  1. Are gymnasts and athletes conscious of there entire body at the same time?
  2. There's two parts to my writing style, the first is intentional controversy to spice it up, which just happens automatically and I probably go too forward with it, the second is I'm not naturally in a humour or play state, sort of robotic autism is the direction. Comes extremely direct and blunt. lol The topic is more like "PEOPLE CANT FEEL THERE BODIES?" wtf are people doing??? Without the body Everything is dysfunctional. And I contribute a lot of of my insights from body awareness as grounding. I don't deny its extremely useful for insights and awakening. From my experience with my own body and analysis and questioning others, not aware of breath and body in a full way is a neurotic state. Maybe you could get away with really good awareness of the breath for grounding Nice I'm interested to know for people who struggle with full body awareness and who are practising, what's their main issue and what kind of practice are they doing? Like can you feel your breath, your hands and your feet at the same time or do you lose one part of your body if you try to focus on another and it's hard to juggle both at the same time?
  3. I wouldn't know, it seems most people can't feel any part of their body unless they're being touched and theres motion involved. It should be pretty easy to direct awareness to any part of the body and feel the skin on it. Like are people incapable of feeling there own skin? The skin of the entire body and every nerve in the body is constantly sending signals to the brain. It just depends in whether you're paying attention to it or not.
  4. Puzzle 11 Black to Play and win. Warning this is not strictly a puzzle. This is a famous game between (white) Mikhail Botvinnik vs (black) Mikhail Tal See if you can play like Tal, black to play.
  5. As a reference there is a core book "The Mind Illuminated: A Complete Meditation Guide Integrating Buddhist Wisdom and Brain Science for Greater Mindfulness". There are 10 stages in this book and the 6-7 stage is "unlock full body awareness". The entire book is about unlocking the body awareness and unifying the mind systems. Level 1: be aware of your feet. Level 2: be aware of your feet and your knee at the same time. Level 3: be aware of your feet and your knee and your hands and your breath at the same time. ... so on. But what im pointing to is full body awareness is not advanced, its a prerequisite for health and any quality of life and longevity. It is sickness/trama/stressors/survival pressure that we are disconnected from the body. Its the natural state to be is a full body awareness. Its like imagine getting under the cover as a kid and feeling the confort of the pillow and mattress. This is basic self awareness to be aware of the body. but most people if you ask them to feel there toes they cant. Not at all, that i would categorize as a advanced state. Im speeking of things much simpler, just to be aware of the entire body and from there it is natural to include everything in ones experience. In the morning right when waking im blocked off and i concentrate to open the gate again and re-enter state of full awareness. The Buddhist word is piti/sukha (rapture/pleasure), waves throughout the body. its a common jhana technique, but i would categorize this as advanced and not average. Base line basic health is full body awareness and relaxation. Teachings often focus on body scanning, to practice unlocking the body. How can a person relax if there not aware of the body? The basic prerequisite for relaxation is that you could feel the relaxation in your body. And if someone can't feel their body relaxing, this is so unhealthy and leads to every chronic illness and ego games.
  6. For years, I've been redesigning the keyboard because the regular keyboard layout never made any sense to me. I recently switched to a Mac and the first thing i did was remapped some basic keys, maybe you guys would find this interesting. caps lock -> Speech to text tab -> enter Tild (button bellow escape key) -> backspace Command + tab -> screen shot This way your left hand could always stay on the keyboard and your right hand could stay on the mouse, now you don't need to move your right hand to the keyboard as often saving a lot of time. I used karabiner elements (mac) to remap.
  7. I can concentrate so hard on one point in my body that it hurts. I can concentrate so hard on my hand that I have a hand orgasm. I can feel the poop moving through my intestinal track at all times. I can feel brain regions activating depending on the task I'm doing. If you focus on your hand, you could notice that there is a inner relaxation and if you keep amplifying an amplifying it, you eventually feel ecstasy.
  8. It's nearly impossible for the normal person to achieve E. Tolle state of being following what he says. He's giving people fish instead of teaching them how to fish
  9. lmao Black to move and win.
  10. I can make a meta chess site for us to play with. I just need help figuring out the game play.
  11. It would be fun, but maybe we'll play Meta chess, or else the better player will always win. There isn't that much of luck in chess when there's big skill gaps.
  12. It's very similar to when I used to fall asleep while playing chess. One part of my brain is doing logical thinking and the other parts is doing something else and you become half asleep.
  13. mr. Potter, care for a game of wizards chess?
  14. Puzzle 10: The Quiet move Black to move and win. The counter intuitive moves in chess are the quiet moves, this is were chess really shines. Its the beginner that believes sacrificing the queen is counter intuitive, the problem with it is sacrifices are forceful and forceful moves are the first thing everyone learns to calculate. Its the quiet moves that take time to learn and master and are the heart of chess. The Hand of God are the quiet moves.
  15. Difference is your head feels like a planet and the centre of everything. Probably because you're just more aware of your head. I still feel like a separate ego if that's what you're asking, if I maintain this state for years I might dissolve that as well.
  16. Puzzle 9 Black to move and win.
  17. Nice not bad if you figured this out without a engine. The key concept is black is forced to run back to stop the pawn and the bishop is trapped so you can win it.
  18. The documentary explores a invisible world most people dont know exists. People allergic to this toxic world. The issues goes deeper then this, the toxic world effects everyone just in ways that are not easy to associate, like depression, chronic fatigue, thyroid problems, digestion problems, mood problems, anger problems, SIBO, joint problems, ADHD, brain fog, schizophrenia, psychosis, insomnia. It all depends on your genetics. The video shows people how have no resistance and the life they are forced to live. This also mirrors my life. @Charlotte
  19. @Ramasta9 I agree! Except the part were we go rogue in the jungle maybe we have to strike a balance lol The main issue im seeing is people dont know how these chemicals effect them because its not accute (life changing sickness). Its the frog in boiling water. Its also all they know, they never experienced HEALTH. They dont know what there missing. There entire life is brain fog from chemical exposure, they have no reference experience to know what a life is supposed to be. They think a daily rolercoaster of emotions is normal life. Everyone is neurotic and they blame "its all in your head".
  20. Puzzle 8 White to move and win.
