Loving Radiance

"Christians nodding their heads in agreement." Thank you ?

I looked up the most recent press briefing. The "How it's going" pic is tampered with.

@Nahm Sending lots of love to you ❤ At least 3 ounces or so, don't know yet.

@Nahm I want you to. Wait what? ?

Keep going

Awareness & (self-)honesty: The other reflects you and through that you can feel whole because you recognize how you keep yourself not whole. There is loss for the individual identity.

Wait, not so fast. Can you tell that in other words? Pointer to want rather than need?

This quote is a good example of non-ideological evidence based politics:

When the student is ready the teacher appears. When the student is truly ready the teacher Disappears.

Ah, now I see what you meant. I was confused as there was a relative playground and your statement was an existential meteorite.

Dr. Khaled ElSherbini is combining Spiral Dynamics Integral with enneagram. I would also peg him at turqoise, but he seems to be a chameleon in that regard.

What do you mean by that? Aren't the warlords of Liberia promoting devilry?

@electroBeam

Oh boi. Here we go. How come? Weren't you appreciative of the play? What did she report to have felt? (e.g. being full of shit, feeling being imaginary)

*Criticism from above.

@lmfao In addition to my comment right under this paragraph you can also try out vipassana meditation: one technique is to feel oneself at the crown chakra and look down on the body to be fully present and aware of all sensations & feelings.

Value signaling seems to be common these days. Tricky mind. What can one do to deprogram people living in their social media bubbles? Thank you for the work you do my man ? Couldn't have said better. Thank you. Nice, cutting the bs again, but how do you really expect unconscious behavior to change through that? When you open the box of calling the other names you also open for the other the box to focus on you calling them names instead of addressing your point. You want them to expose themselves by addressing your point instead of giving them the easy opportunity to deflect and focus of something trivial you said on a whim. I know the frustration - being compassionate is hard especially in the discussion itself. Do you see that he could simply restate his point and stay sure in his identity while deflecting you calling him names? Do you see how easy it is to dismiss you just because you opened the box? He now has the chance to play victim for other members in order to prove his point and uphold his pov. How does green recognize that it is dysfunctional to destroy the structure one is standing on? Direct experience lol? That could be fatal.

Nah, you can blame both. In this instance it is good to focus on oneself rather than others. You can't change others cause as you describe they already have a bunch of problems themselves. You'd burn yourself out. You define your own reactions to others, you define how you want to respond. That is the only thing @Daffcio can change.

@Forestluv Thank you for the links! Today I remembered that breathwork allows a smooth flow into resting in awareness.

I once tripped on 10g of truffles (=1g dry shrooms) after taking them out of the freezer. I had a fantastic zoom call with people beforehand and then biked to a secluded beach on the local lake. I laid myself under the tree and waited for the comeup. ... "Well, this world is beautiful, but I still feel sober. Oh, well it's getting cold now, I better go back." And that is how this trip failed. Another one: I bought my new bike and felt the comeup of 12g truffles. "Oh no, the salesman sees me getting weird. I cannot do anything, I am unable to read the manual or to organize all the new stuff into my backpack. Can I even pay?" Looking back it is interesting how I was able to function, manage paying and register the instructions. Driving again to my isolated beach, I laid myself on the same spot as last time. "Uff, what a journey. I am so glad to have found this part of the beach. I just wanna drift away..." The leaves rustle in the wind. The waves wash ashore. Families are driving by just above me. The world is good. A shiver overcomes me. "Ugh, this wind. This is getting cold. Nooo, I just wanna lay here, I am already in the peak... But the cold makes this not pleasant at all. What do I do now?" I somehow manage to open the lock and bike home. The cars driving towards me get threatening close. "Wow, I cannot really feel the cars coming towards me. Interesting for sure." (just later I realized how dumb it was to bike around on the road in this state of mind) Getting back home I just was relieved. Laying myself on the couch to drift away for another time I felt strong pain in my spine. "I have to care my spine. It is so precious. What were you thinking dude?"

"Dude, how can I help you? You seen unable to cope with reality." "There is no you and there is no I, god damnit. Reality is one and you f'ckers are too ignorant to see that." "No matter how blind you think I am, I don't think it is good for you to be any longer in this apparently triggering environment. Let me guide you to a safe space to cool down." "You still don't get it! You and I are the same and there is noone to go to another place because I am always here." "Alright then..."

So, once I sat on my dark desk at night. The light of the street shines in and illuminates a plastic bag laying on the table in front of me. Magic. Pure beauty. The light of the stars and the shine of the setting sun on the clouds are in the bag. The child is mesmerized.

@Michael569 It is also ok when I post a link to a free movie when you post a link to a free paper?

Very insightful thread. @Forestluv @Carl-Richard @Scholar Keep up the good work.

@Valach What may be good for you is being chill with girls. Hanging out with them on a regular basis. Feel into your body what feels right when being with them. Hear into your body when you feel you overstep boundaries. Be non-serious with them, joke with them, laugh about yourself. If you want to talk deep about something, talk deep with them and you feel right away if they are up for it. Enjoy their being. Enjoy sharing your grounded presence with them. Enjoy sharing your authentic self with them, and if they don't like it that's ok because there are so many people out there with whom you can connect on a deep level. Regarding sex, just enjoy their presence. Have a genuine intent of enjoying this moment with them. Be fun and be open to anything crazy that can happen. Sex doesn't have to happen, but you also don't mind if it happens. You are chill about that. You respect others boundaries and are open for them opening up. You love to make them feel safe. You love to make them emotional, to bring them on an emotional rollercoaster with you. You have fun. You enjoy this moment. You don't have a destination or end goal, you just want to have fun and enjoy the time with them. Sex is one stop on the road you are traveling. I know it is hard to be not needy about sex, if you crave it. Focus on a fun, chill and non-judgemental vibe. You want to hang out with them, just assume they want too. Assume they want you, and they can always show their boundaries if the case would be true that they don't want you. You know you want them - let your vibe let them know that they have a sexual being in front of them. Move on if you feel they aren't fun to be with anymore. You are chill. Counterintuitively, you are soft and you let go of any character you think you should play. You let go of any judgements of them or you. You just flow.
