Yeah, I knew that this one is good when it came up yesterday morning. Welcome aboard the ship of fools!

One of the best channels I stumbled upon on youtube that deals with topics related to self-development. It mostly covers philosophy, psychology and art and is a good introduction to spirituality from the humanistic approach.

@Truth Addict Mmmm, sorry for my projections. I guess I needed to spill my guts.

@Truth Addict We share a similar story. The difference is that I aced the schools with no competition till the day I graduated at the top of my class in the university. I know what it feels to have everything I need in the world and not having to earn it. I also know how it feels to be alone because I focus so deeply on what I'm interested in, that everything else ceases to exist. I can relate to your "genius laziness" a lot. Wherever I look, I understand the end result and see most of the things apart from consciousness work as a pointless treadmill. I rarely even think at work, I mostly meditate while doing the things I'm supposed to do. Helping people in my immediate surroundings and here on the forum is the best way I can utilize my time. I am very hopeful of integrating my green and expanding my life to include "spiritual people" because this forum is the only place I can almost go all out with people. So, I think that we share similar "demons" of having no problems in life. My solution to having no problems is to not fuck this up by having a restless mind that can't enjoy what it has. At least, for now.

Why so?

I swear, one day I will go through every single one of Nahm's 13'000 posts and understand him. There is more to him than just being all lovey-dovey and it vexes me. He's my guru and I can't admit it to myself lol.

@mandyjw Sigh...

@Truth Addict I think that you miss the core of what orange is. Orange is about learning to influence the external world successfully. It's about leveraging your mental capability to produce outcomes. It is not necessarily about being selfish. Selfishness arises in orange when a person leverages power to gain more power and that loop hoists the meaning-making process of the mind. It's a self-harming pathology. Blue's dogma is the cocoon from which the rational mind bursts out. Orange's selfishness is the cocoon from which green's empathy springs. Green's miasma of absolute relativity is the cocoon from which yellow's integration comes forth. We seem to be similar in that we're bordering yellow, but the difference lies in the stage were integrating. You are integrating orange while I'm integrating green. If you're really grounded in green then you shouldn't be too afraid of Orange's selfishness.

@Zigzag Idiot That's interesting. Would you mind sharing some techniques?

Thank you. I agree with your assessment of me. I enjoyed the fact that you've put your ass on the line for once. I would enjoy it even more if you made an honest assessment of yourself instead of pretending to be a clown. ♥️ Playing your projections out is the fastest way to learn them, even if it makes you a pain in the ass for others. In the long run, everybody benefits from it. I consider you to be green as well.

Prayer.

Fasting is how you meditate with your gut.

Sinking the mind in the breath: day #10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKWt6FPXyxI

Some questions can be answered by showing that they are nonsensical. Pointlessness is the domain beyond the ego. Wherever is a point, the ego is intertwined. If you talk about pointlessness, don't judge it from the egoic perspective and assign value to it. It's just ego running its own loops. If you inhabit pointlessness to the point where it's comfortable and it suddenly becomes pointful, there is nobody to attribute that change to. It is not your fault that the ego arises, because you weren't there when it appeared. The ego is non-originated. Even if it likes to attribute things to itself, it is not a cause of anything. It's so hollow that its eye sockets are empty to see its own emptiness. So, the answer to your problem is: stop mixing the levels. Relax into it until it flips by itself.

The fact that the truth is pointless, is pointless to truth.

There is such a depth to this question, that I'm not going to give you a simple answer. Thoughts appear, but there is no thinker.

@Aakash ?

The lowest level of nonduality is duality. It is also the highest because the path goes full-circle.

@Aakash That is because you are over-emphasizing the truth. The truth does not have to deal with anything, it is itself. It is your ego that cares. As I heal myself emotionally, this 'pointlessness', or rather 'directionlessness' becomes more similar to 'contentment', 'happiness', 'joy', 'bliss', 'love', 'ecstasy' and so on until it is simply silence. This is much more than I have ever hoped for.

CAPSLOCK INTINSIFIES

Do you still meditate?

Sinking the mind in the breath: day #9 The neck pain is getting better, it's a great practice to surrender to fear/pain while stretching it. When I strained it, I was really afraid of dying hahaha. This fear is literally what restrains my mobility. I'll have to experiment with it. Still no coffee, I'm not even missing it. The energy is through the roof. I wonder whether it leads to awakening or not. It is reminiscent of the shimmer. I just can't keep being silent, I wonder whether it's because of my diet, coffee, the forest walks, meditation?

For things to make sense, you need to be directly conscious of what the language points to. You also have to be directly conscious of what consciousness is. You asked how 1+1=2 is relative and I answered. It is relative regardless of how you twist it. Your very twisting is the proof that 1+1=2 is relative.

It's not irony. It's just that people of power here derive pleasure from pissing on people few steps behind them. Disgusting.
