@Heart of Space How convenient that the biggest debtor nation(USA) in the history of the world wants to change the definition of money. When money is not a store of value, it encourages speculation into alternative assets such as stocks, bonds, gold, Bitcoin. But what are all these assets priced in? They are all priced in some dollar amount. If your dollars are not a store of value, then how do you know how much your assets are worth? How do you know the true value of these assets if the value is not stored but inflated? The economy must find a stable ground onto which all other assets are priced. If the value of money is not stable, the value of all assets is also not stable. The people who buy Bitcoin believe in this scarce digital assets as a reliable store of value. We will see if this will be the case in a few years. -

Agreed. Those who don't believe it comes from within have to search for their healing outside themselves until they find their inner own source of healing. -

What would limit the imagination to imagine a shapeless color? If you can't do it, there must be a strong link between shapes and colors. What is that link? -

What is an absurd level of inflation? The governments are targeting an average 2% inflation which in my mind is already absurd. One characteristic of money is to serve as a store of value. If money is devalued on purpose, people may seek alternative forms of money. -
The US elections in my mind are a collective battle between the human Ego(Trump) and the Human Spirit(Biden). The Ego aims to divide the United States while the Spirit tries to Unite. The Ego can't admit defeat and will try any possible way to stay in power. The Spirit accepts Reality as it is, good or bad. The Ego corrupts all those around them by threatening their livelihood, while the Spirit uplifts all those around by seeking their cooperation. The US election is God's Way of deciding if the US is ready for the next step of the collective evolution of society. Thoughts?

Every outside projected authority eventually has to lose its authority. In the next few decades, Governments will lose their power and authority. The system has become too complex for one president to preside over all the people. When the system is too complex, no one person is competent enough to preside over it. In the next few decades, people will wake up and realize that politics is just a puppet show and the strings are being pulled by a bigger "invisible" power. Their powers of the president will become somewhat similar to the British Monarchy where the King is only a king in name but without any powers. I think the next step would be a return to a new form of direct democracy, but this time powered by transparency and technology. -

Why is $2 trillion a huge sum? It's just an average amount of US "stimulus" package. And the whole world is "stimulating" by printing money. If bitcoin is the next generation of money, $2 trillion is just a drop in the bucket. -

There is validity to the Ego. In the final analysis, the Ego is deluded, but the delusion is necessary. Most of the people who vote for Trump vote from their Ego. So about half of the country is at that level of evolution. Every perspective is valid, but no perspective is True. -
JosephKnecht replied to JosephKnecht's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
I do agree that Biden is not the best representation of the Human Spirit. On the other hand, Trump is probably the best representation of the Human Ego that we will ever have. -

Unification also means a single point of failure. Now if you RAM Memory fails, you need a new M1 chip. This is good for business, bad for end-users. -

It will reach $100k by the end of next year only temporarily, and then it will go back to the $20k-$30k range. The only reason for this is because governments around the world are printing money and the world is on fiat money standard. Most of this newly printed money now is flowing into stock markets as speculation, but eventually, people will realize that the fiat money system is in jeopardy if governments continue to monetize their own debt. In order to diversify out of the fiat money system, investors will start buying scarce assets (gold and bitcoin). Don't look at short term trading, but rather try to analyze long term trends when making investment decisions. -
@Rilles This would be a nice feature. I notice some people are already doing this in the comments, but it would be more useful in the video description itself.

Yes. I have. I don't think it made me wiser tho... But I know she did it out of love. @Leo Gura Thanks for the answer. Authenticity is the way, but not the end-goal. Hitler was also authentic when he was burning the Jews, but I wouldn't want to follow him because he was authentic. (Extreme example )

@Leo Gura Your tone of voice when presenting the Science Series is very different from your other videos. Are you doing this on purpose? If yes, why? The content is great. Your insights are valuable and if written they would be perfect. But your tone of voice is negative, almost as if you talking down to your viewers. I am wondering why? I think if you presented the insights with a more loving tone of voice more people will be inclined to continue listening and it will have a more positive effect on them. After watching Part 3, you started looking like the guy in the video below. So my comment is now about what you said, but how you said it.

If I was given an option between serving prison time in Sweden or living in the slums of India, I would choose prison in Sweden. The Prison System is created for all those people who don't serve the larger system of society. By default, if you don't serve society, society won't serve you by providing a comfortable stay in their prison system. But, some societies (Western Europe) have higher standards of living in their prison system than other societies have in their whole societal system. So you just have to pick carefully which system you want to serve.

Everything is beautiful if seen through the right eyes. If you look at the spiritual development of the fighters themselves, you will notice that they are mostly red, tribe oriented and they use the sport to channel animalistic anger and frustration. The more advanced ones could lean towards orange where do they play the sport from a competitive vantage point. My friend's cousin was competing on an amateur level. One day he got into a fight in a night club where someone cut off his ear completely. If you go into the sport, you will deal with people who behave more like animals rather than humans. So be careful.

Spirituality should not be used as an escape from reality, but rather as an amplifier of reality. You can't escape who you are. Ask yourself, what is that you truly want? Do you want to have fun with others, socialize, be productive like your friends? If that is what you truly want, you should learn how to get it. But if you truly want nothing, then that is what you will get. What do you really want? -

So now you can make an empty vase with your own hands. -
Science is an attempt to create objective truth out of subjective experiences. In the end, you can't have an object without a subject and vice versa. There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lies,_damned_lies,_and_statistics Science narrows down the variables of causality and in this way it limits itself. Science can only explore how few variables affect another variable, but it could never explain everything. Ask a scientist what caused everything to come to existence and they can't give you an answer because everything can't be isolated. In that sense, Science isolates itself from understanding the primal cause. What is right? It is simply a validation by others of your subjective experience. If one day you see a ghost, and your intuition is telling you that ghosts exist, how would you prove to a scientist that your intuition is right?

JosephKnecht replied to Muhammad Jawad's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
You are still stuck in your bodily senses. Your eyes see but know NOT what they see. You listen but know NOT what you hear. You know, but know NOT who you are. If you let go of all experiences, then how do you still have your experiences? Maybe when you let go of all experiences, you experience the experience beyond experiences. Maybe. Nobody can tell you who you are. Only you decide this. -
Fear and love are diametrically opposed emotions. You can't resolve the fear of loving, since if there was truly loving, there won't be any fear. Your fear is that your love won't be requited, and that is a valid fear. To overcome this fear you must love yourself first to the same extent you are loving the guy.

JosephKnecht replied to Viking's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@Viking You need to learn how to control the sexual energy that flows into your body. It seems that currently, you are not able to control the flow which is causing you problems. Sexual energy can be controlled through breathing and visualization techniques. Hugging your gf helps you because she helps you to release that sexual energy. She is your healer. If you want to learn the techniques, read some books from David Deida.
