  1. Past hour
  2. My two pence for all it’s worth…. God is the oxygen being inhaled and exhaled until the last exhale.
  3. I don’t fully know the whole story but as I understand it she was his lover, and he was much older than her and had more power in the relationship. Removing the new age stuff, it’s your classic older man younger mistress story. He was married because in his tribe in Peru he is allowed to have multiple wives. She wanted to live in the city and not in the jungle with his tribe. So they broke up, and I think she had a lot of her own issues as well, she wrote a long post on Reddit with a lot of hurt and lunacy in it. I don’t agree with this dynamic. I think sex and relationships should be kept as far away from psychedelics and spirituality and these lack of boundaries I only see cause problems for people. An older and more experienced person should know this.
  4. Also give this an open mind and try to understand what he is saying . I know he is boring with his slow motion talking but it’s short clip.
  5. 1k - 20k sacrifices per years empire-wide are the conservative estimates. Let's say it was 5k a year and Aztecs existed for about a century, that makes it 500k in total even with conservative estimates. Huitzilopochtli was seldom hungry
  6. Thats interesting. Ive had that author steve on my youtube since like, back when he started youtube. And although hes never landed within spiritual realms ~or rather, he starts material-practical, and leaves it open-ended, in regards to the -istemi to the more absolute epistemic thoughts and feelings, He's able to capture things in an articulated and well-spoken way, which i suppose is why he has become such an outspoken figure now in those specific target areas hes working w/ @Erybody, And i gues if anyone ever asks what is meant by absolute, epistemic thoughts and feelings (again, im borrowing the term from @gettoefl) It is comparable to a dream, you could say, because its something that exists and can be experienced, and we do think of it like a feature of reality, but its indescribable and thus separated within said reality (separated conceptually by some people who need to separate things that way). That's what the absolute is ~opposed to the absolute in some modern science realm~ the absolute can only be A) Experienced or B) Pointed toward, or only the -istemi towards it — "istemi" being a word i made up to mean "link / linked" or "channeled intention / direction" or something. You prolly have to preface w/ something like that in todays day and age (Note: We've prolly had this problem since the dawn of humanity, iuno), As so many people are confused, that is, when you go out in the world, talking to people, to those people who dont have a background in actualization or self-inquisition; which again, that is many, many people, possibly even the majority of people, theres just an overwhelming sense of speaking to those who do not have any experience w/ basic levels of self-inquiry.
  7. I’m spending time contemplating this a lot and am still refining my writing and views here. I still have some things I need to leave in the oven a bit more. When I say it’s “fundamentally random and unpredictable” what I’m trying to express is that I’m always fully aware that we live in the unknown and that what we have built our idea of success on is made of something unknown. I am trying to marry this awareness that of infinite unknown to the more practical down to earth terms we live day to day where the sun rises and sets and we plan our day according to this. Of course this is the wise way to live and what I am trying to inspire people to do with clear intentions (not what they think will make them worthy of love/value). a killer skillset to me would be where you are committed and you have intention, that would naturally lead you to be strategic and focused thus building amazing skills. You need commitment to show up every day and handle all that comes along but simultaneously you need intention, the beliefs about why you are doing what you are doing and what you hope it brings about in some way. To me, pick up actually does collapse into a numbers game but like I said there are 10,000 degrees of randomness. A guy who lives at his parents and has severe social anxiety will have a much different set of random outcomes going out for the first time than a guy who has done a lot of self actualizing and has a stable life of his own. And even then I’ve had such dumb stories of luck where I fucked girls in some of the most inexperienced states I’ve been in, really I have no fucking clue how I pulled sometimes… sometimes I do think it was dumb luck but I am aware there are degrees of randomness. It’s the terms I think in when I’m acutely aware of the unknown we always live in.
  8. Thanks for sharing this and I’m going to build on my essay here borrowing your definition of success cause I think that’s a really refined way to define it “success - achieving the results you have set out to accomplish.”
  9. Today
  10. I guess that's why I've had such a itchy feeling down there for the past couple of days. @Natasha Tori Maru Arguing about whether there is a self or not is like debating whether spaghetti are pasta or noodles... potentially entertaining, but ultimately pointless.
  11. The thing is, it prolly was a lot more peaceful and lovely than the modern life. Just cause you make a cup out of your enemies skull doesnt make you evil. What makes you evil is ego.
  12. Imagine taking a cup and going to the beach and you try to contain the whole ocean inside a cup. That’s like the finite mind trying to contain the infinite . It’s unknowable . Infinite mystery . We can approach higher and higher detailed understanding but I gave you the big picture .
  14. Fuck Incans got nothing on Aztecs - motherfuckers made cups out of their enemies skulls in a doco I watched. Part of their culture was to slaughter hundreds of people in the name of their respective God. The God ( like Tialoc for rain, Quetzalcōātl wisdom / wind etc ) had to have a certain amount of death / blood for shit like the rain to come. Sun to rise. They were an empire also though, but these customs arose from tribal traditions originally. Sounds like peace love and happiness to me 🤣

  17. Plasmism - Get Shit Done

    HopefulMan replied to caspex's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    @caspex I really liked it and I agree human behavior it works this way External things are easier to remove (if you are willing to be extreme by today's standards), but internal/abstract influences are on another level. For example "Remove influences that push you to procrastinate" --> You mention comfort as one of the environmental factors that can cause you to do that. How do you remove acting to look for comfort in you don't want to procrastinate?
  18. Stop questioning what you want then. No point in sowing seeds of doubt in your head.
  19. Hold my Teotl.
  20. Man stuck in a time loop caught in Area 51: https://youtu.be/HgWjtNfyMeY?si=CwgcW2BRi4LgMi-v You must read the comment section for this one.
  21. Taoism has emphasized the importance of harmony with nature in aligning with the Tao better. As per scientists, humanity has wiped out over 60-74 % of nature in the last 50 years. Even endangered and harmless animals like the cheetahs are still being hunted in large numbers by trophy hunters to show off and hide their innate superficiality. So it is possible that greater inability to align with the Tao could be the reason for the lack of general wellness in humanity.
  22. My setup works identically to windows. I have even the GUI confirmation dialog when trying to use as root, but it accepts any password; sudo still requires the password to maintain security.
  23. Aztecs be like: hold my pulque
  24. yeah sure the plot twist is inside my head . As if this statement means anything on god ‘s earth .here is what I mean : He said in the ultimate analysis there is no difference between imagination and reality . I asked then what about the life is a dream fetish ? You enjoy calling life illusory to bypass your suffering ? I don’t see any reason for adopting solipsism as a worldview except either if you want to go crazy or you want to bypass suffering . This doesn’t mean solipsism is false .it is highly likely true but at the end of the day the appearance of separation is here to be experienced as such . If I imagined separation then that’s what I want . Let’s stop interfering with what we want .

    will there be music in the after life? what´s the only thing that truly matters in this life? what is control?
  27. When first experienced it was so powerful it felt as if I had each foot in a different world. It took a good while to integrate and I'm not sure if you ever fully do. Just thinking about it now, the same feeling opens up again. Like being a spirit in the material world. One thing for sure. The fear of death has fallen away. Or perhaps better to say, I know what happens when the body falls away.
