I’m struggling to put my thoughts together about RFK Jr. and how to be actually holistically fair when judging politicians beyonds their politics ( I'm aware this is not very pragmatic and potentially naive). Honestly, thinking about politics feels like a waste of time for me at this stage of life, so here’s a raw take polished by ChatGPT: Some context: RFK Jr. is 70 years old—he’s at the tail end of his life. He’s not a highly developed person, psychologically or morally. He’s not particularly wise, but at least his intentions seem okay. He’s no saint, martyr, or even an above-average person. He’s just an average Joe—and even calling him “average” might be too kind. To be real, we’re talking about an old crusty dude in politics. And let’s face it: politics attracts a certain type of person—power-hungry people. That’s just the reality of the field. You don’t get into politics without some hunger for power. (Leo made a great post recently about this.) Expecting someone like RFK Jr. to have the emotional and cognitive rigor, the wisdom, and the moral strength to resist the path of least resistance of endorsing MAGA and joining Trump’s administration is just asking too much. He's definitely not a hollistic systems thinker. He’s not going to sit around thinking about the long-term wellbeing of society decades after he’s gone. That’s unrealistic. He's full of selfish BS as most of us are. We paint our selfish survival games in a light of someting noble to feel better about ourselves and about what we do. It's just chimp survival games in the end. We’re being unfair to him by judging him with such a big-picture, holistic perspective. RFK Jr. is just another chimp—like most of humanity. Holding him to some high standard of decency is a very tall order, especially for someone in his position. The reality is, this old crusty average Joe rationalized and deceived himself into thinking that joining and endorsing MAGA was a good idea. He probably thought, “This is my chance to get my foot in the door and do something positive.” To avoid cognitive dissonance or guilt, he backward-rationalized that MAGA isn’t so bad after all. His positions on vaccines—and probably other things—are completely bonkers. And yes, it’s absurd that he thinks he can achieve anything significant under Trump’s administration. Nothing will get done. In fact, things will probably get worse. But from his perspective, it made sense. Is he the absolute worst option? Sure, RFK Jr. is a damn bad pick when you look at the big picture. His ideas aren’t great, and his “good intentions” are questionable. But compared to some of the absolutely batshit people who could be in charge of the health department, he’s not the worst. At least his intention isn’t entirely terrible in contrast to how corrupt or malicious someone else might be. This situation is what you’d expect from someone of his character and circumstances. He’s at the end of his life, power-hungry ( understandable) , working in a field dominated by power-hungry people, and lacks the wisdom, foresight or maturity to understand the broader consequences of his actions. If you were in his shoes—70 years old, with limited time left, and a chance to play a game you find meanigful—what would you do? Would you have the drive and integrity to go solo, reject the path of least resistance of sideing with MAGA and backwards-rationalizing your behavior? It’s easy to say you’d resist, but most people wouldn’t. Conclusion: Analyzing RFK Jr. too holistically or from a big-picture perspective and holding him to an above average standard feels unfair. He’s not some saint or moral crusader. He’s a pertty flawed, naive old man who rationalized his way into believing he could do something good or entretaining or self-serving before he dies. Sure, we can see through the delusion and recognize the harm his actions cause, but expecting him to act like some highly developed, morally superior person is unreasonable. In the end, he’s just a old crusty average joe guy in politics doing what he thinks is right, even if it’s deeply flawed. That being said, who endorses Trump and MAGA is a good litmus test for integrity, but for cognitive and moral development its quite a low bar. Most people are selfish and self deceived so its not that hard to fall for MAGA. About RFK being oportunisting and sideing with trump, I dont know if that litmus test is 100% accurrate ( hear me out -- half baked analogy) A guy could be absolutely straight, not attracted to men at all whatsoever. 100% straight. If hes offered 5 million for sleeping with a guy and he accepts, does that mean that his true colors had allways been homo ( or bi ) ? Or that he's being oportunistic and doesn't value his integrity that high and has other priorities whether conscious or subconscious? An is it really that surprising that afterwards he rationalizeds to himself how this actually is good and fits with his character and values? Just food for thought on how to poke sideing with MAGA as a litmus test ( its an ccurrate judgement of character 99'99% of the times IMO)

I totally forgot about this thread. I've been doing coaching since April this year. I don't really have formal coaching experience . I went through a free formation that although pretty solid, didn't provide me with much new knowledge on either the process of coaching or marketing/ sales. It seems that consuming around 2000 hours of Leo's content, all of RSD's material ( and much more ) and close to 10k hours of personal development content has given me enough insight into psychology, epistemology , human behavior, emotions, self-esteem, attraction, personal development and spirituallity to provide serious value to people . You may say I've been pretty stupid because I always held off from doing this because I'm deeply aware that there is so much that I don't know. What sent me over the edge was observing how people like Andrew Tate, Llados, JP, etc, get away with so much blatant BS and here I am worrying about not having absolute knowledge of everything lol. The truth is that as long as I'm 3-5 steps further than someone I can help them out a lot, and in terms of psychology call me arrogant but I bring s lot of value to people. My marketing is as simple as it gets atm : personal references, client refers or posting my AD message on local WhatsApp groups where I'm friends with the owner, offering 3 free coaching sessions for self esteem, self-understanding and social skills ( I focus mainly on men, but I've provided huge value to women explaining how emotions and beliefs work.) I've often heard that my few free sessions had been more helpful than years of therapy, which I'm happy to hear because initially I was self conscious about not having formal experience, but therapy is not what I want to focus on. I find it boring and I'm not that passionate about it, although I do get goosebumps when my clients get a big ah-ha moment. I mean I'll help them with their emotions and limiting beliefs if we stumble upon eachother but I don't look forwards that kind of people. Also I need to give lots of disclaimers that this is not professional psychological help to keep myself off potential legal issues if I someone's unstable and decides to blame me for whatever he comes up with. I love teaching social dynamics in person. Online is not that exciting. It's much more entertaining and intense, and way more transformative than speaking about these concepts online. It's 10 times more transformative in person ,to say the least. In terms of sales, I don't do anything. It's as simple as it gets. I do the 3 free coaching calls to help people with some of their struggles, I showcase my skills and then people themselves ask to work with me . I charge 1000€ for 4 coaching calls and 2500€ for 12 calls. ( One call per week). Payment plans are okay. What makes it a no brainer is that I offer a 100% money back guarantee. I take the risk for the client and it pressures me to perform and care about doing my job well Initially I had limiting beliefs to even saying these numbers, but actually this money is peanuts. People charge way more for dumb sh1t and people waste way more money on absolute garbage . If I like the person and they really really can't afford it I'll do it for free Taxes are sh1t in Spain. You don't charge VAT for clients outside of EU, but you have to add 21% to European clients. Income tax is 0% until first 12k /yr ( you still need to file and send the tax money but it's later returned the next year...) and 45% above 60k per yr. That tax amount is ridiculous. The only way is to charge more and work more... And I'm not to keen on that I may have around 200 hours of coaching experience by now if not more. I've worked with around 15 people and I'm really no trying that hard. I feel a little guilty for not helping more people but I'm working on deepening my own ambition and developing more work ethic to scale how much I help others, as I currently struggle with chronic fatigue ( see heavy metal detox journal ) Wtf have I been doing working as a waiter for 6 years for 10€ per hour? Absolute bonkers. I'm looking forward to doing more but also there is a lot of resistance to being disciplined. I have scheduled a few LSD trips to work on introspecting and releasing some of these unconscious barriers, if that's even possible

Super quick post to get the ball rolling. I have come to the conclusion through getting coached myself that a public written acountability journal is one of the most effective methods for me to be more productive and hold myself accountable. Got a coaching call with a client in 50 minutes, its our third call out of three free calls and I'm ideally looking to sell her a 3 month program for 3k€, but most likely it will be way less and I'll adapt it on the fly.

I remember a video of RFK jr telling people to vote trump so that he can fight corrupt food industry big shots lmao

It's the things I've been wrong about episode I believe

https://www.decart.ai/articles/oasis-interactive-ai-video-game-model Dip your toes in the astral realm physics yourself! Press " try oasis"

If you haven't heard about it yet, this is called Oasis: An Universe in a Transformer. This is not Minecraft and it doesn't have it's game files. Oasis is an AI-driven game inspired by Minecraft, built entirely from gameplay footage instead of using original game files. It uses next-frame prediction to generate the gameplay real-time. I've been practicing Astral Projection for the last few months and I'm keeping a journal in the journaling sub-forum -- I stumbled upon this cool technology looking for examples of non euclidean geometry to explain some of the nature of the Astral dimension, and I'm more than satisfied with this example. It's a pretty accurate example, but the Astral realm can be way more coherent and way less coherent . What's accurate here is that turning around into what was previously hidden from your visual field of view can generate a new world -- turning around 360° doesn't guarantee you will be back at your starting point. Also looking at something for long enough can morph it into something else in front of your very eyes. If you close or open your eyes you can teleport into new places. If you want to walk through a wall and it doesn't work, that doesn't mean that it won't work if you do it again Link of the journal if anyone wants to try to do it themselves. I shared some simple but effective content

Found a perfect example for this. The Astral realm has a degree of this, although there is some permanence.

I have decided to start documenting my process of experimenting with out-of-body experiences (OBEs). I’m not sure if I have a predisposition for this, but it just seems to make sense for me. I have no specific expectations or goals besides experimentation and curiosity. I might consider it a distraction from building a solid foundation for my life, but on the other hand, it’s an intriguing and unconventional activity to explore during sleep time, as long as it doesn’t interfere with getting enough rest. My first OBE was described in this old thread: I was inspired by the video below, recently being recommended in my feed after listening to that Anika/Tristan Interview on New Thinking allowed. In my opinion, these seminar videos could be much shorter; there is a lot of repetition. However, I must say that the guidelines provided are effective. I learned things I wasn’t clear on before. Literally an hour after watching this video, I had an OBE that same night, just after the first cycle of REM sleep. I didn’t realize I could enter " the phase " immediately upon waking. I had always tried to do so as I was falling asleep, which seems to be the more challenging “direct method.” From my experience, you can enter "the phase" in three ways: Catch yourself as you’re falling asleep and use subtle body separation techniques (direct method) such as rolling out, levitating, falling through the floor, or doing a crunch. Use separation techniques as soon as you wake up (easier, indirect method). Realize you’re dreaming mid-dream, gain control, and achieve your specific goals for the session. Techniques like reality checks, such as trying to poke through the palm of your hand with your finger, can help you realize you’re dreaming and gain control of the dream. The video below explains that you have about one minute to cycle through various techniques before the window fades, and you’ll have to wait for your next REM sleep cycle. OBE Report 07/09/24 My consciousness wakes up shortly after falling asleep ( 90 min of sleep ). I don't move a single muscle and realize it’s the moment to try body separation techniques. The first technique, rolling out to the side, works immediately. I had to push with my intent a little, reinforcing the thought of "yes, I want this to happen." I feel the usual turbulences, shaking, vibrations, and buzzing noise. I immediately stand up. My motor skills are uncoordinated, and I stumble a lot. Everything is pitch black; my physical sensations have transferred to my subtle body, but my sight hasn’t. I touch the walls as I stumble towards my bathroom mirror (the first mandatory goal for newbies once in the phase). I touch the mirror frame. It’s cold, and it’s still pitch black. I stumble towards my desk to complete my second task (eating something and tasting it). I didn’t have food prepared at that moment, so I just grabbed my zeolite nanoparticle spray and did a couple of sprays into my mouth. Of course, it didn’t taste like anything, but I did feel the moisture and spray noise. I now have a tube of honey at my desk for the next try. I didn't have a third goal, I didn't see anything and I lost consciousness and woke up IRL. Funny thing is, I had woken up in my astral body 180º opposite on the head-to-toe axis, which is how I usually lie in bed. This time, I was reversed but still woke up in the default way. Lessons Learned: Clumsiness, sluggishness, and poor motor skills are signs of a bad separation technique. Only partial separation occurred. I’m not sure how much of this is within my control or if it’s sometimes unavoidable. Wake up the vision: I need to imagine my hands very close to my eyes, make rubbing or clapping noises, and feel them right there while imagining them into existence. If the vision wakes up but is blurry, I should scrutinize and focus on the details of my surroundings to deepen and sharpen the phase. Have a third goal after the mirror and getting food. For now, let’s just say I want to fly in my garden or access some subconscious information as suggested in the video.

Big progress was made today. And I say today and not tonight because It happened in the morning after i had been awake for hours. I had 4 out of body experiences in a row, in a time span of about of an hour and a half , all on the way INTO sleep instead of coming out of sleep like I have usually done. WOAH! These have been the most vivid and realistic yet. I've learned and enjoyed so much ! I woke up around 7:30 AM and did house chores. 9 AM came and I felt a little tired and decided to lay down in bed, without the intention of falling asleep. I put on my overhead earplugs and eye mask. I was having a pretty clear mind and could imagine and think pretty clearly for my standard, so the intention was to enjoy that as I lay in bed. As I was thinking with my eyes closed, I was imagining and seeing things more and more vividly and what usually are just simple short thoughts and mental pictures, started becoming a burst of multiple Microsleep's. AND IT WAS IN ONE OF THOSE BRIEF MOMENTARY MICROSLEEP bursts that I realized that I was not in the " real physical world" but I was in an Imaginary world " , I inmediately became lucid and took controll over my body - Comment : It's absolutely essential to have a couple of goals when you get in the phase, or otherwise you will get lost in random stuff and lose consciousness and fall asleep. You must remain intentful and on the go. What naturally comes to me is my desire to interact with girls, which is very rewarding and authentic for me at this point. OBE #1 - I appeared into a house party at late night. There was a lot of people. I saw a girl I know from sight. She's extremely cute. I grabbed her by the hand, pulled her into me, looked her into her eyes and smiled. She gave me the biggest anime eyes and smiled back. I didn't want to rush having sex this time. I wanted to explore the interaction and realm more. By now I know having sex is prone to getting me out the phase because it's such a strong experience. I took off her top and we made out a lot. It felt very realistic both in feeling and sight. Something that's obvious but not so obvious is that for sex to happen I need to get hard, otherwise we are just grinding on eachother, so of course it won't happen until I'm excited. I didn't think it mattered in that realm but it does. There was a different girl close to us but she was with a guy. I reached out with my hand regardless and she smiled but she didn't join us. I'll try that one next time. We walked around the house and we walked towards a dark room. I told her I cant go there or I will dissapear. We turned around. She left me for a second. I said that if she wants to leave she's free to go. She said she doesn't want to leave me as she went to the turntable to put in a new CD. As I turned my back again to see her everything went black and I " woke up " A big insight I've had is that geometry is non-euclidean in that realm.If you look forward at a wall. Turn around 360 degrees and look again at the same wall, It won't neccesary be the same again. You can create a new reallity as the edges of your vision go into nothingness ( you may have a field of view of 200º horizontally at a time and 100º vertically , so you dont capture a full 360 of everything at once, therefore there are blind spots. as you look away and into these blindspots, a new reallity can generate ) Another take away is that consistency is not as consistent as in the physical world. If you try to go trhough a wall or a window, and it doesnt work the first time, it doesn't mean that if you try again it won't work. That one was mindblowing. It was just an assumption I was carrying from the " real world ". OBE#2 happened right after the first one. As I woke up, Inmediately tried to roll out of my body. I was in my room. It was very dim and dark. Darkness makes me get kicked out so I set the intention of making it bright as I touched and palpaped my body to make sensations more vivid. It worked. I wanted to get out of my room through my window. The mosquito net didnt let me ( again ) . I tried again. Nothing. I tried again, this time I went through! Haha! What a funny logic. I was in my garden and I started flying. Initially I knew the area ( my neighbourhood ) but eventually everything was different ( non-euclidean geometry was sick here ). I jumped on top of my house, and on the other side was a 300 meter fall down!!!! I was scared but I jumped anyways. If I didn't manage to calm myself down I'd get kicked out. I started fluing at a speed of 200km/h or so. It was amazing. I could see everything and feel the cold wind through my body. I was flying around the town looking for a woman but all the houses were empty. I realized I need to consistently check for my entire body . Sometimes I get kicked out for aparently no reason but that this time as I was flying 200km/h, I looked down and my legs were tied up in a pretzel. OFC! I had just jumped from 300 meters high lol. It was okay until I had noticed it. So making sure my entire " suble body " is doing fine is important I guess OBE #3 was more of a dream didn't go entirely lucid. I exit my body but sort of lost consciousness and was just going on autopilot. I was fighting a skunk that was running around my room with a shovel. I accidentally picked it up with it, flipped it into the air and it landed on me. that " woke me up ". There was one more, but I dont remember right now. These memories sometimes fade if you dont write them down inmediately, and later throughout the day they hit you out of nowhere. I want to try to astral project inside the astral projection. I forgot to try that. Or as I feel I'm fading out, close my eyes and try to teleport somewhere. Or Imagining that protective bubble I was talking about , or " rooting down " or holding onto objects . I want to try again. I'll keep y'all updated.

Create your own matrix forum where AI cosplays as all users, randomly posting and interacting with you and each other throughout the day, just in the way you'd enjoy. Maybe that's already been the case all along, but we're just doing a bad job at it 😉

I can confirm closing my eyes works for walking through " physical objects" and / or teleportation. Tonight as I rolled out of my body I wanted to try to see if I could use a mirror as a portal to teleport out of my room. I ran and smashed myself into it lol. I tried again with closed eyes and I teleported into a new reality. I set my internet to teleport in front of a specific woman and it worked ! -- it wasn't that person though Astral sex is sorta addicting but a real motivation to keep up this practice, so I guess I'll need to burn through that karma as this is sort of distraction myself from further exploration of the Astral realm

Plot twist : it was the jeweler that scammed you

I wanted to revive this thread since Leo announced an episode on Theft. Theft is a spectrum and had different degrees and kinds. I recently was thinking about how for example, mosquitoes only steal a little amount of blood -- which seems to be effective as their survival strategy. Evolution concluded that that's the most effective survival strategy thus far. They steal just enough not to be big enough of threat -- a minor inconvenience , so that you don't focus on them that much . There is a kind of theft that operates in a sweet spot , which can persist without little reaction , until it reaches a tipping point.

Post-modernist defending his case in court

@Quest It seems that you would benefit from re-visiting the Life Purpose Course. Your main concern seems to be a lack of meaningful work, with income being a secondary issue. Let me know if that sounds right. If so, the task would be to describe what meaningful work would look like for you. If you find yourself at a crossroads, but you know your top strengths, top values, most meaningful impact, zone of genius, preferred medium, and domain of mastery, making the right long-term choices shouldn’t be an issue. You can simply filter the decision you're considering through these criteria and see how aligned everything is for you. These things may naturally change and evolve over time as you gain more real-life experience. You may not snipe the perfect move right away, but you will know that you are at least moving in the right trajectory. Do you see yourself coding long term, or would it make you miserable? If not, what would increase your income but be more aligned with your Life Purpose, at least in the long term? What are your current conclusions about your Life Purpose?
