  1. Past hour

  2. Contemplating Motherhood

    soos_mite_ah replied to soos_mite_ah's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    I think a lot of my posts can be summed up by this post that I saw a while back that said the following: "The decision to have a child is an inherently selfish decision that needs to be paid back by a lifetime of selflessness."
  3. "Papaji’s Direct Stance: Papaji frequently taught that teachers who actively charged for darshan or spiritual instruction were committing fraud. He took inspiration from his own master, Sri Ramana Maharshi, who never permitted the solicitation of money for spiritual teachings"
  5. On quote #666 I'd love to watch an episode of yours explaining Reality as Mind. I'm sure it would be very insightful and would catalyse my ongoing awakenings and contemplation inquiries.
  6. @Leo Gura Any updates?

  7. What leisure activities do you practice.

    WAaaat someones paying for that crunchyroll subscription? I've been trying to watch it for a while now and the torrents are all dead
  8. Hi I plan to go to the nearest major city by train ride once every week to get enough pickup experience to get a girlfiend. The communte there and back is 5-6 hours, during which I can definitely get in a lot of time for yoga. My question is, is that worth it? It's definitely easier than doing it all at home tired after a day of walking, and great sages like Om Swami meditated effectively despite distractions.
  9. @Leo Gura You’ve never played a GTA? I remember you commenting on rockstars ability to make good games. (Which is kinda rare)
  10. Yeah, somehow I don't think that when I was still a complete newbie, that Jim's message would work on me then. But maybe there are newbies that get it quickly.
  11. What makes you think it's rare ?
  12. "We do not deny that there are countries—such as America, England, and if I were more familiar with your institutions, I would perhaps also add Holland—where the workers can attain their goal by peaceful means."-Marx "The transition from capitalism to communism takes an entire historical epoch. Until this epoch is over, the exploiters inevitably cherish the hope of restoration, and this hope turns into attempts at restoration."-Mao(AFTER he is already ruling China) Marx did not live in a democracy, if you lived in north Korea today, would you be more inclined toward violent revolution? That's where the references to violent revolution is about, dictatorships. "[T]he first step in the revolution by the working class is to raise the proletariat to the position of ruling class, to win the battle of democracy."(Source: The Communist Manifesto)

  13. What leisure activities do you practice.

    I don’t really like leisure if something doesn’t advance my goals it feels like a waste of time. I mostly enjoy fantasy shows and anime and I use it as visualization and an education in history. Been getting into historical dramas recently, Rome HBO is sweet and so is the Tudor’s. House of the dragon as well. Rise of the shield hero is a sweet anime I’m watching rn. Harem lifestyle and saving the world, what’s not to like.

  14. Young boy found the red pill

    Optimized Life replied to Optimized Life's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    That writing wasnt intended to be 100% autobiographical as it isnt It's semi biographical but also constructed among other characters or archetypes i have seen It is representing the 3rd person for modern "young man" I personally saw through john anthony inmediately for example, and weed can be beneficial for some people, or beneficial depending how its used. I wouldn't take my writing at face value I dont personally like the term "self-actualization" as it is overcomplicating everything Its just personal succcess, all that fucking matters. Even if you're not driven by much money, its still personalized success only people care about, which is idiosyncratic and highly variable.
  15. We finally agree on something! I think it’s fine sex is at the core of our existence. That was gonna be my answer too I just wanted to see what people would say since I was concerned my answer was shallow. I was gonna say butts. I like butts because they’re clearly a very well done system that conveys a lot of information in very little time. So many times I’m depressed about life and I look at a woman with a nice butt and I instantly feel better. Idk how that works but it’s clearly genius divine level design. I watched this video on it it made me appreciate them even more. You know what they say great minds think alike 😎
  16. I'm having a hard time parsing this honestly.

  17. Success, but no stress

    Optimized Life replied to Optimized Life's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    Success but nothing else. Dont have to like me not a role modal But i can be a model in one thing, one thing i can promise Thats success from a difficult circumstances, in a difficult time, in a world like this I will fucking make it, i ask for nothing else I wont ever be Justin Bieber, no ones giving me a handout, i'm not on TV, i dont have some secret network Its all heart from here But fuck everything else Social media, politics, consciousness Fuck that. Unambitious convenience friends Debates, arguing, aimless philosophizing Fuck that shit Im a high testosterone ambivert No. fuck the forum, fuck alcohol, fuck late nights with depressed drifters Im not a rapper and my life isn't a movie I just want the success I just want the multiple visas I just want the fucking house the island and the peace and the micro community and the pretty women and no stress, no fucking crazy political people, feminism this vs toxic andrew tate this blah fuck off Owen cook this is this fuck off I dont care fuck you Success, only success.
  18. I'll likely pick up GTA 6 as I'm a fan of the series but I'm skeptical as to whether this games story and characters will be on par with the writing in Red Dead 1, 2 & GTA 4, since the lead writer left after GTA 5 (which I would say is one of the weaker written Rockstar games). I reckon it will be good fun at the least, especially with friends if the multiplayer isn't bogged down by limitations, but for me it's mostly interesting to play to observe the technological qualities of the game itself (graphics, game systems etc.) and to get an idea of where gaming is headed in the future. I'm more curious than excited tbh.
  19. Today
  20. Interesting. Obviously a comedy show is more immersive than reading a comic ..and a comedy movie is even more immersive. Do you think it’s the fact that actors are real people that takes you out of the story?If someone turned your favorite comic into a movie.. would you have any interest in watching it..or would it still be a no?
  21. What if he believes he's the only one, period. You're stuck in the Cartesian plane.... black and white thinking.
  22. Never once have I seen GTA and had any desire to play it.
  23. Even of he thinks awakening is sucking poo water through his nostrils, he has no idea whether he is the best in the world at that. This is a general problem of epistemology of having worldwide 100% knowledge and if you can't see that, you're honestly sucking poo water through your nostrils. And if he means "I'm the best in the world from my perspective", or "I'm the best in the world at doing my own very specific thing that nobody else does down to each individual hair on my scrotum because they are not me", to say that makes no fucking sense. You see, some statements make no fucking sense despite how much you want to twist and contort them. You're making it incredibly difficult for me to not just constantly scream "sociopath" every time I read anything you write because it's so shifty and groundless and fake. But here you go.
  24. No, I really can't watch a movie. It's not something that I do like a purpose , I literally hate watching the actors, same than I hate the effect of alcohol, but I like the effect of LSD for example. Just preferences. Anyway I like reading comic. I don't know exactly where is the difference but there is So except watching movies there is not anything else to do?
  25. I have been obssesed with sex in my mind since I was 11. I have very scared panic attack about dying since I was 9 and the only thing I found I could do to stop was to think about sex before sleeping or I would freak out. I corrupted my own mind with sex and now its just the way it thinks so that. Theres nothing I can do about it. To do meditation I just think about it till I almost fall asleep then I can stop and stare at the void. My life theme is sex and death.

  26. What is some music you like?

  27. I guess you’re correct. I agree that states are pretty arbitrarily made and not usually in favour of people and ultimately will collapse. I disagree that some sort of global workers revolution is possible nor a good idea. I think it’ll come in progressive states with the advent of automated labor. Something like this :
