@tatsumaru Why do you think you cannot express yourself as you wish at any moment?

Choose the books that really are interesting to you, use your time wisely, there are infinite things to do so just pick the ones that resonate the best.

Those can be tricky. You can call it a survival thing, so it depends on how afraid you are of dying, or giving up the old truths and understandings. If you don't give the old up, there is no space for the new. It's exhausting to operate on two softwares at the same time. If you are really confused and really brave, you can explore not-knowing, not-labeling, to which you get by un-knowing, un-labeling. It gets difficult for you when you label your true nature a state that you rest in, that is a state, therefore not permanent. Or even if you label it as literally anything else. Just rest, it's alright. When do your self-esteem / confidence issues appear?

You cannot fake the desire for something, be it girls or truth, just enjoy the moment, it can feel good if life is happening the way you think it should be

What specific patterns are you talking about?

Potential unicorn zone, we should capture it below 3 crazy

Hell yes, that was a really good interview, thanks!

Hello, do you Chrissy Hodges' youtube channel? She is an expert on pure OCD. I don't know about the situation in Southeast Asia, but have you told anyone already? It seems like you've come to the phase where you are not so ashamed of talking openly about your condition, which is great

I liked the book too, havent watched to movie you posted tho

Have you read his book about spiritual materialism?

@Hank Galaxy Brain Yes, I see what you mean. But also the money from your taxes contributes corruption in many countries.

Here is a podcast with a guy who became a cult leader at age 29, then realized his own bullshit after 9 years and quit. https://gregorydiehl.net/ucwg-005-willing-abandon-sacred-cows-age-leaving-jehovahs-witness-cult-family-38/

You might use it for your music right. XDDD

I am just curious, what would you use it for?

@Hank Galaxy Brain He has nice writing skills and his words seem reasonable, I am sure he is not perfect, idk about that thing with the money, haven't looked into it that much. Would you want to give the money of your business away through taxes? What is your experience with those people who help you do that?

If you think computer science classes are not meaningful to you, perhaps psychology would be even worse. Here is why I think that: I sat the AP psychology exam this year which is similar to the things you study in your 1st year of uni when you take psychology as one of your subjects. I took psych, because I didn't want to take a natural science by any means, probably because I like the social sciences teacher at my school a lot. However, the module I enjoyed the most was in fact the one about neuroscience. This might be for several reasons, but several of my classmates from the AP psych course reported the same thing. For me, it was because I only like certain parts of the other modules, like developmental psych and positive/humanistic psych, but the majority of the course was focused on things like sleep, measuring intelligence, perception, senses, history of psychology, which you will not use as a therapist mostly. You might say that being able to recommend a good sleep schedule to a client is necessary, but you can study that on your own without getting a degree in psychology, that would just be a waste of time. Perhaps a better investment of time would be in med school, so that you can become a psychiatrist afterwards, be more flexible and earn more money, a psychiatrist who has studied at med school doesn't need a psychology degree, at least not in my country. Perhaps in a couple of years, psychiatrist will be able to work with psychedelics too, so if that's something you resonate with, you might go for that. There are some ways to get into med school in a non-traditional way without taking bio chem at high school. But if that's not what you want to do, I recommend you develop the skill of being present with a person and listening focusingly without judging and thinking about your perspective or ideas. That would immediately make you more capable of helping than 99 % of people. You will need to get some experience to become good at this, but it won't take like a stupid amount of time like a university degree, plus it's enjoyable and more meaningful. This forum is a good way to start developing your skills of being able to provide good quality help, watch how others react to your advice, perhaps it sucks dick. Also what you can do is to take a course in psychotherapy, hypnosis, humanistic therapy, gestalt therapy or whatever you want to do. Keep practicing meditation/yoga/pranayamas to make sure you stay conscious and happy. Don't try to fix others' lives without fixing your own, just don't do that. You might easily mess up somebody's life. These courses will make you qualified to become a therapist. They cost money but I guess university cost money too in many places and probably more than a course. You could also do like med school + psychotherapy courses. My friend who is a therapist told me, that his psychology degree is basically useless, but the psychotherapy course provided a lot more value to him. Don't lose your sensitivity and high moral principles, there are people out there who really need help, you will need to really give up yourself to be good at this.

Guys check out his website and youtube channel, there is more gold there. https://gregorydiehl.net/podcast/

Yes exactly. You believe what someone else says. You believe concepts and labels about reality, it doesn't matter if they come out of Leo's mouth. Even if you use psychedelics to get more direct experience and then you start thinking about direct experience and calling it names, it is no use. Even if somebody could think of a „true“ thought or „correct thought“ or „absolutely moral“ thought, it wouldn't do anything for you, you could explore ideas like that, imaginations like that and get nowhere even after many years. Do you think you should know something in this moment? Maybe you actually should not realize „things“ now, because you aren't realizing any. Maybe there are no things to realize if you don't think that they are there. I don't know, try it for yourself, but don't trust language games.

I wonder how many radical islamists you would be able to find if you actually tried to find one, spoke to the people, rather than just hate on them. There are some very conscious muslims out there.

@Akemrelax Yes you are right

@Leo Gura That's so pretty :)) @Soulbass PIE from that recording sounds very much like some indo-aryan language, don't you think? It's interesting how some languages that are spoken each on one side of the globe can have similarities, for example the sentence I drink tea is in my native Czech Já piju čaj [yaa piyu chay] and in Hindi it is Main chaay peetee hai. You can see how the Hindi word main has similar root to the English me and the word čaj and chaay are almost the same and also the words piju and peetee have a similar root. There is definitely like a historical relationship with the Brits colonizing India and tea originally coming from India/China (in Chinese the word is also similar), but still soo interesting. @remember I think African languages also have some sort of connection with this. My friend is planning to go to Tanzania so she is learning Swahili. When we spoke about differences between Swahili and Hindi, we realized that the word for book is in Hindi kitaab and in Swahili it is kitabu. First I didnt know why these two languages have such a similar world, when they are so far away (on land). Then my Indian friend corrected me that India and Africa are very much interconnected, but then I had another look at the Wikipedia and I found that the word kitaab/kitabu is also in Urdu (language of Pakistan), Farsi, Turkish, Arabic and Somali, so actually even through land, there is a connection.

@Zeldor That's great that you are feeling stronger now @UDT Nice list, especially this

Do you feel any happier now that you are yellow?

@James123 Good work, just stay humble, always

@Member Just enjoy the tea for god's sake You don't need to think about drinking it.
