Thanks for the correction, this verified my rustiness in remembering french words, and Crysty pranking me Update: I have finally finished creating a new tulpa using the methods found in some guide posts in one of the tulpamancy websites, tulpa.net. Now that I have a recently made tulpa, I can now have more clearer distinctions between Crysty and the new tulpa, which will help me more deeply understand to what degree is Crysty: a spirit, a tulpa, or both a spirit entity and tulpa with some energy from me. Also, I am more involved in this process than before, as now I'm involved with developing the new tulpa. I've also constructed a different room in my mind to observe the new tulpa, and I'll be applying my sensory field, one layer at a time, to fill out the new tulpa form, and teach it how to communicate. In the future, I've also planned some locations for me to see how Crysty interacts with the new tulpa, without or with my involvement.

So basically, I'm actively hallucinating a separation between my biological sex and other people's sex? Also genders, sexual orientations and sexual preferences? I'm also imagining that other people have sentience as well, me included? Is that the general direction?

@Zigzag Idiot Okay, if you say so. I do agree with what you stated. it just makes little sense to me. A masochist derives pleasure from suffering inflicted on the masochist, while the sadist derives pleasure for being the one inflicting suffering to others, so what you said below- -made little sense to me, because that means that I would have to love the suffering inflicted on me by what? Getting used to the smell of bullshit I don't like, having to wake up early to be a farmer, having to operate a tractor to move around have, which I don't like, also having to be responsible for maintaining the cow and dealing with agriculture, labor activities like shoveling dirt and creating rows don't appeal to me. I would have to train myself to like being farmer, even try to be a masochist to cope with the suffering I'm putting myself through, being a farmer and doing farmer actions which I don't resonate with. You understand me here? Maybe a better argument you could make for operating a dairy farm is to not only say you have to have a degree of masochism, but a degree of sadism and distortion from culture to operate dairy farms, and some denial as well. The reason it's better for you to include sadism is because you'll have to deal with injecting hormones and vaccines into cows if there are large numbers of them you own, in a large scale dairy farm, or herding the cows, or being the one that decides what cow gets to die. You got to have some degree of deriving pleasure from being the dairy farmer, deciding what gets to die, what gets to be breeding, and so on in order to cope with the situation you are in as a farmer. Also, it's harder for me to make a case against being a sadist than a masochist, because the power dynamic between the cows owned by the farmer is large, it's similar to the dynamic of a master and slave dynamic, having dominion over the cows. I don't see a masochist having dominion, they prefer being submitted more than the one controlling over the other. Also, it would help to mention distortion and denial as a factor in being a dairy farmer, as there's plenty of things in the dairy farming process, especially at the commercial large scale level, that it would be hard for me to argue against such factors, as these factors help in maintaining your job as a dairy farmer. Understand? If I came off as attacking your position, I wasn't intending for that.

Another example that spiritual traditions are the same as business stores and other industries out there: out market and out compete the other.

@Zigzag Idiot I think you meant sadist, but if this is your projection then verg interesting trait.

@ardacigin Great post. I've noticed in me similar experiences when I had done informal mindfulness practices like mindful eating or mindful walking, sometimes if I do it long enough, I get bored and sleepy. I have some questions about this and some parts if your post for further clarity for me: Is the object of focus limited to the breath first? Do thoughts and sensations also play a role in the awareness and attention dynamic? Is the international attentional movement similar in what Shinzen Young described when dealing with pain/irritation points in the body, switching from the location to the entire body? What about attention deficit disorder, if I have this firet before awareness deficit disorder? Is there a solution to this? Does the order not matter? Is there a solution to this? Is attention the same as analysis? Could you please elaborate on this, as for most of my life I've thought that analysis and attention are more different, that analysis is more closer to logic than attention. What is your solution to raising conscious power in order to sustain both attention and awareness dynamic during the day? Is this limited to times when you are more alert?

@ertopolice More like "The limit is how deep do you wanna go with me". Don't forget there's no 'I', a 'you', and a 'me' to begin with.

It's wonderful that another member is converted into Veganism, one person at a time.

@soos_mite_ah Spot on.

@Wilhelm44 The practical implications for parallel realities is that there's more stuff to imagine and visualize, and that can help you create more in your reality, so you run out of ideas for interesting things to do in your life. At least this is one of many implications for me, more food for my mind to munch on.

@Eternal Unity If you meant how the interviewer handled the questions as a disgrace and insult to human intelligence, then yes she could've asked more question to flesh out the historic context of her Era and the 108 year old woman's life. If you meant it's a disgrace and an insult to human intelligence when a 108 year old woman should've answered better, or had the insight that 'nothing is the same, everything is changed' but after living for over a hundred years, then god help you. because there's such a thing as being limited by the environment and available information in the ecology.

@Tim R They can offer some value in sharing their perspective on what they have experienced. That can be useful learning past mistakes and insights can occur in you when you are talking and receiving their wisdom. It's also amazing that some people could live past 100.

While anger is an emotion, and has a place in being expressed in certain contexts, it's important to let go of it as soon as possible. Anger does have adverse effects on your body when there's too much, from increased temperature, to liver damage, to seeing spots.

@Heart of Space Yes, this can be true. Enlightenment doesn't save you from cancer, or genetics, or brain chemistry such that you are born a sociopath or psychopath, so why should anyone hold high regards for the saving power of enlightenment? While it is a case that enlightenment does reduce follow up suffering, the pain is still there. How did you manage to get you coworker fired?

@WaveInTheOcean They do apply to some men that are more developed in their psyche, and not as horny as younger men. Main issue issue with this advice is it can give a pass on when you do have to work harder on attracting and building rapport with women when the context is necessary for pursuing, because if this advice is true, surely I could get away with less work and effort right? Not quite true, unless you are socially grounded and have higher natural attraction, such a guy could pull off this advice. However, when your looks are closer to average, and you don't have above average social skills, and you don't quite have a positive psychology and attitude, all you have is the following to make it more likely you land a date, and maybe a fling: sex drive, ambition, faith in yourself in making this happen no matter what, visioning, dreaming big and taking massive action. To understand the potential abuse of this advice, let's change context and talk instead about life purpose. Using this advice means I'm telling you not to pursue, think too hard and focus too hard on your life purpose, and not to take that much action on it everyday, which is the opposite of finding out what you want from life, and making it, which does take lots of work. Sounds pretty strange advice, no, that I'm telling you to give up on the point of failure, when just going over that limit a little gives success? It's like abandoning a work project, like say a book, and a month away from publishing the novel, or the manga series, you quit because there's some doubt over the success of the project, and hope the opportunity just comes to you when instead you could've given an extra effort and gone forward with that decision. Until she gives a clear no, don't give up the chase.

@Jordan Welsh This is really good if you want to go meta on a situation where you are already debating, regardless if you win or loss a debate on a meta level. Although I don't see how going meta could improve my ability to get an edge while debating?

@ilja A simple solution would be to become better at clarifying what you want, what the other wants in the exchange, and probing, and being aware of social context. If it's decided beforehand that the discussion is a debate, prepare beforehand, in a debate context. If the social context is different, like in a party, and somewhere in a conversation it's getting heated, or getting into an informal debate, you can always exit out, or go along depending on your skills of rhetoric and mindfulness.

@Jordan Welsh Yikes! You're right, despite how short the debate was, it definitely got into personal attacks on character and interrupting each other. I don't like how the debaters are sitting at arms length from each other, it felt like it could've gone into a physical fight at any moment. Rhetorically, the vegan guy was doing better than the woman. I felt I needed to help her out with dealing with his attacks. For example, he attacked her use of analogy of her personal experience with being a vegan and experiencing negatives as invalid proof to discounting Veganism, in her place I would've countered exactly the same, bringing up his personal experience and benefits, such as his weight loss from such a diet as just his story, having no validity, and bring up malnourished raw vegans as one example of going too far. Throwing in other fallacies as well. I felt like the woman was slightly better at trying to maintain neutrality in this debate and didn't come off as defensive and aggressive as the guy.

@m0hsen I'm not familiar with that work, but I'll check it out later and report what effects it had on me. My way of entering psychedelic states while astral projecting is an amalgamation of different esoteric practices involving different vibrations, from light to heavy, and some alien vibrations as well. This came about from me doing different practices, and customizing them to my particular energies, like cleansing and blessing an area, or envoking and channeling other entities. While there was some element of natural ability, for example the haunting I had decades ago, and some other paranormal events, I still had to put some work in exploring and self experimenting. There's never mostly a one size fits all, that's rare, which is why exploring is needed.

@Swarnim This is also possible, as I've reached psychedelic like states through astral projection many times, that is similar to small doses. I've also experienced dmt like fields comparable to being on a medium dose in deep sleep, so to me Bashar's claim might not be so far fetched. Probably for the normies it's far fetched, but similarly to Bashar, I'm not normal and can access other states of consciousness difficult to access normally. I think the main issue is that it's normalized in him, such that he implicitly assumes some of the people might achieve what he achieved similarly, which is more time than not not the case. Also, even though I'm a freak in nature to this, this still took some working in to access those states, and some assistance from a few entities outside my space to pull me there.

The practice does have spiritual benefits, and much more. Will power and discipline goes through the roof. Shame Leo's gonna miss out on this.

@Davo124 Figure of speech. Don't get too hung up in literal meaning.

I'd consider Bruce Lee as a good example for a stage yellow fighter/fitness/martial artist to develop into. During his time, the majority of martial artists were too stage blue, too conformist in tradition, and didn't like incorporating western fitness into their practices. It took some interest with philosophy, tons of reading, and a love for fighting and martial arts, and a bit of ambition and open mindedness, that he created his JKD system, which other organizations modelled off a bit to create MMA. As long as stage red exists as a developmental path for society to evolve through, for people to evolve through, and as long as there are lower stages of ego development, MMA isn't going extinct any time soon. It might evolve into alternative forms of entertainment and skill excellence.
