  1. Past hour
  2. You have never met anyone, actually. All that’s happening here on the internet highway is a mentally constructed inner-net of information being exchanged in the form of multiple formless ideas. Just so you know.
  3. @Leo Gura if we can imagine something to be real then how do we distinguish from real real and imaginary real? I intuit that's it's direct experience, how did you get the insight to distinguish then both can you please explain
  4. “Almost all true spirituality has a paradoxical character to it, which is why the totally rational or dualistic mind invariably misses the point, and just calls things it does not understand wrong, heresy, or stupid." -Richard Rohr
  5. Obviously 🙄 It’s the greatest spiritual story ever told. You of all people know this already, you have your own spiritual story broadcasting all over the internet for people you’ve never met to read.
  6. I find naturals tend to be only good in specific environments and struggle to adapt to others especially those they don't have status in. I've had a few extroverted friends that ran laps over me in places where they knew people and were naturally charismatic and talked a lot and gathered the attention to themselves. In other places where they knew no one that I invited them to the jokes landed very poorly and it turned into a lack of calibration pretty quickly as they understand the fundamental social dynamics and how to adapt to different social environments because they just socialized by instinct. @Zenterus Makes sense its common a lot pickup coaches have an existential crisis in their 40s if they don't have other businesses or communities they're a part of. It's like an unmarried party girl in her 40s the results just start getting worse and it's hard to cope with. Roosh V was one of the funniest ones turning from a degen pickup guy to a christian to try and keep the frame. Ross Jeffries is one of the few exceptions but I wouldn't say it's aged well, pun intended.
  7. @Rafael Thundercat Good points. I've been having some strange dreams lately myself, I couldn't consciously orchestrate them if I wanted to much less know what was going to happen
  8. Success can be pursued for healthy or toxic reasons. Many people are driven by toxic motivations from bad upbringing.
  9. Then stop doing it. No need to broadcast your indifference to the entire planet, you’ve already made it perfectly clear to me, your mansplaining to the rest of the forum is unnecessary. Just stop period.
  10. There are two unresolved assumptions behind this for me: That the unhappiness was necessary. This is probably the biggest hidden assumption. Some other possibilities that might explain success or earned wisdom would be we learned a lesson through observation, someone else's experience, education, relatively painless feedback. That becoming wise was a “success.” Which is in itself a value judgement. How do you feel about these possibilities?
  11. Feelings are not a reliable way of reaching truth. Why would they be? Feelings are about survival, not truth. Falsehood feels real because you imagine its true.
  12. yes, i fully agree. in some scenes, you can really empathise with her. the rest evokes a lot of mixed feelings and frustration. yesterday, i felt so sad for Helaena all day. but in my opinion, her end is, perhaps, also "good" (speaking in terms of the show) because it is so tragic and it really makes you go back and reflect on her character. Helaena was one of my favourites. the other character i can most relate to is Alicent. in the first two seasons, i believe she is sort of written in such a way that you are supposed to hate her, but over time, i could relate a lot to the internal and external pressures she seemed to experience. i found it really interesting how in this season, all of this lack of sympathy and ambivalence surrounding her character just completely disappeared. Aemond surprised me a little towards the end and i hadn't expected that turn for him at all.
  13. Today
  14. I was reading the molecule of more book and i had this question. Why does falsehood feel so real? Could you please explain? Reading that book i realised how dopamine basically tricks your brain to think that outcome is real and will give joy but that's not the case I'm trying to answer it but not able to understand
  15. Shadow work > rumination
  16. August 10th, I declare that this will be a shadow work+ Kriya yoga progression journal instead of a salad.
  17. The stay in the kitchen meme has been hard countered boys "When he has a social life, he forgot that his place is AT WORK" The nap one is actually a common one I've heard. On my podcast we had a girl who literally said that's her ick in men when they take a nap lmao like girl we are conquering can we please chill for a few moments in the day
  18. Sounds like a souls-like game that needs alot of work, Alas its a start on your journey. The Jesus part id try to distance myself from, cause Jesus / Satan is like, cringe in the realm of art in general. Video games blend art / programming, hence life is nothing but art and programming (in the newage, constructive / deconstructive sense), that which touches history/myth, in as mush as you can balance it w/ life / living and creating at the forefront of what' most important to you / what serves as something functional in your life. Maybe you have something your battling in your own life, and thats why this idea was (or continues to be) attractive, this whole, Attack -> Defense genre you are currently inside. Tell me about your life, and ill tell you if it makes sense or not.
  19. Worst outcomes sure because divorce is not tolerated much in Islamic and other religious communities, do you have statistics for reporting being unhappier in modern marriages?
  20. Islam is designed for pre-rational minds. Actualized.org is designed for post-post-rational minds. In a certain sense it is easier to be happy as a pre-rational mind. Then again, if you think Muslims are truly happy, you are kidding yourself.
  21. Proof that we are God. We have the power to create a Badass Jesus or a Gentle Jesus. It's all in your imagination.
  22. So you SUCCEEDED in becoming wise due to the UNHAPPINESS that was caused from being unwise?
  23. True! Thanks Leo I'm not surprised you get it.
  24. Sounds like you were UNHAPPY with my post and now you are trying to SUCCEED in persuading me into something. Thus proving my point.
