Wow — that sounds wild — looking forward to it a lot more after your comment @MsNobody! And looking forward to meeting up in another occasion. Maybe I grow the courage to attend Burning Man at some point. Btw, this same org doing the Iceland Eclipse will do Egypt Eclipse next year. Also something to keep an eye on. I'll see how this one goes. Cheers from 🇮🇸 -

According to you there, no problem. For me here, I see it differently. -

You are a very complex mind that can be aligned to be open to its ultimate nature, or be closed and lost in the emotional structure of the psyche. There is not any illusion, just levels of density. -
Nice! Makes sense. I'm now traveling through Iceland and using pumpkin seeds as one of my staples Hahaha that's awesome! I did the same, and I believe veggiers (fiber) recommendations are way below what's optimal. But that also depends a lot on (the microbiota of) the individual. Yes, this argument makes a lot of sense. It's what got me into supplementation in general.

In all your messages there es any kind of insulting and some allusion to point that you are so special and the others are stupid. It's quite challenging chatting with you because you don't listen, just repeating defensive formula with subtle insults . Over all the emoticons at the end of the messages seemingly happy or loving after insulting are so aggressive Reading you what is perceived is not "complete and perfect no self" but "defensive passive aggressiveness" ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥱🥱🥱🥱 -
@Jirh or have fun for the sake of having fun, girls are fun. I discovered a new word yesterday `scary fun` it isn´t a real word I just made it up, but when I saw others do approaches it were in fun ways I normally would be scared of to do, because I am too timid and stuck in my head. That is when I thought `scary fun`, meaning what is fun but scares you a bit aswell. Like doing a dance for a girl or giving a whole group a hug or high fives and give ENERGY etc.

There's no need for such hostility.

You have to go out and train to identity girls you like. None of this stuff is automatic.

Nikki Sixx is pretty good with insight. He's intuitive. -
I notice that I generally don't immediately know if some girl is attractive. Rarely have I felt that initial spark of attraction. Most of the times I see a girl, no feelings, no attraction. For me, attraction often develops after weeks into dating. I don't immediately start fantasizing about the girl I'm dating. So when I approach a girl, it's not an authentic expression from me. I am literally doing something that I don't care to do. That's probably why the girls don't vibe with me, because my vibe is already off from the get-go. Is this experience universal or is it just me? Is my sexuality broken? Or is it something that evolves with practice?

You gotta chill out

This is a really great video on the variation of judgment of taste. Notice how you can see a truth that is mediated by perspective but you also register an "I can see it like that" even if you don't. -
Holy shit

If you suppress emotion when engaging with genuine psychopathy, only to come off as more civil and perhaps more argumentatively effective on a virtual text editor machine, you are doing yourself a huge disservice for your general life. But yes, perhaps even better is to simply not engage. -
Wasn't my intention to insult, it just seemed like a fit. Everyone is working on different things.

What medications are you currently taking or prescribed?

Jirh replied to Carl-Richard's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I appreciate the honesty and humility in this even though I don't share those experiences myself. What's more likely, though? That altered perception creates altered conclusions? Or that altered perception creates more perceptual openness? In other words, are these 'woo woo' experiences a product of that perceptual shift or a result of access to something external? Schizophrenics have those experiences regularly. But they are pathologized and called delusional. Personally, I don't think all schizophrenics are pathological or delusional. I think we can draw some insightful conclusions from what they perceive. I just don't agree that their direct conclusions are true. I think the insights are deeper and more subtle. There's no may or may not. You did see it, and my explanation holds up My explanation is closer and more local in time and place. And we're like-minded, so there's no coincidence! Oops! I mean it's just a coincidence lol Why reach for some distant abstract explanations when there's a closer more coherent and tangible one? -
I think the desire for harmony is causing you to compromise authentic expression. I do suspect this is something - perhaps, I am never 100% - you might struggle with more than someone like me. A lot of your tension would rest in the space between harmony & connection and self expression. Big marks of maturity, stability and self trust in relationships are often not lower conflict or friction; but how well we action resolve and handle ambiguity. It is the repair process that is a marker of higher consciousness. Friction is a given. I think this is why he is striking home so well with you - probably less some of his other traits

Damn bro, I'm sorry that you've been diagnosed as mentally challenged. We all have our struggles in life

Lol. These ”holier than thou” projections and backhanded compliments are getting ridiculous.

Watched a bit of the interview. He's seems good for everything you're working on.

Regarding perceptual openness, yes it’s a broad term ig so that can mean a lot of things. I don’t claim I know all about it, but what I mean is that I’ve experienced how when the ego structure loosens up its like an open enough state that made it possible for me to have more more “woo woo” experiences. It’s not the whole story but I noticed clear correlation there. Also the combination of my own experience there and the fact that most people in society and media don’t talk about these phenomena barely at all, suggests most aren’t having those experiences, and since average people have average dense egos I feel I can draw that correlation for more than just myself. That’s funny you mention😂 I may or may not have seen that post, but occasionally when I think of this topic of infinite possibilities or how some say reality is chaos etc and I think of some “random thing” as an example for it, I’ve thought of pink elephant before, it may be picked up from somewhere where I’ve heard it being used as example in similar contexts, don’t remember clearly. I get your possible explanation there, could be yea. The last part I meant that average people (I’m not firm on what that means but it’s useful term for now), their reality entails having such an obvious daily experience of being real human and it’s almost as if everyone around them confirms it and also all the information they can consume, just society in general. So for us it’s obvious the ego structure can dissolve more or less it’s not completely rigid, but a lot of people would consider ego dissolution insane concept, they wouldn’t even get what you mean at all, because it doesn’t match anything in their experience. I meant there’s some similarity there imo to how you are coming at this topic of psychic phenomena, I’m not at all saying you’re like those people obviously but just that you don’t experience the psychic stuff (or in a way you’d think is obvious) maybe you also have somewhat stable solid like sense of reality daily, so the science paradigm makes sense to your experience. But if you had different experience you’d change your view, but you speak as if you need science to change your view. Science btw doesn’t say pseudoscience isn’t true, it says “we just can’t prove it” or am I wrong? I kinda go all in on my replies now but let me know if it’s too much if I’m not reading the room properly -
@Natasha Tori Maru I think Naftali only has brothers. And many of them. I will keep studying him, even though I don’t agree with everything he says, I resonate with his deep push for authenticity, honesty and vulnerability from the get go. At least I want to practice that more in my life. I’ve been the opposite of that all my life really, and it hasn’t borne fruits, as it wastes so much time with the wrong people. In this current times, the middle path is most likely the right choice, but I still wanna challenge myself, experiment and directly experience true vulnerability and authenticity from the get go. But I am aware, such behaviour is most likely only going to be punished in our society.
