The more rapt in ideas and symbols I get, the farther away from Truth. The more rapt in THIS, in __!__, in all there is beyond thought, the closer to Truth.

If the ego, the sense of "I," is the source of our chronic frustrations and illusions, then how could "i" improve that which needs to be improved? It's literally impossible to lift myself from my own bootstraps, so why try to do so? Isn't self-actualization and self-improvement the greatest waste of time and energy because of this apparent situation? How can the one who needs improved do the improving? IT CAN"T because there is no such thing as "I" What's really confusing us are all the symbols, nouns, and ideas that are really nothing at all! Instead of trying to do the impossible and teaching ways to improve ourselves while using a language that suggests there is an Improver (Noun) and a subject who needs improving (Verb), why isn't there a central focus on empiricism, on feeling and sensing our union with the universe? Instead of giving how-to, step-by-step methods of getting to some result, why don't we focus on exploring and expressing myth and philosophy that disassembles our mirage of thought and symbolism so that we're left with that which can't be and never needs to be improved? Better yet, why don't we create a new language that's more conducive to understanding reality?

The Seven Stages of Alchemy I am now beginning to become immensely interested in Alchemy, Hermeticism, Sacred Geometry, and Astrology. From simply glossing over Alchemy, I realize that it is solely focused on self-actualization, and to embark on the alchemical journey means becoming an "ascended" or simply put, a high-consciousness human being. How do you all feel about it? I'm very interested and I'll be studying the works of Thoth (Emerald Tablets) and Hermetica to delve deeper for the sake of understanding and growth.

sounds interesting to me as well

I'm now beginning to feel that discipline is too simple to accept; it's the acceptance of discomfort, pain, and suffering through deliberate action and awareness for the sake of growth and change.

That's great, but is the ability developed or is the strength of the ability determined by the clarity and aspiration of the vision?

Interesting, thanks for your perspective. I know you said you're starting shallow, but I want to know, 'what IS willpower?' Is it simply an idea? Or is it simply the force of vision, of passion to expand the threshold as you said?

Before my question, I want to explain my situation: I'm 21 years old and already having relatively serious health issues which are affecting every area of my life-physique and appearance, relationships, communication, self-esteem, and psychology. I would get professional treatment if I had the money and knew they would actually help me holistically. But what I truly know is that I am a creator who can heal himself from the inside out. I'm not deathly ill, I just need discipline to manage a strict whole foods diet without sugar+refined foods and to keep me on the path of mastery with calisthenics/daily exercise. So then, what is discipline? Is it just the inner voice of 100% commitment saying, 'just do it!'? Or is there a deeper layer? I have that voice one day, then I lose it when I'm stressed or depressed and go back to the old habits. I tell myself, 'I'm failing my way forward' but J want to know the complete 'science' of discipline so that once in on the path, I'll never leave it. @Leo Gura

@Natasha thanks Natasha, that helped me see even deeper into the reality of social media. I thank you too @Leo Gura your right, it's simply a matter of self-discipline and not relying on social media. And thank you @Loving Radiance, even being on the forum brings that dopamine hit and I'll be reminding myself to be mindful of all of my tech use, and to manage my time on it. Thank you all.

I just watched the Social Dillemna, a powerful documentary that discloses the manipulation and persuasion within the algorithms of Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, etc. The advice was to delete all social media so that we don't contribute to the real issues arising from such manipulation, such as; conspiracy theories, fake news, political divisiveness being at an all time high, distraction, wasting time, depression, suicide, and close mindedness. This may existential. But as a musician, I understand most bands and artists almost have to post and market on Instagram to get exposed enough. How else could we make a living online? Are there alternatives? What's your advice

So the proposed action steps we should take are to know every key figure in every branch of government? Or do we just shut out politics and view beings as equals? What are good, unbiased, educational resources that everybody can use to learn from?

Here's a very small scale example of electromagnetic gravitics: https://youtu.be/XB2Le9Qj_yc If funded, supported, and developed this can power homes and vehicles for free. Tesla actually had a car with an antenna that endlessly charged two batteries and mentioned it to JP Morgan who refused to support it "if it doesn't have a meter, we don't want it." That was about a hundred years ago...

I wouldn't even consider this alien. The Zero Point Energy Field has been studied and used since the 1920s by folks like Tesla and Casimir. And though I can provide pics and videos of small scale free energy experiments, such as Rodin's VBM coil that causes a metal ball to spin forever, I can't find much else other than documentation proving the study and application of such systems. Firstly, this is because you need an abundance of support and resources for such research. Secondly, if its suppressed it'll be bought out, erased, or confiscated before it can be released to the public unless it's put out very quickly and openly on all platforms. It's like looking for a needle in a corrupt haystack.
