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. -

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. -
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.

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. -

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 -

I can make a meta chess site for us to play with. I just need help figuring out the game play.
-
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.

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. -
I unlocked this state by keeping my eyes still and using my peripherals to observe throw my eyes like a cameraman. After holding this possition long enough slowly more and more of the experience becomes part of awareness until everthing is in awareness. Hands and feet become hot and full body awareness is constantly active. You are always aware of your full body, all sounds, all events, all things happening around you, all feelings, all thoughts, everything is in awareness at all times effortlessly. Thinking and self-talk is 95% gone unless its intentionally used. Thoughts stop happening and the voice and thinking process largely stops or is drastily reduced. It becomes almost difficult to have thoughts sometimes the mind is so silent. But thoughts do emerge after comtemplation like they normally do but with out the need to subvocalize. Contemplation happends in silence and insight emerge as intuition from the silence with any need to think. Time is alot slower and the day is a lot fuller. The body is relaxed that it's harder to keep your hands up because you could feel all the the minor fatigue in the muscles, the minor fatigue is normally ignored causing the body to be in constant tension. The body moves as one, each minor motion is a full body gesture even talking is experienced as a full body motion. --- This second part is a experiment i set up trying to take it to the next level. By pushing it so more enters awareness by concentraing harder on the peripherals and tryin to take in as much as possible the body becomes hotter and hotter until im dizzy and start getting a headacke. When the headacke starts i generally stop pushing it and take a break. The heat generated by the body is to the point of sweating and my breath is very calm and slow. The breath slows down more and more and the body ramps up higher and higher. After performing this i couldnt sleep from being over stimulated. The experience is more is pushed into awareness, more detail, time is slower, colors more vivid, feels like pausing. --- This is my recounting of the experience and my own experimentations. I then inputted this into AI and it made a connection with zen. --- This state is now my default state, it's possible to lose it, but following a very simple routine, I could get it back in less than a couple of minutes and once it gets back it's sticky and doesn't leave unless an acute event kicks me out. I dont think this is a special state, i believe its the default stats of many people who have not put any work in. --- Google algorithm tracked what i was searching and gave me the video.

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.

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. -

Puzzle 9 Black to move and win.

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.

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

@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".

Puzzle 8 White to move and win.

The main line here is: Rd1 Kg7 Ne3 defending the rook. The knight is pinned to the rook, if it moves you loss the rook. Kg7 moves out of the way of checks and creates a pin. So when you play Ne3 it defends the rook, it attacks the hanging rook on c4 and it threatens Nf5+ and black is getting mated so the only move for black is to play Qxd1+Nxd1 giving up the queen. If Black plays Qb4 defending the c4 rook, Nf5+ and rook+queen combo is a easy mating pattern. If Black plays Rd4 blocking, Nf5+ forks the king and the queen. Ne3 is a retreating move and in this position its counter-intuitive.
