  2. Axioms of Optimism

    Joseph Maynor replied to Ziran's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Realize what a negative person does to slow everyone down to conform to their own comfort-zone. Listen to them, but don't let that energy cripple you too much. For some reason, other peoples' success bothers these people because they need to feel like they're winning with what they got, always.

  4. What's ironic in this is you spend most of your time coaching people.
  5. Begin a timebound challenge. You can pick the time-frame. Maybe 30 days for you. Plan this a kind of deep work exercise and commit to it. Try to get motivated to do this. See it as kind of a little chapter or challenge in your life that you can get inspired to get behind. You're not that far behind, but you need to motivate yourself to meet a goal.
  6. Hey man, I’m gonna answer you honestly, what you wrote doesn’t sound like a curiosity about reincarnation, it sounds like you’re exhausted and feel stuck in a life where you think you’re ‘less than’ others and hate your life, I get it. Those are just beliefs and interpretations, and they're doing way more damage than any actual limitation you might have. There are people with average or even below-average intelligence who build solid, meaningful lives because they focus on what they can control instead of labeling themselves and giving up. I get it, it can feel hopeless sometimes and your feelings are valid, but what's not valid is your interpretation of it and having that attitude/mindset. About ‘going to the next life’, nobody actually knows what happens after death. At least I don't know myself, and I don't think that's the right thing to think about right now. What’s real is this life, right now. And the fact that you’re here asking this means some part of you still wants things to be different, not just over. And that part matters. With enough understanding, better perspective, and time, people can completely change the way they see themselves and their life. This is not just lame motivational talk; it’s something you can actually observe. Your current story about yourself isn’t fixed. It’s something your mind built from past experiences, and it can be updated and changed. you can interpret things differently, see what lessons you learned, see what opportunities you have. But for that to happen, you need at least a bit of openness to the idea that things can improve. Not blind positivity, just enough optimism to stop reinforcing the idea that you’re stuck forever. Also, your self-worth being tied to past failures is a trap. Past outcomes don’t define what you’re capable of becoming and who you are. you can train yourself to not believe that. Here’s what’s not real: “My IQ completely determines whether my life is worth living.” “Because I’ve failed before, I’ll always fail.” “My current situation is permanent.” “There’s no way for me to feel better or build something meaningful.” “The only way out of this feeling is to leave this life.” "I suck and I'm not worthy" Here’s what is real: You don’t fully know what you’re capable of yet. yourself worth and self-esteem are flexible things and are not tied to past or present situations. Your mind is interpreting your life in a very harsh, fixed way. and that can change. People in similar or worse situations have found ways to build lives they don’t hate. (speaking from experience) You have some level of agency, even if it’s not absolute. Change is possible, but it starts with small shifts in perspective and action. You’re not the only one who has felt like this, even if it feels like it right now. If things feel this heavy, talking to someone in real life, even just one person, can help more than trying to solve everything alone in your head.
  7. Correct. You cannot even legally consume intoxicants. Bad girl!

  8. Whats the textures and shapes of DMT

    Joseph Maynor replied to kavaris's topic in Psychedelics

    These images seem too squarish to me in my experience with DMT. There's more motion involved too, nothing is static.

    I think there is an inner switch I can turn around from introverted to extroverted. Usually when someone wants something from me when I am in an introverted state I have a hard time to do it. I noticed however that when I consciously make a switch in my brain from inside to basking on the outside social world its much easier, even enjoyable for me. Curious how far that insight will bring me.
  10. I recently had some realizations similar to what Rupert Spira talks about. The general nonduality stuff that maybe a lot of people here find mundane compared to higher states of consciousness, Eternity, Awareness, Presence, Etc. Nothing actually happened really, just this profound peace, and these other facets that where obscured until I paid attention to them. But why is reality so beautiful? Every form fills me with mystery and awe, even the idea of a smelly dumpster is profound and miraculous and mysterious. Everything just drips with beauty, it feels fundamental to existence, not just an opinion. Every color and shape combination is just beautiful to me, whether it's people, clouds, stars, RAM, deodorant, candles, cracked roads, the bug bites on my thighs, etc. Why does everything seem so beautiful? What is Beauty?

  13. How about spirituality addiction? If we want to broach the issue of addiction, let's get real and do it all the way.
  14. @Monster EnergyCan I confirm this about reincarnation in any way? @Carl-Richardis this a joke or it's real situation? sorry for not understanding if this is humour, I am autistic, I have trouble understanding this stuff.
  15. You'll become a mosquito or earthworm in the next life if you try to cheat.
  16. I am ashamed of writing this but I hope this community won't judge me. I don't like my role as a man. I don't want to die at wars, protect, provide. I don't want to fight other men for stupid reasons. I want to have fun. I want to be cared and yes even protected. I want to have fun like women do. Even sexually I am very submissive. I don't know what's wrong with me but I feel if I pretend that I don't want all these things I actually am not real to myself and if I try to act as a man I dysfunction. I am straight and have some masculine traits but not many. I am more of a woman than a man. I swear if I could switch my gender I would do it but with current technology we can't do that completely so there is no way I will become a trans (I am not saying trans women aren't women but that's my personal opinion). How do I live in this harsh world that doesn't understand men like me. Most people try to shame me for not being a manly man and the rest don't care. I mean it's good they don't care , it's their choice, but what do I do? Does any other man feel like me or I am an exception? I have never heard of any other man say stuff like this even online, so I don't know how this will be percieved, I am kinda anxious posting this. I am even ashamed to talk like this to my psychologist, but I will probably take the step and do it.
  17. Your name doesn’t suit you. And yes, rebirth does exist. But you shouldn’t live your life focused on some future reality that isn’t here yet. You should live in the present instead of getting lost in thoughts about a better life after death.
  18. In my notes i have the questions situated like, What is absolute truth? (versus something objectively true) ... And then... What is "truth" from a Modern Philosophical standpoint? And, Is absolute truth knowable? As we keep pulling truth apart into multiple areas ~in the modern times~ and the meaning of truth is then evolving, so for example, when we say truth, we might mean "absolute, god, truth" and the qualities associated w/ states of mine, or we could mean, god as in the present moment, and the very sudden truth, closer to what im saying: We are actively trying to define it, for we are actively not able to grasp it fully. Cause at the very least, it goes further than objective truth, just to give it some placeholder-of-thought. And, Truth in the simplest case usually implies a truth that is not only independent of perspectives, but also independent of any possible framework of verification. So you have to give it the benefit of the doubt that theres not a factual answer. In the Ancient Greek realm of truth, you might say "Hesiod is true", but not because he was implicating the facts, but because he's assumed as such~to be in contact w/ a source that ordinary perception does not normally touch. So we dont even understand how or what that truth is about, for that is in the magico-religious center of truth, where it has laid down a poetic fundamental, from the standpoint where all of these later terms: Philosophy, Religion, Spirituality, Realism, Materialism, none of those terms are required~neither are they known, for most of those ideas are compressed. So they dont need to collapse or rewrite truth (*aletheia, but we dont fully understand it, for e.g., Greek's personified god is closer to a human self, but our notion of god is akin to God and Jesus, God and continuous birth, detaching from sexuality, personality, and other qualified traits). Where as, we are obfuscating truth through the theory that discretization of meaning through words yields better accuracy towards symbolical placement of an idea. We are not realizing that it has the opposite effect ~if what you want to describe is already defined through an abstract existence. It matters how you define truth, because you are shaping the entire world based on the level of truth you are at, and the level of truth you are sharing w/ everyone else. *p.s. im looking for a video on aletheia atm, but they really dont pronounce or explain it correctly... its [al L'theee ya]
  19. I don't like my life anymore. I have very low IQ, I don't want to live like that anymore. My life is a series of failures. I want to go to the next life. Does such thing exist? Are we eternal beings with eternal reincarnations? Shouldn't people like me try to go to the next life? This is all hypothetical, so please don't delete this question, I really NEED information.
  20. Today
  21. @eTorro Is it physical or mental ? Do you eat because you feel hungry or just to enjoy food ? It could be either physical or mental as Natasha said . If it’s physical..try to eat only when you’re truly hungry. Waiting until you feel really hungry can make food more satisfying and delicious which may help you feel full with smaller portions. also stop eating before finishing your entire plate. If you find yourself getting hungry too often eat more filling foods in your diet like Complex carbohydrates like oats because this can help you stay full for longer periods of time. If the habit is more mental or emotional then the approach is different but you need to clarify that first .

  23. @Husseinisdoingfine Modern China isn’t even remotely close to the kind of Soviet style Communism under Stalin. The reason I say Stalin is the greatest Communist is because he was quite serious about the destruction of private markets. This is not the position of modern day China-we can’t truly call it a Communist state. Don't confuse me saying Stalin was the greatest Communist with me saying that he did anything remotely positive for the people of the country or world at large. He is responsible for the deaths of millions of his own citizens through war, famine, enslavement of rural peasants, labor camps and murder of many civilians, military commanders and political opponents through his private police state. But nonetheless he was a serious Communist- that should tell us a lot about the ideology and how it turns out in practice. We see what’s happening in North Korea today, China & Russia were smart enough not to adopt the same strategy, at least not in its totality. Even then they are still backwards in many ways
