  1. God being infinity sort of implies an infinite of Gods which is one. There are infinite degrees of infinity and and infinite infinite degrees of infinity. I don’t know
  2. @StarStruck Personally, found Rational Cognitive Behavioural psychology along with Peter Ralstons work… which is rooted in Zen to be very powerful. Positive Psychology Rational Cognitive Behaviour Zen/ Spirituality/ Mysticism I think it’s important to be familiar with the different lenses of psychology. Like, being familiar with Carl Jung, Adlerian Psychology, Freud, psychoanalysis, developmental psychology, rational cognitive behavioural psychology, mind body science, and mysticism, etc Once familiar you realize that 90% of it is bullshit, contextual, relative, partial, etc Part of the reason to be familiar with the field overall is to dig the nuggets of gold and to feed your contemplation and direct, objective observation/ contemplation of your own psychology. Recently been reading Peter Ralston… very direct insights that are fundamental. I think you’d have to be a fool not to read all of Ralston’s books. Part of the design of the universe is to enjoy the mystery and the exploration of these ideas, if you enjoy doing that. I enjoy Peter Ralston David Richo Vernon Howard Gabor Mate and others I’m still rather young in my exploration and embodiment. Note: thanks for the video share!
  3. Addiction free living is a goal of mine
  4. Not an easy question. They come with risks. Part of the process is your own contemplation. What you take from it, observed honestly over time…
  5. Leo is pure jk Leo’s non-click bait (mostly) titles are appreciated.
  6. Music, YouTube, phone, weed, worry, All good things. The really problem I think for me is I need more time just being, in silence. Whether reading, writing, meditating just being lazy in silence.
  7. Forget about solipsism. Just be yourself. When you conceptualizer something which you have no experience of… it ain’t the real dealio. Focus on living life, that’s what’s actual.
  8. True... I want success and a good life. But, I don't deserve one just because I am me. Taking a break for awhile from this place while I focus more on what is actual for me. Stay well everyone. If I don't make it, live a good life for me.
  9. @Yimpa Haha, maybe.
  10. I feel like, if most people born in North America could be taught the principles of living well... for most of us it would be easy. The problem is when we are like 20-30 years old, trying to figure out how to live and it's too late.
  11. It's hard to love humanity when you see it's dark underbelly. It's hard to love coworkers, bosses, and people you know who can be mean, unfriendly and do you harm. It's hard to love the brutal nature of human existence... How time works... How opportunity and risk works... It's hard to love a social matrix that doesn't care about you but the functioning of the social Matrix. Life is difficult, brutal and hard to love. Truly, one must gain mastery over the beast. Doing so takes years. Ideally, you get as much straightened out in your teens and early 20s. Life isn't easy for anyone. But, just because it isn't easy, and isn't easy to love... Doesn't mean it doesn't deserve love. Because at the end of the day the human experience is all that exists. Humans are all over the place and they can be the best and worst thing. I'm getting a feel more and more just how brutal and unfriendly survival is. It's really brutal. Everyone is a slave to some degree. Freedom is relative. I'm going to escape wage slavery one day. It's going to take a long time. I've got this human life that is hard to love. But I know loving it and honouring it is the best thing to do. People are wasteful, they waste all the food People are hateful, and people are rude But God, I love some people sometimes Because people are very, very special And people are impatient, and they don't know how to wait People are selfish, and people are prone to hate But God, I love some people sometimes Because people are the greatest thing to happen I said God, I love some people sometimes Because people are the greatest thing to happen And people are people regardless of skin People are people regardless of creed People are people regardless of gender People are people regardless of anything I said people are people regardless of gender People are people regardless of anything And people are my religion because I believe in them People are my enemies and people are my friends I have faith in my fellow man And I only hope that he has faith in me I said I have faith in my fellow man And I only hope that he has faith in me I said I have faith in my fellow man And I only hope that he has faith in me!
  12. Thought this was a cool insight into the logic of game design
  13. Me? Zero
  14. Trying
  15. Probably take a year working day job plus 3 shifts side job. So, my life is pretty much on hold until I pay this thing off.
  16. @Princess Arabia well, I’m a brutal mf
  17. My diploma was a great investment. I can get very nice paying jobs, considering…. It was the marketing course. Ruined my life. I’m working on steeling my mind to overcome the mess my life seems to be in right now. I think… I think I can make my life better.
  18. Ahah… I’m ready for heaven…. Music, tea, healthy relationships, lots of money, Qigong, psychedelics, nature, peace…. Riding my bike…. But, I’m living the life of an unskilled young man. Doing my best to survive… to make art… being best down by life. I think I can grow stronger… my heart colder. I want to make something meaningful. I want to master living, my habits… my mind… my finances… but, it’s such a slow process. Sometimes I wonder if I can do it. When I see how brutal work is… how cold HR is… how it’s the bottom line before humanity and I don’t matter. I’m this unimportant gorilla in a large social matrix that doesn’t care about me. Reality doesn’t care about my dreams, my preferences, my feelings, my desires. Though, it seems to have given me these things. It’s a very strange creation.
  19. @CARDOZZO Harder especially if you lack the maturity to handle the consciousness.
