  1. Past hour
  2. Marathons are definitely problematic. I see so many people destroying their bodies over these.
  3. @Jordan of the Shire thanks. Mine is not that bad anymore
  4. Of course it was worth it and I don’t regret it. However I wish I was more cautious before going into this.
  5. The road to hell feels like heaven. The road to heaven feels like hell.
  6. That's the thing I don't have any, I have very few regulations. If someone took a shit on the floor next to me, I would just accept it and say "oh is this something you need" no problem. I do have some issues with allergies but that's about all. While in my experience everyone I live with are off the rails with everything has to be done in a very specific way and these are the detailed exact ways to do it and this is how you cook and this is how you clean and this is how you get into the bed and this is how... and it's just nonstop. And all of it is "the way it has to be done" that Society taught them, and they have long rationalizations of why it's true, it's just them rationalizing it. And then when I explain to them that these don't have to be done that way they accuse me of rationalizing it 😂
  7. Some of the mods should carefully watch the video.

  8. High ambition and ADHD diagnosis?

    Cred replied to integration journey's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    @Carl-Richard No disagreement here. Yes your critique of my word choice is correct. People with ADHD are less able to find purpose in conformity, but this doesn't mean they don't care necessarily. It means they shouldn't care, but sometimes they actually double down out of insecurity and end up caring more than even neurotypicals to fit in as a form of overcompensation. You see this in people like Clavicular, Andrew Tate and Donald Trump for example who over compensate and therefore embody this caricature version of masculinity and capitalism. As I said I know this too well and I fell into this hole myself with my obsession with David Goggins and James Scholz.
  9. full kundalini awakening is when spirituality stop being fun and games. if you're pushing for this, make sure you know what you're getting yourself into. theres no going back and it can be extremely overwhelming if you are not prepared
  10. I've heard that many people mis-attribute kundalini awakening for electrical energy moving up the spine. It's a very rare phenomena which has become a buzz word. Most of what people experience is Zifa Gong. When energy moves through the body and meets resistance it causes spontaneous movements. These movements are interpreted in a lot of ways, but it is just energy pushing through blocked channels. It is advisable to spend many years developing the body to be able to act as a capacitor for divine energy, otherwise one can burn up and take on great illness.

  11. Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

    Damn. That Mt. Everest blog post was a good one. Bring it back!
  12. It's a tradeoff. If you're literally not willing to budge at all, then of course you cannot be in a relationship. It's just a question of what do you actually want. Also, consider if your standards are actually legitmate or just self-imposed absurdities. I could make a standard that no one I live with is allowed to breathe within five feet of me, and this would immediately ensure I just cut out 99.99% of people.
  13. If you're having spontaneous movements and they're not stopping see if you can have someone cup their hand and slap your Yao, all the fascial webbing that is on the lower region of the back. This can help disrupt spontaneous movements while in public or when not needed.
  14. The first few years were incredibly blissful. I meditated almost all day because it felt so good, but I was barely functional and neglected many things. Then, for a few years, it was very physical: many strange body movements, couldn't sit still, and slept terribly. After that, the energy calmed down and became more steady and for about a year, I had spontaneous awakenings almost daily, again not very functional, but ecstatic and beautiful. After that, it all kind of disappeared, and I felt like I had just imagined all of it. Over the next three to four years, it gradually became darker and darker, and it felt like I had lost everything until I was forced to let go of everything and surrender to the void. Since then, my mind has slowly become clearer and calmer, and a peaceful stillness pervades everything. I think the most important thing is to practice patience and trust the process. It took me a long time to learn that to some extent, and now I try to stay out of it as much as possible. For the longest time, I just wanted to reach the "end" of the process and be "done." That was probably the biggest "mistake." Accept what is and simply follow the path.
  15. No stay away from that shit. I got kundalini syndrome and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

  16. Funny video thread

    Cats are superior beings.
  17. Ok fair enough you make good points (and I'm adult enough to admit this to others) , but do you think you downplay the successes, contributions, and advantages of patriarchy? It must exist for a reason right? Exactly, so you agree with Warren that it's not a male issue but a class issue. It's difficult to blame men for societies problems when majority of men are suffering from the current system and by many metrics worse than women (like homelessness, mortality from violence and jobs, drugs use). Evil women exist also right? So if the ruling class were all women but still evil nothing in society would change. Only evil people rise to the top and the most evil people in the world happen to have penises. So what?
  18. I still think there's some resistance to acknowledging your experience as it is, but that's fine. Consider: Is that something you've just heard and then adopted as true?
  19. Yes. "Representing" is the key term here. Even if valid and accurate, that is what believing is about.
  20. That could be the case. Is it entirely accurate, though? What is thinking? What is emotion?
  21. This is the biggest step. We have reached reasoning. Something experts never thought this would be possible with LLMs without mayor change in architecture. What are the consequences.
  22. You're right in that it might not be possible to entirely transcend the tendency, but a lot of progress can be made in that direction. No need for enlightenment in order to discard beliefs, I don't think. It probably helps, though. Tons of practices promote belief-interchange as the path towards what's true. They just don't realize it. But yes, I get your point. Definitely. I see openness and attachment to one's beliefs as mutually exclusive, in a way. As for the question above, for example, we might live as if life were somehow fundamentally unfair. And we might think this is true. How could this belief be recognized for what it is? Something to look into. And look at the resistance that might come up as a result of this confrontation, too.
  23. Also, you could post on eco groups and forums, when you get your plans approved, and people will come help you build this. This would be cool as shit. I would if I'm available. Look up "thatching", "waddle and daub" "adobe"

  24. Trump as Jesus

    enchanted replied to Monster Energy's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events

    What did you think the J stood for in Donald J Trump?
  25. "Straw bales typically offer an insulation value of R-2 to R-3 per inch of thickness, " "Quebec, according to industry standards. Minimum requirements often fall around R-19, "4-inch log wall typically has an R-value between R-4 and R-5.6." ~7" straw
  26. I don’t agree that men and women have equal power in society. He downplays the advantages men have. They hold much more political power and wealth than women. All the issues he describes men suffering from are because of patriarchy. Patriarchy represses the humanity and wholeness of men so they will be submissive to it and maintain its structure, while at the same time giving men enough privilege to never question it. I also don’t agree that society treats men as uniquely disposable. In a patriarchy, everyone is disposable except the rich and the powerful. He also presents it as if a woman marrying a rich man is some kind of cheat code and a privilege men don’t have. Do you know how difficult it is to marry a rich man? Rich men usually marry women from rich families. Also, the average age of rich man is 60 years, which is neither relevant nor appealing to most younger women. Even if a poor woman marries a rich man, he is very likely to treat her poorly and cheat on her because he can. He knows she is financially dependent on him. Men complain about divorce and paying alimony because they lack accountability and basic care for their families, not because their families are irrationally angry at them due to feminism. If a man’s wife and children angry at him, it is probably because he is a jerk to them.
