahu or Xi. Analyze exactly where the wealth here stems from? The cheap clothes that are produced by slave labour in Bangladesh, the cheap meat that is produced by tortured animals in Massconcentration Camps and the cheap gas and oil that came from Russia with cheap components coming from Dictator China, who currently holds 1 million Mulsim Uyghurs in Concentrarion Camps where they are tortured, but Germany has only economic interests with China not human rights interests.. And there are many other dubious ways that Germans are so wealthy, cheap slave work in WestAfrica and Congo for Chocolate and Litihium, and the list goes on. It's obvious that if countries that only seek wealth and more wealth through all means possible, that they attract people from poor countries that they themselves put misery on. If you are poor you will go to a rich country. Exactly as the sun pulls the earth into its orbit and the earth pulls the moon, and how electricity goes from plus to minus (or vice versa), that is the law of attraction. But just so you know, Germans contribute to the highest number of refugees historically, they are literally everywhere, especially in the USA, Canada South Brazil, Argentinia, Costa Rica, Ecuador.... And those refugees mostly went there and killed the indigenous population and until today many of those communities like in Brazil speak German and maintained their german Traditions. So you see being refugee is German History too, and none of those refugees ever migrated back to Germany, other than the GermanRussians of whom some live in Germany today. And lets not even mention the crimes and misery that european Colonialism put upon the world and the slave trade of African people and the english, italian, irish and spanish migrants and refugees, they were mostly brutal and criminal and exterminated the indigenous populations in South and North America. The only permanent solution to migration will be World Peace and not supporting Crimes of foreign Governments through weapon exports, business and energy deals and taking a blind eye to slave labour.

  24. What's your 5meo setting ?

    Clarence replied to Loveeee's topic in Psychedelics

    Dimmed light, eyes open. Music to help with the come-up. Sitting up, then lying down.
  25. Means the friction between what you are and what you should be according to the model instilled in your psyche by society. Your system is genetically programmed to absorb these models and give them a great emotional charge. Not being acceptable would be extremely traumatic for you, so much so that, at a certain point, in case of shaming your ancestors, you might seek out a cherry blossom tree under which to sit, write one last poem, and disembowel yourself with a katana.
  26. 5-10 mins for full effect. 10-40 mins full effect. Rapid taper down after 40 mins. Back to normal near 60 mins.
  27. okay, that is already pretty decent! the only missing element that remains then is a larger sense of purpose. how are things going in that department? have you spent time thinking about how to balance finding happiness in the present moment and working toward inspiring long-term goals?
