@JessiChell Refer your questions to my bald headed friend @Leo Gura I’m in no way qualified to answer them, and this shits for you to figure out sister godbless

@JessiChell You’ll still be hurt when a relationship fails or someone you trust betrays you I don’t think that being conscious is necessarily about the avoidance of pain, although that’s part of it I think what being conscious really is about is helping you when you are in pain or when you have been hurt, and to help you avoid being hurt in the first place I don’t think you’re ever going to transcend suffering unless you’re the Buddha, even Jesus Christ was hurt by things he couldn’t control What matters is how you deal with that, and the more conscious you are the better you’ll be able to

@StarStruck Hey buddy, I did a post on this linked here if you’re interested When I journal I do it on my phone mostly, in a common place book, with an app called OneNote. When I want to polish my OneNote yo I use my computer (currently broken and I can’t get it fixed with covid). “Physically writing out your journal entries activates your brain more and leads to greater beneficial effects for behaviour change.” So if you’re interested in journaling that seems like a good idea, but I feel it would be a pain in the ass. And you can’t link articles, or quotes, images, videos, podcasts, studies etc... with a physical journal so that’s a downside. As @Lyubov mentions Affirmations are good, though I think there is no need for a journal necessarily for this, I find affirmation better to be said in front of a mirror as though they are a mantra so they really sink deep into your fucking head Writing what your grateful about is a good way to appreciate life more, and the things you have Setting goals are good / visualisations etc... ”Honest feelings journal” - is good, what I do is I have a topic or question than I either do long form writing to that who immediately appears in my mind. Or sit down and record myself talking via voice memos and play it back and distill and writes about the best bits. That coupled with marijuana I find to be where I do most of my introspection. There’s no need to over complicate the process of journaling, just keep it simple and intuitive.

Exactamundo Your thoughts don’t just one day magically end

@JessiChell Why, if you love yourself would you allow someone to hurt you?

@JessiChell Consciousness will do the opposite from hurting you. No conscious person willingly hurts themselves or others. I haven’t read the untethered soul, but reading the synopsis “You'll discover what you can do to put an end to the habitual thoughts and emotions that limit your consciousness. By tapping into traditions of meditation and mindfulness, author and spiritual teacher Michael A. Singer shows how the development of consciousness can enable us all to dwell in the present moment and let go of painful thoughts and memories that keep us from achieving happiness and self-realization.” It right there in the summary, being conscious it letting go of that which keeps you from achieving happiness. That’s a lot of what being conscious it about. So I would say stop worrying about being “too” conscious, that’s like saying is it dangerous to have to well of a functioning immune system, relax a little. When in a relationship, being conscious and mindful will help you have a functioning healthy relationship based on mutual love and respect, as you won’t allow yourself to be treated badly and you’ll know when you are being treated badly. Your thoughts don’t ever stop. So don’t try to forget about red flags. Keep them in mind, and enforce your boundaries and don’t let people hurt or take advantage of you, consciousness will help with that not hurt you.

@Leo Gura Going back through this thread, and I’m still having this issue, if your reading this Leo I remember you mentioning in one of your recent videos, I think the one on open mindedness. That the reason we are closed minded is fear, fear based on our survival, and as an example you mentioned sanity e.g. The reason we don’t question the established norm of what is “sanity” is because if you do, you could become insane. If anyone hasn’t watched that video go and watch it, it’s a good one. The idea that sanity is just an abstract socially enforced norm and not something actually “real” (what is real?) is a fucking warped thought. Because it really does give you the ultimate form of carte blaunche. The issue I’m having and the reason I made this post back in March is because I do have these occasional and creepy experiences where I feel as though the universe (god maybe?) is trying to tell me something, and then my paranoia kicks, like the thought that maybe this is schizophrenia etc... and when you mentioned breadcrumbs in your video I thought perhaps you were accurately explaining what is happening to me I.e breadcrumbs. Reading more about this phenomenon, I think anyone can tune into these channels of consciousness. God is always there right next to you. You just need to take a few minutes of your time and get out of whatever the perception of reality you’ve become accustomed to is. If you get out of these conditioned patterns you see the world completely differently, and in a strange way, the world begins to live and breath and you see that’s it’s trying to communicate something to you. What I was reading about this is an interesting exercise to help you induce this state is too go to a crowded area (can’t really do that currently with corona virus) and you put yourself in an intentionally paranoid state. Not fear, but a state where everything that is happening around you is the universe trying to communicate something to you, so every single thing that happens around you is the universe trying to deliver you a message, and answering whatever your questions are, and because our minds don’t only consist of the conscious but also the subconscious you will begin to project and perceive your subconscious in the workings of the world around you, your subconscious will reflect its self back on to you. You don’t have to do this exercise in a crowded area, it’s just better to do it there because it’s more eventful, so there are more things you can project onto but you could do it in your room. But it’s that state, a particularly intense form of it that just keeps popping up in my life, it’s actually pretty similar to a panic attack just with less panic and more crazy,if that makes any sense, and I want to know what that state is. So what I was asking when I first made this post is the information coming from you or from the world or is there even really a separation of the two. I think I understand what you mean when you say go to insanity and beyond, but how do I know I’m going in the right dorection Hope this made sense, thanks for reading

Hello @Leo Gura - I see you're online and was hoping you can answer a question I been coming back to your latest video and at the 22 minute mark you mention breadcrumbs - Which is timestamped for convenience I was hoping you can illuminate what you mean by the breadcrumbs? How do you know what is a breadcrumb or what is delusion - or are the delusion the breadcrumbs? I think I've had similar experiences that you've had That have been brought about psychedelics and other states of mind If you could answer it, it would be greatly appreciated Or if anyone else can help explain what these experiences are Is it just serendipity or some form of divine intervention Thank you for your responses Godspeed

Sorry for the late reply, this is the first time Ive seen this and I thought as I was going back through the thread that I should respond to it No I don’t think it’s a contradiction, back in late April I was reading a book called Mastery by Robert Greene, listening to his appearance on JRE (I saved a time stamp to my OneNote on this exact topic linked here around the 1 hour and 20 minute mark) linked here If you listen to where I timestamped for five odd minutes you’ll see what Robert talks about is how he found out what he loves doing (which is writing) is through a process of deduction. By figuring out the things he didn’t enjoy doing and the person he didn’t want to be and adjusting. You can have a vague picture of what you want and who you want to be, but you lack any certainty without life experience, and the best teacher is pain (I believe) to tell you what you want. Not just blindly following what you’re told is success, it seems to me that’s something unique to people as individuals. I get the point you make about all the different dreams you have, but how can you know what you want with out pursuing each different path and finding that out for yourself.

@Dorotheus Okay noted, The gay science, I’m probably going to read ecce homo first though But reading the wiki page, it does say that The Gay science was “published after the completion of Thus Spoke Zarathustra and Beyond Good and Evil, in 1887“, so it might follow better from what I’ve read

@Bazooka Jesus Based and redpilled is an internet meme to agree with and praise something, that “particularly something controversial“. I was joking, because I know Wagner I was a giant anti Semite The Birth of Tragedy was the next book on my Nietzsche reading list, but I prefer the idea of reading Ecce Homo first, after reading the wiki page

@Bazooka Jesus Okay thanks for the recommendation, I just read the wiki page on it and it’s look as though it’s a good summary of all his work Nah I’m not into classical music but I do know who Wagner is Thanks for recommending Wagner Based and Redpilled

@Dorotheus Hey Dorotheus, about 2 months ago I read Beyond Good and Evil, and just bout a week ago I finished reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra What book is Nietzsche should I read next? Im interested in reading more of his work and don’t now where to continue cheers @Bazooka Jesus I agree I didn’t really get much from Zarathustra, if I’m right I think Nietzsche really wrote Beyond Good and Evil as an addendum and as clarification for Thus Spoke Xarathustra

@Franz Ferdinand II “ To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering” - Nietzsche To do that, to fully embrace life, one must love fate. Love of fate = amor fati Accept whatever state you find yourself in, change what you can, if you can, and accept what you can't. Learn to exercise the will to change what you can, and embrace the pain associated with that for as Nietzsche said, it will only make you stronger. That’s what being human is all about. “There is nothing good nor bad but the mind makes it so. “ - Shakespeare “Don’t demand that things happen as you wish, but wish that they happen as they do, and you will go on well” @tenta This reminded me, I responded to this post linked here talking about that quote, looking at the quote in more detail, it seems to me Nietzsche misinterpreted what Stoics mean when they say one should live in accordance with nature, I don’t believe a Stoic and an existentialist philosophy are mutual exclusive, I actually think existentialism is the taking of stoicism to an extreme

@Eren Eeager Something along the lines of “why have you abandoned me father”, I don’t know it verbatim

@Eren Eeager Why all that “O father why did you leave me?” shit then?

I think what separates people like Dawkins from people like Sheldrake really is whether you’ve had any psychedelic experience. Because it’s proves to you that’s there is more to life than what we can abstract and construct logically. I know before I started using LSD and ketamine etc... that my worldview was very rigid. I was a very atheistic person and loved people like Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris etc... But after I used these drugs I couldn’t help but be more open minded because it proved to me on a physiological level that there is more to life than just atoms in a void. What I don’t get is why people like Dawkins are so hesitant to try these substances. Because all it one take is one experience and they’d have a new perspective on reality. I think on a subconscious level they know that they’re bullshiters or they would just take one of these drugs and prove us all wrong. It’s not like these drugs melt your mind irreversibly, the propaganda now has been disproven. All they have to do is take 8 hours out of their day and see it for themselves. Then maybe they’d stop worrying so much about their own mortality.

@High-valance Man I would love to see that interview, Rupert should of signed the release

@Roy It's funny how Ted claim to be open to ideas and non conventional dialogue, and then proceed when someone ever broaches questioning materialism to are censor, it's gross stuff Probably my favourite Ted talk that also happens to be banned is also questioning materialism by Graham Hancock. linked here with timestamp to the point, I highly recommend watching the whole video, the other video is a video by Leo on Why Brains Don't Exist that links to the point The points this (here's the quote from the video) "The brain generates consciousness the way a generator makes electricity, if you hold to that paradigm then of course you can't believe in life after death when the generators broken the consciousness is gone but it's equally possible that the relationship but nothing in neuroscience rules it out that the relationship is more like the relationship of the TV signal to the TV set and in that case when the TV set is broken of course the TV signal continues and this is the paradigm of all spiritual traditions that we are immortal souls temporarily incarnated in these physical forms ". This is the main contention materialists have (I think anyway) ,people like Dawkins, etc... with people like Sheldrake or Hancock because they lack any imagination because of the danger associated with it as Leo said Anyway @Roy rock on man Thanks for the video recommendation Rupert Sheldrake and Terence Mckenna were good friends I think So thats how you know Ruperts a bad motherfucker Check out this Russel Brand podcast with Rupert as well if anyone is interested

@Gauds55 Curious, why don’t you want to be in a monogamous relationship?

@flowboy What’s your vision for who you want to be? I don’t really have one, if you choose to be one person you stop your self from being another, the best advice that I can give is just to avoid being who you don’t want to be and then all you can hope for is the best I get the point you made about ego backlash, that’s why I made the post on self image, all changes stem from a change in how you view yourself, that’s really where motivation comes from

@AlphaAbundance Yes son

@Pilgrimage of Self Great Glad you find it useful
