  1. well but then it still would be in the open. the problem about talking about openly is that anybody could just take it and run with it. @Charlotte so it’s a service for farmers? yeah i’d ask the farmers if and what they would pay for it. i‘m not sure if the questionnaire should contain a how, too. but if you are already doing it, ask all the questions you are interested in. it’s about finding out if there is a market for it, isn’t it? well it’s only relevant if you want to make a business out of it - if you won’t because of time and other issues sharing might be the only way of influence you have. a third option is to develope it until a certain degree and then sell it.
  2. @Truth Addict most of them don’t match - but i guess it‘s about standing in the way of oneself. so maybe i‘ll try to make a list like this for myself. for him i think the most problematic issues are: perfectionism, scepticism, lack of motivation, detachment, obsessiveness, lack of goals. he has a lot of desirable values, too. mhh maybe to a degree they would also fit into my list. i‘ll have to see first how that accounts for myself. thank you a lot! also these words are so plakative, they don’t really say much about what they are pointing to. for example detached from what?
  3. @Truth Addict that sounds like a good idea... i‘ll try. thank you! although it’s really not laziness its more a lack of being organized. it’s more distraction and getting nervous because when i‘m under stress my mind shows up with a lot of ideas what to think about. i‘d be happy if it would do that earlier on but it just doesn’t work that way. there is always something i missed or i could still squeeze in. i didn’t care for some time, 5 mins where not the world. it‘s really like being in a rollercoaster loop - i sometimes think i need the stress for me to work like i should. i get most creative under pressure. so maybe the whole issue runs deeper.
  4. @Charlotte he‘s jellous because the tree was such a big one, he might have never be hugged by such a big tree i‘m certainly jealous i still cry for one of my favourite trees, they just killed it. it always spoke to me. i don’t like you tree, and i don’t like you flowers, and i certainly don’t like you sun. what can i do if they like me so much?
  5. also i didn’t watch the duality episode yet fully, only half. and i started to read sat nam rasayan by guru dev sing and ambrosio espinosa. do i do to many things at the same time again? yes that’s why i’m always getting through only half ways. cookie dough still tastes good.
  6. so i realized once again, thanks to one of the threads, i did not have any killer or elbow instinct i’m the perfect victim for people who have, from their perspective. and i really don’t like attitudes of people who just take what they want without any scruple. usually if i meet people like that i just turn around and walk away. i’ve always avoided them. if they still slipped through my reliability and loyalty personality check it usually ended with pain and a clear cut from my side. but there are situations where i needed to work with people like that, it's uncomfortable and i try to avoid it. i’d even say i am arrogant towards them, i pity them without mercy. as if that would change them, but it surely changes my attitude towards them. i realize now that i have to be more aware to find new coaping mechanisms. but i can’t shut down being an open person with all of my childishness/naivety and i also don’t think i can always be alerted. usually these kind of people carry a red alarm light on their forehead anyways. but i guess i need some more techniques to coap with these kind of people. working up spiral dynamics for myself is so overdue.
  7. about the survival riddle: the question is what is better? to die trying staying human or to live on with the memory? if someone is enlightened he/she won’t choose the food option, even if it’s not for the sake of the other person, it’s impossible. we are talking about the real thing here. i‘m a little disappointed...
  8. @CreamCat the peter principle means that a challenge is not met because of incompetences due to overestimation of competence.
  9. that’s unthinkable.
  10. to quote @Zweistein here: i=you=we nothing wants to be seen, nothing wants to be loved, nothing wants to be separate.
  11. @Nahm thank you nahm, you are a great tea pot! ?
  12. your free will brought you the illusion. you can’t decide to be influenced but you can decide what will influence you. „you are it but you are not it“. (not sure who said that i guess @Nahm did, sounds so much like something nahm would say)
  13. understanding. try to sense it. open your third eye and sense what the field of contact is.
  14. @mandyjw there is no competition if there is co creation. there are only tensions. if people meet there is a field of contact.
  15. ultimately all thought is emotion because it’s moved through emotion. all emotion is moved through the relation of emotion to its content. who is the content that recives karma, who is the content that produces karma? why do people meet? it’s either to create karma or to resolve it.
  16. well in the experiment with the enlightened masters,of one female and one male, who would be more likely to eat the other? i wasn’t asking who maybe tastes or cooks better...
  17. the mantis does the same... are you afraid of the vagina dentata, hahaha.
  18. well first rule is, stick to what you would do! enlightenment is not about the enlightened master it is about mastering enlightenment. try to not disappoint yourself. thanks for the thought experiment!
  19. then one of them is not enlightened, as an enlightened being will likely don’t care to die, or rather die than kill another. love is not egoic if it is, it’s not enlightenment. but i guess an enlightened being will not die without a fight if attacked. there are levels of existential in survival and levels of fate. we can’t expect the world to be enlightened just because we have reached some higher states.
  20. @CreamCat in a way that sounds good. but don’t forget there is also the peter principle so you need to balance both, dunning-kruger and peter principle, because a concept and being the concept sometimes don’t need the concept to exist. so a little bit more dunning kruger on the micro level for your private everyday life experiments, but a little bit of macro knowledge so you don’t get stuck in the peter principle.
  21. yes, you are right! teaching social skills would be nice if we started at kindergarden, if it stops at school what do we expect? either we continue it right or we stop it all together.
  22. @Zigzag Idiot yeah in german it is the kakadu - children find that a little weird because kaka means shit in child’s language. so it is the kaka-do. or in german it would be the kaka-you. see it’s weird, reminds me of the bullshit video.
  23. @kieranperez super happy for you! don’t know what to say, tears in my eyes! if you can handle a boat you can handle everything you know? there is nothing much more close to deliver yourself to fate than sailing, except for lsd, maybe. just imagine how beautiful the stars will be! trusting in yourself i hope the sea will give you that!
  24. call it parradio. i exceptionally love the authenticity of the cacadu at 0:46
