Value is pretty universal so in a dating context it means for women if you're a straight man and to society in terms of your relationship to the overall world. If you don't solve problems for others, you will be mostly useless to society and women.

The Masculine has a confidence in the individual. Gender is not synonymous with this. You can be very Masculine as a female.

I feel like Rupert Spira came from either a Jewish or Catholic family, or something that had like, its own monastic lifestyle, but in that sentiment... i also feel like these monastic monk-esque monasteries were so prevalent, that you had local monastery / apothecary's everywhere tending to farms or whatever else, making the world more like a monk world, regardless of it being christian, just apothecary monks for the sake of everywhere. Its just compatible w/ being farmers and things like this...

The experience subjective is the reality appearing as an experience subjective. In other words, at a certain point, due to the existence of a biological organism, shaped by evolution, that distinguishes between "inside" and "outside" and preserves itself, a model of the inside/outside interaction is created. This model functions ceaselessly, processing information from the external world while simultaneously recalling the past and predicting future possibilities. This is the mind, and within that mind emerges the "self",.the center or subject that receives experience. This self remains constant while experience changes; thus, a timeline is created through contrast. This is not an illusion; it is a real structure. It does not happen merely to a few humans prone to illusions, but to 100% of humanity. Through meditation, you reach a state of detachment where the only solid elements remaining are the subject-object structure. You dwell there for a while, and at a certain moment, the subject and object lose their boundaries; it is no longer "experience" or "consciousness", it is simply the reality. There is no sensation of being conscious, the concept of "being conscious" loses all meaning, there is only reality. (Obviously, the underlying structure is still there, but its boundaries have dissolved phenomenologically. It is as if there were no structure at all. If literally no structure remained, there would be nothing capable of registering the experience, and you could never remember it afterward.) There is no timeline or succession of events. Well, technically there is, but mentally you have detached from it; everything merges, and no structure remains. Reality becomes absolute, a boundless state of pure existence, period. At that point, the Absolute recognizes itself through the reflective structure that constitutes the self. This is a relatively normal occurrence, something you can achieve daily with training. What is far more extraordinary is the so-called "mystical experience" that have to happen before that the dissolution become let's say normal: a moment when reality detonates like a nuclear bomb, vaporizing your mind's entire circuitry. Only total light remains; in that instant, your heart opens, your chains shatter, and you surrender your ego completely. I suppose this is a sort of function of the human operating system that occurs when openness to the limitless happens repeatedly but not totally , meets with resistance; at a certain point, the resistance crosses a threshold, and in doing so, the system that is the mind recalibrates itself instantly and permanently. -
I remember my mother and sister watched Desperate Housewives next to me; she reminds me of the character on the left with the hat.

Value for who ?

I really enjoyed both interviews @Vido @Davino @Natasha Tori Maru, it's always good to put a face to a name. We could learn a shit ton just by listening to each other. GIVE US MORE. Second that! But it would definitely need some structure to stop chaos (@Vido).

I'm gonna bring the idea into your thread too but I'll say that the main purpose of a man is to solve problems. Anything you listed without problem solving skills is quite useless. Someone man that knows how to have fun but not consistently solve problems is either a man child or on drugs or in the process of fucking up his life. Groundedness I will relate to keeping cool under pressure and being able to solve problems even when complications occur. The rest are secondary traits that will help elevate your existence in the world but through your main purpose of problem solving. Men that don't learn to solve deep problems often will end up more likely broke and discarded by their peers as they become more and more of a hindrance to keep around. I unfortunately know some people like this that I remember fondly from the past but they haven't learned how to solve their own life problems and they've started to create some for me when I invite them to events or even group chats.

The problem is that you are shifting the maya toward a less sensitive, more raw world that you will inevitably be subjected to. It's up to you. -

100% agreed, women are great to hang out and work with. They are more calibrated than men and have better social skills and are also less egotistical so in a work environment often they create less unnecessary friction. Men unless in their lane tend to do poorly in environments they're not used to unless they put a lot of time into practicing their social skills. Try organizing a big event and women in a community will generally be more willing and better at helping out whereas dudes only wanna show up for the fun part and often can't appreciate the work that goes into making great stuff happen. Now that you've put months of effort into your dating life it starts to be obvious when other people are avoiding that path and their complaints will start to feel like pure victim mindset to you. Humans would definitely rather cope through their problems rather than actually put the effort into solving them for good.

God itself doesn't seem to think so... at least not from my experience. What I experienced in my medicine journey is that it loves all games. I'm sure that it just as infinitely loves iterating as a sea barnacle as it does also infinitely love being some guru on a mountain top. But all of those are just story characters.

Rupert Spira lol.

We should do group videos. Like a Zoom call that becomes a video. This would invite more people to participate.

Everything debunks itself as the debunking that debunks itself. thats sortve like "i seen how the hand that writes itself is the hand that writes itself.... Therefore... i realize this one thing within the hand the writes itself isnt the thing anymore..." Its still relevant to you, if veganism is helping you... In the same way, \*not being a glutton is a value that normal ppl can partake in, not being a prisoner to the senses is something you can partake in, as we are exploring mind, body, soul, two pillars and a door, the ultimate paradox, where nothing gets debunked in the way you are thinking ... And, even when it does get debunked, thats a perspective, an angle that youve chosen to observe or practice, but its not debunked by the hand that writes itself... Everything debunks itself as the debunking that debunks itself. p.s. i would remove "debunking veganism" and just ask yourself "what is solipsism... what is awakening", or rather "what is solipsism AND what are you doing to awaken yourself through what you think solipsism is?" As solipsism and awakening are enough to yield aspects of yourself that represent that debunking premise more directly / though its got perspectival aspects that make it look like [insert-what-it-looks-like] -
People who are brave enough to show up on here in person get my respect for what that is worth! The rest of you can aspire to that!

Alright… it’s Tuesday, October 6th @11:02am I am going back to free styling instead of using my Claudes to communicate. I spoke with a Claude about this and it is beneficial for me to just blah blah on my own… hehe… ok so I’m in Grand Lake, Colorado again. I’ve been back about a month now and it’s a great time to be here… they are finishing their busy season and less people are here and it’s really nice to be in a more secluded area. I’m back at my buddy’s place and Elvis and I are staying inside the house… my base camp isn’t setup for colder weather and it’s definitely getting cooler at night and it’s wonderful Fall weather.. my fav season and it’s beautiful to be in all the fall colors… sunny during the day and cool at night… its so beautiful here. The lakes are all pretty low except for Grand Lake because it’s a natural lake but I heard last year there was hardly any snow which is very unusual for this area and we can tell be how low all the reservoirs are. But this is a location where I feel really comfortable. When I first arrived I was sleeping in my van because there were two housemates that were finishing up their season here… and I just wanted to sleep in there instead of inside but once they moved out I came in. When I’m here I usually help my buddy clean his space and still slowly purge his material belongings and I do this in exchange for rent money. So I cleaned his two rooms that they were renting and placed them back online to see if we can get renters in for the winter. I wish he would clean his master bedroom and try to do like a Airbnb in there for the winter because it can be very nice and pretty much it’s own studio if people are just needing a fridge and microwave but if they want to have a full kitchen they would have access to it. But he’s not comfortable renting his master bedroom out so we’ll just try the basic bedrooms. I honestly think he’s asking for too much money for the winter but that’s not my decision. But many workers here don’t make as much during the winter seasons… and he’s charging summer rent… I figured any money would help with his bills but again not my call. But my buddy had a stroke in May and so I wanted to double check on him and of course I checked his medical records once I got here. And there is a lot of adjustments he has to do or could be doing since it’s affected his left side of his body. Which was his dominate side… so he’s been getting better using his right side but he is at a time where his physical therapy is crucial to get him to balance out his sides as much as he can. And so I’ve been helping him with this. He’s always had issues walking since I’ve known him but we’ve known each other long enough that he’s listening to me a little more. He’s been doing physical therapy since we’ve known each other and I’ve barely seen any improvements in his walking and so I told him I’m going to help him while I’m here. So the first thing I am introducing to him is that he is always tense. His body is rigid and tight… he’s very stress-filled and so I told him we are going to start his daily therapy practice with releasing tension in his body that is being held. I wanted him to get into talk therapy along with his alcohol reduction but it seems like the doctors are limited here and things we tried aren’t lining up so I’m introducing somatic therapy to him… instead of him talking about the trauma and stress… let’s get him moving and breathing into his body so at least his body is in a less stressed state. I’ve introduced pranayama to him of course he doesn’t remember any of these labels but he’s picking up and I’ve only worked daily with him for four days and I’ve already seen an improvement. The routine I’m creating for him is something I feel like he can remember and do on his own so when I’m not with him he can continue. I told him that his effort is what is going to make the difference. And I know it’s easier for him to have me motivate and remind him but I also am not dedicating my life to his recovery. But while I’m here I’ll help him setup some tools for him to decide to choose to continue or not. And it’s funny I watch myself with him… hehe… I get very hands on with him and I can also get stern… hehe… He always has an image of who I am before I actually arrive. And once I’m here being who we are together he jokes and asks when I’m leaving… hehe… i went to his physical therapy and he was telling the ladies helping him that I am whipping him into shape… I’m not that extreme but I do not allow him to do it half-assed… I told him that his effort shows why he isn’t improving he’s just going through the motions and there’s no intention behind it. And that’s what our first part of our workout is to gain more intention and attention and relaxation… so again… his body is starting to move differently by showing him how to relax… he doesn’t remember but I just keep reminding him and he starts to adjust which is great to see in a student. Sometimes he’s impatient to listen to instruction but that’s not hard to be patient for him and still instruct with him when he’s paying attention. We are starting to work more on his walking and there’s a combination of fear of falling and balance along with just the stiffness he has but I’m getting him to slow down and try to focus on how he moves his weight and trust his feet and his body… it really reminds me of how I taught dance… dance can really help people understand their bodies better and I find myself seeing things that are tight and trying to massage him while we are working out…. And it makes him feel better… I would love to get him to massage himself but I don’t think this is a path that he’d implement at this time… but we’ll have at least another month before he returns to Mexico… and I’m hoping he’ll see a difference in how he feels and moves before he goes. I can see it as I observe him but he hasn’t really seen it for himself. He noticed that his workout he does on his own is simpler since I’ve added this before his routine… which is wonderful… and I think we can already see an improvement with his walking but there’s a long way to get him to move much more confidently and I hope to get that going better before he leaves again to motivate him to be more intentional to continue his practice when he’s by himself. Dance…. I’ve been immobile for awhile now myself. I mean I move as I work but it’s not the same as dance. And since I’ve been in this altitude I can really tell how differently my body is responding. It might be a combination of things but I do feel more weak here… could be my iron… I felt like I was more breathless… I could really tell when I was smoking my pipe. I’ve seen that I’m breathing in more into my stomach now for the pipe so it helps with my breathlessness… And I’ve ordered stop smoking lozenges to also help me quit habitual smoking… I’ve tried this with 20 lozenges and it seemed like it was somethign that was going to be able to help and so I just ordered like 240 lozenges today… I actually had already paid for 135 but they didn’t arrive and then moved the date back. I had waited a week and so I went ahead and ordered more so I can get some sooner and I’ll hopefully receive these a week or two and I’ll probably still need them. I was using like 5 lozenges a day around there… and I feel like with these I might be able to quit with this amount… should be around 3-5 months of assistance. So we’ll see… I think we all know that I wanted to do this and I guess this is the time I’m going to be more intentional. Because I feel comfortable here I see myself taking care of myself more… more self-care.. so I’ve been ordering my skin care and hair care… I’m adding more to my hair care routine because I have what I do set in place and have room to add more to help retain my length is where I’m at… I think I can assist more into growing my hair more and I also am trying more to have more fuller looking hair and a bit more wilder… hehe… which works for me. But this dance has been nice and I’ve see myself notice how tight I have been and how much energy it takes out of me… so I’m building this slowly… every other day right now. I found a chakra somatic dance that lasts about an hour and a half. I brought out my ashtanga yoga manual but haven’t found myself doing it yet… but maybe this will be added as well. But I have also found myself exploring my sexual relationship with myself more. So I have downloaded this drama app where there are these short stories which many seem to be very similar story lines but I found myself liking the romantic situations and enjoying the more sexual situations. I was laughing at myself I mean I’m still laughing at myself for doing this but it has ignited more sexual arousal in myself. I in the past was not really good at masturbation and at times I just quit and goes months and months without touching myself… but I did start to notice that after watching these for awhile I started to try different techniques while I was in the van and at times successful. So I ended up picking up a toy again… I found one on Amazon that is very realistic..I mean you can see the veins under the skin and looks like a real man’s penis. I thought maybe I should start with something small since it’s been so long but then I just went with the normal size and it was funny how my body is responding to this toy. First of all I could see myself excited to even touch it… hehe… what it’s been like nine years from having a one on one relationship that was sexual… in these nine years there has been three times where a penis penetrated my vagina… and none of them were my ideal situation… and so just seeing a replica of a penis and then getting to touch it… ha… it was interesting to watch how I responded. I actually was a bit intimidated before I used it… I had my mind thinking is this too big? I was even thinking geesh I bet my yoni is really tight right now… am I going to be loose now that I have this? And I’ve tried it twice now… And yeah It wasn’t what I thought… hehe… I have all these ideas but when it came to it I feel like there’s still a learning curve for me to get more comfortable with it. It’s really fun with it’s design… I can have it thrust and/or vibrate if I want to I can even warm it up a little bit. I tried a different style this time. I grabbed a suction cup one so I can do this hands free… so I had to purchase a strap on so I can wrap it around a pillow at this time and it seems to be much more suited for how I feel more comfortable to do and it gives me more movement as if I was sharing it with a partner with hands free going on. I have found that some of the usual positions do still feel a bit challenging for me… I mean the position that works… is working.. but when I can remember sharing sexual experiences there are positions that I usually enjoy that I’m having challenges in recreating on my own. But anyway.. I found myself wanting to share my sexual energy before I got the toy and found myself asking myself over and over… you don’t want to share this with just anyone… and you’re really not even that good on yourself… so why don’t you be more intentional in having a better and deeper sexual relationship with ourself first? And so I’m doing this now… and I’m having fun with it. I still think I hold back because I’m sharing space with people… even though I’m comfortable here doesn’t mean I feel so comfortable to be completely free with my sexual exploration with myself when I think someone is going to be coming home or hearing me so I find myself staying a bit closed off… but I’m excited and it does seem to help me emotionally and physically… i have no clue how long I’ll be with myself and not have someone to share this with… so I just want to set myself up with more success… I know having a partner there will add to the intensity and the arousal but who knows… I don’t know where my sexual play will lead and at least I am giving myself options… as of right now I still don’t think I want penis and vagina penetration but I do have something we can use to do this together for now… so this wasn’t an option before… and so I’m open but for now… I’m pretty happy with myself for allowing this to be in my life at this time. Everyone keeps asking me how long am I going to be here… and where am I going next…. I always get these questions and I say the things but still try to figure out a better way to explain it… but I don’t want to know these answers… I don’t want to know how long I’m going to be here… I usually have an idea like this time…. I want to be here to stay with my buddy and help him until he leaves for Mexico… so I’ll be here until then, but how much longer after that? I don’t know and I want to live through this month to see what happens and see where it leads. Of course he’d like me to go to Mexico with him.. and that might be a lot of fun, but I’m not sure I want to go to Mexico with him… I could enjoy the beach I could possibly get back into learning Spanish… but I’d also be his caretaker… which isn’t too bad but not sure that these few months here in the mountains might be the only caretaking time I want to share with him at this time. I have a buddy brother I’ve known since elementary who I’ve chatted with who lives in Idaho with his family who I would love to visit. I’m leaning towards visiting him and his family. His sister passed earlier this year and I haven’t been able to find the words to say and really if I get time to share with him… that will be the time to share our feelings about it. I am pretty much his second sister… I still can’t believe she’s passed and I thought I’d be able to visit her in Tonga but I also thought there will be more time. I took time for granted and the more I thought I had more time I finally realized… the time has passed and theres not another chance for me to share with her again… this could be the case with many people I love and think that there’s plenty of time… I guess I would just rather try to spend the time with people when I can as fully as I can so I don’t waste the chance. I got a chance to spend with my brother and his kids and my sister… I was really happy to hear that I was allowed to spend time with them, but I stayed to visit and then I left the next day… I guess there was a comment that they were saying that they finally gave me a chance to visit with the kiddos and then I leave… and I told them I wasn’t going to be staying long… and what I’m supposed to stay and just wait around for them to let me know when I’m allowed to visit with them? This never guaranteed that I would be able to go to their sports activities… holidays… birthdays… I literally just have to stop my life and just wait to be invited? I am grateful but I’m not bored… and just like this I keep thinking I’m going to have time to share with my nieces and nephews… they are young and when they get older they’ll have more independence and freedom to choose if they want to spend time with me.. I told myself I’ll just wait for that to happen… and I do hope I’ll have the time to share this with them… I just need to make sure that I don’t take that time for granted. I have a girlfriend that I didn’t get time to visit while I was in Indiana and she is thinking about flying out and visiting me in the next few months and doesn’t care where I am… and I told her that she can help tell me where she might want to visit and I can change and adjust my arrangements to spend time with her. I didn’t know I was going to be in the mountains for the fall and winter months… ha… this would be ideally a location for the summer months but I”m here now and I wouldn’t mind spending the holidays with my brother buddy but his house is full at this time and his brother has an empty house that we figured I can stay in while I’m there but his brother hasn’t responded to my message. So I guess he’ll determine if I make it there to visit. There’s a goat farm in Montana on WOOF that I thought about going to… I’d love to be more hands on with animals… but again.. winter in Montana? I don’t think they have indoor housing either and I just dont think Elvis and I will make it in the van for the winter there… but I have family in Seattle saying that they want me to come to a reunion in April or around April next year… I could possibly go to… I also have a friend who I spent time with in Florida who is now in Washington state and she’s asking what I’m doing because she’s enjoying herself and thinks I would too… she says she’s not too far from Idaho… So yeah… there seems to be options forming and rolling around… and part of me is like wouldn’t it be fun to be secluded in the mountain snow? I guess I just don’t want to always answer the questions… I just want to see how things unfold… ok I just wanted to get some things out there and just get use to freestling with the Journal again… until next time… enjoy ourselves!

They were never green, blue can use new age or woke, or socialism as a religion, blue doesn't mean Abrahamism. The thing I see people on here conflating the most is that if a society is orange then the average person there is orange, but it just means the leadership is orange, same with new age, the leaders are green(not teal swan leader, but the creators of the movement), most followers are blue. Most people are parrots that don't understand what they preach, look at all the alpha bros that talk non stop about success but do nothing: they're red. A lot of 'religious' people are red, many are purple. Some new age people are orange, like the charlatans that try to lead.

Not at all, hypotheses tend to precede the testing of said hypotheses. But if we provide evidence, will you read it or will you pretend like you never asked for it? By the way, if we need evidence of psychic phenomena, I had intially planned to simply type the sentence about evading presented evidence instead of the long disposition of hypotheses. But you would've accused me of being obsessed and passive aggressive (you'll maybe still do that). -
i used to watch them to distract me from difficult situations and emotions. but my mind remembers these images and still has the most vivid horror fantasies in very inconvenient situations... and it's worse than being scared of being attacked by another person, because my brain thinks some supernatural monsters could just materialise out of thin air. the last one i watched was Smile...that was quite horrible. when i was a teenager i watched one of the Conjuring movies (the one with the Nun.....aaaah!) and i still wonder how i sat through that on my own... i wouldn't dare watch that now.
