Doing things. I've noticed I spend so much damn time in the planning state - trying to control my life, always feeling like I need to be somewhere sometime, doing something to get somewhere - which is a different state to actually being in flow with doing things - doing things like writing this reflection. I think I thought of re-opening my journal a week ago - probably wrote it at least three times in my physical journal to remember to start - why not actually just start again? Like I am now. It seems I'm attached to having some grand scheme of scheduling where everything fits rather than actually living the ideas I plan for myself most of the time, it's probably been five, six years of this as my predominant state relative to my actual action taking. The amount of hours I've spent planning my life - hundrends, even thousands, relative to the amount of time, effort, spent consistently living my plans, adapting to life via lived experience rather than my conceptualisation of it. Probably down to fear. There is no inner work, emotional challenge, grit and attrition needed to plan a gym session - there is when you're in the gym. I hear a lot about identity in the self-help sphere, who are you voting for? It's not like I'm starting by ground zero by any means when it comes to taking action. But this is me voting for becoming an executor, less planning, far less planning, much more decisiveness. Much more just do the thing and figure it out as I go. All maps are the maps of others - I need to figure out mine by exploring the territory. Expectations has been huge in holding me back and keeping me in this planning state - I basically stopped skateboarding for 4 years because high expectations I could not meet in any single session crept in and tore down my resolve to continue the practice of mastery. I've come to understand this through the contrast of having fun with it again, just randomly picking it up or taking my board to countries I travel to - loving the work, I can love working on tricks, I love hard work in the gym, expectations of outcome and comparison of the training to that fantasy kills the love of the work. I think Ecology is the main benefit of planning - making sure there's harmony on the surface with the life you're living. Not planning eight hours of gym, eight hours of studying and four hours of meditation back to back in the same day would be a basic example. There's more nuance than that of course - what ways in which you pursue outcomes take away from eachother, and which syngergise. I think life feels awfully dry as well in this overly conceptualised way of living - it kills spontaneity, intrigue to a degree, the perception is bland. Fun, play, postivity, inspiration need to come into the moments of practice for it to be sustainable, or worth doing. So... Doing things - I did a thing, time to do another thing.

I ask AI for information. Is there anything wrong about that ? But I don’t learn from AI . but I just read books or watch lectures on YouTube . I only use ChatGPT to edit my posts on the forum and organize them a bit like editing the grammar or things like this . If I’m looking for a fact or information I ask AI and I don’t see anything wrong with that. What’s the difference between asking AI or asking Google or any search engine ? The AI itself uses the internet database to generate its response or where else would it collect information from ? Being overly sensitive against AI is also extreme just like the AI slop . So balance is key .

It's all good, no insult taken.

Im working on a little side project that falls into the realms of science, and i think it would be illuminating, cause although i dont consider science that often, or i dont research the latest science, i can atleast give a snapshot of what i see as being like, the way to look at it from an harmonious place, to build upon it. Otherwise we wont have science, but will instead have lots of little unsolvable paradoxes that contradict science. I mean its like, the level of priority towards a thing, doesnt always touch upon the truth of it, e.g., is the essence of the table best worshiped by visiting the table often enough that you can look at it 5 hours a day? Thats really its own topic. But i been saying: You have the "istemi towards", and you have the distillation of truth. And we could also prioritize spirituality all day, or some specific of it, but if it doesnt point towards its essence, if it doesnt distill it in some way / fashion that would otherwise have it collapsable, then it might not be serving the truth of the matter, or the κινησις, the kinetic changes taking place. Like its always gonna change, but its like... Iuno part of the journey is seeing if the numerous paradoxes eat away at the idea or not, like whether its something physical or conceptual, its hard to say whats gonna bubble up to the surface for sure. Dont rely on me to carry out the sciency things, for im just striving to recognize it, hopefully so others who actually like science will be steadfast in figuring it out or finding a new found interest in it

i love that:) thank you for reminding me! -
@Ziran thank you:) i guess what's missing is a sense of belonging or being at home. which is a bit paradoxical to achieve when things are constantly moving and developing, and yet, i'd probably complain about being bored if they were too static and there was nothing left to work toward. it's just hard to balance those two.

Someone here replied to AtmanIsBrahman's topic in Intellectual Stuff: Philosophy, Science, Technology
It’s dismissed in academic philosophy and considered horseshit off the cuff because of two reasons: 1- it cannot be proved or disproved. Go spend eternity trying to prove something exists outside your bubble of perception right now . See how that works out. It is simply not possible by definition. Because you are always using your own consciousness to view the world and to prove the consciousness of others . Which is also just impossible. I don’t care how intimate and close that person is to you .. like maybe your wife ..go kiss her and stare deep inside her eyes and you find yourself inside her eyes ..not her . 2- it is dismissed also because it’s completely unpractical. Unless this truth of solipsism can be utilized like in lucid dreaming to impact the world to your favor then it’s pointless regardless of whether it’s true or not . -
20 min vinyasa flow yesterday, and the same today. Done this program 9 times now. This is a program I have returned to again and again over the years. This time I want to really master it. I feel I haven't quite unlocked how open it can make my body yet, but this time it is time to really see what doing it like 40-50 times can do. It is amazing what only 20 minutes of a really well-composed program can do, and like the psycho-emotional spaces that can be touched with briefly touching into the warrior-poses during a well-composed flow.

1. Avoid questions, statements are more fun. 2. If you have to ask questions, open ended is better 3. If you’re asked basic boring questions, silly replies are more fun than serious ones. Who cares where you are from. Although don’t go overboard 4. Share how you really feel and take risks socially. You can’t connect to people otherwise. This takes some social skills however 5. Be balanced about compliments but also show appreciation and gratitude for new perspectives and so on. Being interested is often the same thing as interesting. People like to feel smart and have their ideas be valued Is that a framework? Idk. Basic fundamentals perhaps

Unfortunately, his principles are not in the public domain, so using them would be copyright infringement. They are principles - they don't objectively exist, and yet they make up the rules or parameters of reality, so to speak - much like the law of gravity. You can point to objects falling, yet the principle itself is not found in any particular instance of falling. The main thing is to study them and notice that merely thinking about them is just that - thinking - and makes little to no difference in your life. Their effectiveness lies in actually adopting them. Also, guard against the tendency to turn them into simplistic "techniques" to be adopted, like taking on a posture or something of the sort. I would start by picking up one or two principles (honor, integrity, responsibility, honesty, excellence, and so on) and contemplating what they are really about. What do they demand of you? How can you (your thinking, behavior, and "being") better align with them? For example, what is it to actually tell the truth to yourself?

It is neither about mindset nor the "oppressive" system. There are always ways to create a shitload of value in this society (or at least perceived value), and make yourself rich in the process, however, to put it in the most simple and general terms, most people (which possibly includes us as well) just don't have what it takes. And that's mostly not really their fault actually. It's just how reality works. But then most people would rather like to bend or adjust this uncompromising reality with their socialist policies, which is understandable. But you can only do that to a certain reasonable degree until you get reminded how things really work

Well, it's not. People misremember things all the time. And your memory is always colored by your current mood and situation. Consistency is an illusion.

Sure, I'm pointing to the larger issue at play that shouldn't be ignored. Protecting is good, but looking deeply at those issues and the darkness within ourselves is even more important. Not to fight it, but to re-integrate it into our own being with Love.

Mindset over matter because it's what you can control. Doomerism is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Doesn't mean you can't be pessimistic. Too much optimism minimizes risks too much. You can succeed the way you are, you just need to find what works for you. In general, you want to be tough with yourself when it comes to living your life. No excuses. If times are hard, you endure it and without too much whining and complaining. That said, it's not that bad currently. Could've been a lot worse. Even politically it doesn't compare too how things where during the two world wars in terms of societal collapse. Even covid was child's play compared to tuberculosis or the plague. Mfs getting sad because they got nothing to do but play video games, Netflix and fap all day.

I dont agree with vilifying pedophiles, but obviously they need either to be isolated from kids if theres a risk of abuse and/or need psychological help. A lot of them have been subject to abuse themselves, which creates a cycle. We can say yeah in a perfect society no one would want to abuse or attack someone else but we have to deal with the reality of what life is now. Protecting children by having safeguards with adults that arent related to them is not vilifying pedophiles. The fact is they do exist, its like saying we should have no security at banks because we don't want to demonise thieves. Its very possible to try and improve the level of consciousness of a society whilst also protecting the most vulnerable.

in the mental health section someone alluded to it when i replied to their post about how therapy should be done exclusively by AI. and somewhere else someone got upset about my character, too.

Probably absorved by the gut microbes in that case.

So true. In my case it mostly works for peeing, gotta translate the skill to the other hole.

I get ya man. Sorry I didn't mean it as an insult. I was just fucking around.

Any further users that challenge the idea of using conversation frameworks will be sentenced to the naughty step . Dissent will not be tolerated.

Because this whole thing has STRUCTURE. Structure that's being held up by Divine Will, but Structure which you can't easily escape. God wants it so. God has placed itself into a Divine Labyrinth. This thing has LAYERS. And God itself doesn't know how it could be solved, that's what makes this so exciting ✨
