  7. Triggered Gender Movement

    Rafael Thundercat replied to integral's topic in Dating, Sexuality, Relationships, Family

    You still dont understand what Decentering man is dont you? Imagine living your whole life living to subtly having men at the center of your decisions, to feel choosen and all the things done unconsciously in order to keep man satisfied? Well actually imagine the reverse, to do all this for woman? Is not a relief to be able to live a life where your sovereignty is independentent from woman approval? So if you would really feel how is to live that free, you would understand the girl. Is not about hate the men, is about stooping to live a life where the men are the center of some of ones decisions.
  8. I don't think there's anything outside of consciousness but I'm skeptical of anyone's ability to define it. The hard problem of consciousness in philosophy of mind effectively limited it to just its phenomenal aspect, the "what it's like to be"ness of it, because presumably that's the only thing that materialism can't explain. In doing so consciousness was stripped of an inherent will, creativity, intelligence, etc. Also, deep sleep, which many deeply awakened people have said is another state of consciousness, pretty much negates the definition of consciousness as just "what it's like to be." if you define consciousness just as the screen of perception then I would say no consciousness isn't all there is.

    God is you without the you
  10. I don't know about others, but for me, hitting a limitation does not mean reaching a final conclusion. It means stalemate until clarity emerges, if it ever does.
  11. Obviously, diet matters and it is important. The body reacts differently to different inputs. That shouldn't be a surprise. But to claim what we eat fundamentally changes who we are on the DNA level is a big leap and a stretch. There's nothing to support such nonsense.
  12. Interesting, I hadn't thought about it like that.
  13. That's not what I'm saying. I'm not denying that consciousness exists. Obviously, it does. I'm doubting that consciousness is all that there is. There could be something outside of it, and I'm open to that possibility, even if most people are closed to it.
  14. In Layman's terms, I separate out different parts of myself that appear to be actively disruptive in the moment. I formally recognize their existence, including emotions, intentions, history, and other associations. I then trace them back as far as I can to other parts of myself that have a formative relationship with the parts in question. For example, if I have a part who resents women, I might trace it back to another part who ruined my relationships with women, then back to a part who was really overwhelmed by some unrelated issue and sought comfort in women, and so on. If I put in the effort and get lucky, I can sometimes get back to the earliest possible part, although things get a little weird at that point and its rarely worth the effort relative to working with easier to access parts elsewhere. Formally, I do my own modified version of Internal Family Systems (IFS), relating to the various parts of myself using Non-Violent Communication (NVC) standards. I also examine my beliefs in a way that is probably similar to Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to discover and judge the intentions of the various involved parts. It's tedious and laborious, but when more organic healing methods are letting me down, this process delivers a result without fail, and it's rare that a day goes by where I don't do some amount of IFS.

    I am going to read more and post less. Quality over quantity. Less jokes. But, only good ones if I can. I should cut down time here. Increase reading and journaling time.

  16. Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

    Rafael Thundercat replied to Leo Gura's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    To a good chat. The sort of chat one cant have with the people in daily life. But I must admit that I still have people,not many, but some people that I can share some depth.
  17. Maybe it mean that when we eat the body uses the casing of DNA but if its an animal the DNA is already full and your body can only fill so much of you into it. Where if its a banana it can add more of you into it. The animals move around and think and stuff so more DNA usage.
  18. Today
  19. Conciousness is the outside. You say there must be an outside for conciousness to be but your conciousness is outside of reality. Your conciousness right now is outside of whatever you are witnessing. Notice how you can close your eyes and cut off everything. If you do it long enough everything even sensations of your own body dissapear. If someone is looking at you and they close their eyes you dont dissapear and they don't dissapear because their conciousness is behind them. And your conciousness is behind you. That same space of conciousness is behind your wall, the sky, the people you see.. Its 360 degrees around then entire field of awareness. If you see conciousness you see its not even here its outside. Like if someone is looking at a tv set their conciousness is not inside the TV set they are gathering information from. Its in another dimension entirely outside the tv set. If you awaken the first thing you notice is that you are not even in reality. The whole of reality is completely dead. Even your own body is dead. No emotions no sound no people. Life is behind the tv.

    A girl from my social circle asked me for my powerbank by laying her hands on my knee and upper thing and massaging them. When She gave me the powerbank back it had 69%. And she is hot. Men the strength I will need to stay loyal. Too much options make relationships hard.
  25. I was jamming a bit with those two concepts. Any example: Two people are both evil, sameness. But a different kind of evil, difference. There is a sameness in all pathologies: every sickness is a sickness of the cell. An example of sameness. But in practice you are always drawing differences otherwise you can't treat them correctly. Another one: in this forum we are the same in that we all watch Leo's episodes. We hold a sameness of information, like we are all espectating the same match. When people watch all the same match there is a sameness of experience, which produces connection. We are seeing the same thing. But someone from the outside knows nothing about the match, that person will see think very differently when hearing about that match. Hopefully you're seeing how you can extrapolate that into any domain. There are words that denote sameness: citizens, students, action movies. But you don't treat every student the same. You can't teach a 6 years old the same as an 18 y.o, on the other hand there are universal principles of education that just expresses differently.
  26. It's still a hard problem, even with awakening considered. Awakening just means realizing that consciousness is absolute. But that realization is self-biased, because it's coming from consciousness. We need something outside of consciousness to confirm that conclusion. But to us, there is nothing outside of consciousness. So we lack the required instruments to make a final conclusion. The hard problem of consciousness negates materialism, but it doesn't confirm idealism.
  27. Consent is so muddy and tricky. I feel it is underdetermined as a "complete" theory of sexual ethics. It is so often presented as a relatively clear binary threshold (most frequently by women).... but human interactions through which consent is communicated/interpreted/understood are often anything BUT binary.
