Yeah it pretty much all starts with you. The reason for that is that people don't give a shit about what you tell them. They are moved by the way you are not by what you preach. If you breath life they will notice no matter what you do. Joy brings joy, be joyful.

Nice label I like the sound of it. Very rhythmical

Gather the beauty around you. Nature, museums, live music, seeing people you love. Those are all great. Learning something new is super powerful especially if it is in your domain. For exemple: as a musicien(I don't know you medium but it doesn't matter) you might just want to learn a piece of music you love. Learning what every instruments do, asking yourself why you love that, what is it about this perticular moment that gives you chill? Or whatever. Do that for whatever medium you are working with.

Honesty, honesty, honesty If you're honest with yourself and others you instantaneously remove the need to prove anything, to remember lies you told, to act a certain way, and you can look at what you are as just that: what you are. Look at honesty as boosting your freedom to insane levels even though nothing external as to change(which doesn't mean it can't.) Even the notion of being confident flies out the window. An honest being does not need to care about being confident he just lets life unfold before him in the most authentic way. It comes across as being confident to others but really it's not. Your honest self holds no fear. Now let me ask you why aren't you confident right now? What do you fear? Doesn't mean you go do or say whatever you want if it is going to hurt people. Be smarter than that. But most important: be honest. High five ✋there we go. You can do it?

@Truth Addict What do you mean by "matter"?

@Truth Addict What is matter but an idea? We already discarded ideas. Same thing goes for the senses. Can you point to your senses?

@Truth Addict Existence itself doesn't require ideas or abstraction. But then who is pointing what? Existence is self-evident I guess?

Nothing is "necessary" What do you actually want? Do you want to live in a world where nobody gives a fuck about anybody else and where the bigger the gun the better? Or do you want to share and explore this mysterious thing called life with your fellow humans and beyond? I'd much prefer the latter. It's a choice Of course we are far from that ideal scenario so morality as its place. But as a so called "spiritual seeker" you might want to strive for transcendence of such idea. Depends where you are at. Only you can judge. Honesty goes a long way.

It itself is believed. It is an idea, an assomption. Even that is false because it assumes that it is something other than what is - that is : an Idea. I cannot point to it as I hold it as a gross abstraction of what is. In the same way that I can't stick out my finger and point to science, religion, politics, time, history, racisme and so on. I can put the boundary wherever I want and pretend like it holds up but it is still going to be a gross abstraction and highly dependant on my interpretations and projections.

Mastery is whole domain of mastery in itself!

Heard sadhguru talk about that and how you can cut down your sleep quota to 3-4h a day with proper management of the body/mind What do you guys think of this?

An attempt of the mind to try and ground reality. How could I? As soon as I recognize what they are they are no longer held as beliefs. Before that I don't know that I hold them.

Beliefs are what they are

Recognize what they are

You need to work out your upper back. Take an elastic. With your hands facing down and holding the elastic, position your forearms so that they are parallel to the ground and perpendicular to your torso. Gently use your shoulder blade muscles so that they come together. Make sure that you're using the muscles in your back not your shoulders. Hold that for as long as you can. Repeat. You can develop the habit of stretching your neck from side to side throughout the day.

You'd be amazed at how little food you actually need. Once you clean up your metabolism your body becomes a lot more efficient. Prioritize fresh organic vegetables and then add potatoes, beans and nuts. Fruits are also great. The more alive the food the better. If you're up to it maybe try intermittent fasting.

That's a great idea! I doubt food companies will share my feelings about it thought.

"This is a paradigm vegans get trapped in, loss sight of the nutrients of food and see only the stories they tell themselves about them" @integral This is half true. Counting nutrients is a nice start but the process is much more intuitive than that.

Don't try to do that. Just be what you truly are. That's it. When egos are lashing out and there's no one to mirror that back it confuses them.

Get the very basics down : Food, exercise, meditation. Then find what you were born to be doing: your Purpose/Passion/Deepest Love and align every facet of your life to it. Sit down and seriously consider everything you could be doing with your life. Choose what produces the most love when you picture it in your mind. That might get you started but remember that everything you read on here is a nice and shiny pill of bullshit. As long as you cultivate that thirst for awareness and truth, and you keep walking, everything will eventually click. But don't cling to it.

Who is aware? Ask that for many hours and pay close attention

B12 is the result of becterial activity in the soil and given how we grow and clean our food you might want to take a supplement

@pluto not really I kinda did that instinctively. It was a bit of an epiphany for me. But it sure is interesting

You can delay your first meal to noon time if it is the prep time that is bothering you. Way better to spend the morning on an empty stomach and eat a nice healthy meal for lunch then stuffing yourself with garbage as soon as you wake up. Your first meal is really important but the moment you eat it doesn't matter as much in my experience.

I don't know about your situation but for me they seemed to be growing at a wrong angle and I thought that they might have to remove it. I didn't do it and in a couple months they were as straight as all the others. Check with yourself but it's not because your dentist says that you need to have them removed that it is the case.
