@Nivsch I live in Beirut. By the way, i imagine you speak hebrew, since you're from israel. I was interested in learning hebrew as well, since i love learning languages. I already have in advantage since hebrew is in the same family language as arabic.

beyond the self mind knowing and not knowing self and Being learning to not know relating differently to beliefs we are culture the cost of our assumptions learning vs knowing authentic experience, honesty, grounded openness, questioning creating a conceptual world what is a concept concepts dominate our perceptions our need to know level of consciousness mistaking the uncognized mind for the real Self what is your self and what is being am i a noun or a verb doing vs being the self identity reinforces itself inventing personalized worlds freedom from assumptions self doubt feeling trapped suffering struggle being as unknown contemplation contemplating the uncognized mind the nature of emotion fear anger desire pain the distinction of distinction distinctions and existence life in the loop the myth of real self mandatory misrepresentation living as a false self two domains of survival: physical and conceptual surviving as a self beyond happiness and suffering perceiving something for itself for itself vs as itself experiencing the Truth is not the purpose of self survival changing from reaction to experience changing context changes effects getting free from our need to believe meaning doesn´t mean anything the possibility of direct Consciousness

I will add that you also have to water the house plants. Don't make the same mistake I did. RIP Jeff

Do you live in an urban or rural area? How is the north of Lebanon? Sorry to hear you are going through this. Hope the things calm down for you soon

Trump's moving onto Greenland now with his "conquest", as he calls it. NATOs Rutte held Trump's testicles for the meeting. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/9/trump-slams-nato-over-iran-after-meeting-rutte-renews-greenland-threat Trump slams NATO over Iran after meeting Rutte, renews Greenland threat... 7 hours ago — revive his threat to seize Greenland from NATO member Denmark – Rutte agreed with Trump.... Rutte also rejected the notion that NATO members considered the war on Iran “illegal”, arguing that there was widespread support in Europe -
@moonawakening444, and, to be clear, I should say that for testing, I was using a custom-made bottle. One inhale was enough. I was smoking 1 or 2 pinches of grounded cannabis. Often, I didn't heat up all of it. I don't know, perhaps the strain was the problem. If I remember correctly, it was the cheapest and the least potent one. However, I don't want to harm my lungs anymore. Next time, I should probably try to vape some variant of THC.

That sounds fucked up man. But keep faith that better days are possible bro. Perhaps try to read stories of people who have escaped from difficult life circumstances to help you have hope. All best man.

the best tend to give realistic and grounded advice, and otherwise not softsoap or tell them fallacies. Of women, Kezia Noble seems fair. And of men, Playing with Fire. Both acknowledge looks matter but amongst other things. It's only scammers like the redpill guys and blackpillers like Wheat Waffles who push bs points to grift. Note how Wheat Waffles ended his channel, and nearly got disowned by his paretns for his rhetoric.

I hope for you that the wool trick works considering our winters.

You said you are tired of living in Lebanon. Is your goal to actually get out? Focus on THAT more than the trajedy, and work toward escaping. Yes, easier said than done, I know. My mom's great-grandparents escaped the Armenian genocide in that region 110 years ago. I don't know their story, but imagine they were feeling a lot of grief and depression too. But they made it. It's not too late to do something to improve your situation. You are here on this personal development forum, so without a doubt you have something to live for. You just have to tune your focus to the right places, opening you up to different possibilities you might be missing at the moment. All the best brother.

Did you have a lot of trips that were too much for you? I remember you said it was so potent you had to force yourself to do it. I'm wondering how the trips were when you had to force yourself, and how you manage that kind of fear. Would you go back to tripping on weed if your health allowed it?

Then how is it recalled? -
Gun to your head. You can only choose one song. The most beautiful, meaningful piece of auditory art you've ever heard. What is that piece for you? For me, it's this: I love this piece so much. It uses a river as a metaphor for life. At the start of a river, there is a lot of energy and momentum, as in with children. "Hey there little speedy-head. The read on the speed-meter says, you have to go to task in the city." But at the beginning of your life, it seems like you will go on forever. "It's only just light-years to go." Yet, as we all know, life is chaotic and full of larger than life forces that rock you on your back. As you get older it starts to gain momentum. "Leave the road and memorize this life that passed before my eyes. Nothing is going my way." As a 28 year old I appreciate the hell outta of this piece, because it puts me in touch with my mortality and makes me honor the shortness of my life. "The ocean is a river's goal. 'A need to leave,' the water knows. We're closer now than light-years to go." Now there is a deeper desire to make something of this life. To seek the ocean, the infinite. Mortal pressure is necessary and good for this to happen. "There's no one left to take the lead. But I tell you and you can see, we're closer now than light years to go." Again, this awareness, this strange attractor-pull toward the mysterious, infinate ocean. But now all of your illusions are seriously falling apart. You think to yourself 'nobody else has the truth, so it must rest with me. I must find it and tell it to myself.' Which means your God ofc. "Pick up here and chase the ride. River empties to the tide. Fall into the ocean." Jump in. Headfirst. It's your destiny. Do it with grace, honor, and love. "There is nothing left to throw of ginger, lemon, indigo. Coriander stem and the rose of hay." This is it. We left it ALL on the table. Our work here is done. "Strength and courage overrides the privileged and weary eyes of river poet search naïveté." He who is courageous enough to figure out life is a true philosopher. A sage. He who chases the wrong things, who is spoonfed truth without discernment, who arrests his development at naive level is a fool. "Pick up here and chase the ride. The river empties to the tide. All of this is coming your way." This means one of two things. 1) You ARE the ocean (Universe, God), and you (the river, your human self) is flowing back to You (your eternal Self). 2) Or, if you are still young like me, and the journey itself is 'coming your way.' The journey of going from high-energy, foolish young adult to calm, wise sage. I hope you enjoy this song and look forward to seeing what you all share <3

If I recall that one is referred to as its own facet, "no-self", but, they're all interwoven. Each one is described as connected and included in the others. Ego loss is necessarily intertwined with Samahdi and vice versa. - Today

I'm painfully sensitive to weed, to the point where I simply don't understand how people smoke it and go about their normal lives. When I've been out partying on nights out and somebody offers me some, if I have even a tiny draw I will be completely fucked for the rest of the night. Yet some people seem to smoke an entire joint and have a great time. It just makes me go completely non-verbal. It's great as a psychedelic taken on my own at home, but the way I see most people use it does not work for me at all.

Found these women to have a spiritual bent lol.

Dude, thanks to the economic crisis, 80% of the population is in poverty. Plus there's the war going on between hezbollah and israel, dude just yersterday israel dropped 100 missiles in 10 minutes in all of lebanon. It's becoming too depressing, the poverty, the war... I was thinking about killing myself, because the situation is so brutal.

Got sick and ended up stuck in bed, and I slipped back into internet entertainment. My internet entertainment streak was 19 days. I got sick at a pretty bad time too, right near the end of a tougher phase (first around two weeks of abstaining). Next time I get sick, I will be stronger. I am 100% committed to abstaining from internet entertainment for the rest of my life. Now I’m finally healthy again and I’ve started again. Today is Day 1. What’s interesting is it doesn’t feel like starting from zero. Getting back into it feels surprisingly easy when you return quickly, like the progress is still there. Now living without internet entertainment is the new normal. My biggest achievement is getting back on track quickly. This is my current abstaining list: (streak - days of 100% abstaining) Nicotine: 547 Video games: 497 Alcohol: 303 Caffeine: 303 Drugs: 303 Porn: 303 Gambling: 261 Junk food: 177 News on phone: 24 Audiobooks: 24 Live streaming platforms like Twitch: 24 Youtube: 1 Series/movies (alone): 1 Scrolling short form content: 1 Fapping to anything other than imagination: 1 Online music (alone): 1 Forums (only post journals): 1 Instagram, Sc, Fb, TikTok, etc.: 1 Online chess: 1 Keep phone on greyscale all the time: 1
