Thought Art

All of us lonely, it ain't a sin To want something better, then the shape your in The rain came at the break of day Your light in the windowpane, said come on in It's a broken heart babe, I know the sound Feels like your hands, are nailed to the ground It'll pass just like everything else You won't let it get to me, the next time around It's a hard earn victory The life that come from you to me Can never be wrong Grown from a moment and a million miles Here lies the stardust and it slowly dies Borrowed from nothing come back half alive And the stars the whisper blessings as you walk by

It’s funny I had been thinking about cyber security career for past few months. Then, at an open mic last night I was chatting to a guy who happened to be a cybersecurity manager here in my city. He mentioned once I had a certificate or two to reach out to him and he’d help me find/ get a job.That was lucky.

I think I just need to find a way to drastically increase my income and to hell with everything else. Money is all that matters short term/mid term. No more thinking about being an artist, no more thinking about spirituality, no more Qigong as a business I just can wrap my head around that working out at all. I need to go into a field like cybersecurity and focus on finding ways of just earning more money. I don’t think I’ll ever make money from things I like. At least, not unless I already have an Abundance of money in the first place. It’s also probably true there is more joy in being a craftsman and following a passion anyway. It’s disheartening but, I’m in this social matrix meatsuit nightmare drama. So🙃, gotta meet it on its terms. God dangled a lot of fruit in front of me and slapped me down hard. I get to see artists like Arcadefire and Bon Iver but, not taste success unfortunately. Instead I get bald lonely , debt riddled tinnitus. Focus on the process, building higher earning skills, being a craftsman in a higher earning field than accounting and payroll like cybersecurity. I know hope is important to keep me alive and going. I just don’t want tjj oh be fooling myself. I suffer enough as it is. I never want my fridge empty again as it is right now. Is embarrassing.

@LSD-Rumi Thank you Rumi, that is a good mindset you share. I’m re-evaluating it. I sense I need to allow myself to focus on this survival stuff right now. I have a life purpose statement but, I think it need adjusting now. @Leo Gura Thank you Leo. It means a lot to me.

I’ve been working on crafting a personal mission statement inspired by reading “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”. I thought I’d share it here too. I’ll be refining it as I growth and mature until I have a solid foundational document. My Personal Mission Statement.pdf

Imagine how massive his pursuit is for one guy haha

If you are a young entrepreneur, or you are interested in spirituality make sure you watch this. This is what happens when you are so lost in new age bullshit you can’t think straight. Money doesn’t care about your feelings, your spirituality or your identity. It’s a skill, and it’s important you understand debt, earnings, taxes, interest rates, budgets, numbers, etc. Do not skip your financial education. It’s really the most fundamental skill set for a self actualizing persons. Chances are you do want some degree of wealth, shelter, peace of mind, etc. Having good financial habits, psychology, and just brute understanding of how our economic system works will save you years of paying the idiot taxes that is loans, credits, etc. Your ability to endure understanding boring and technical fields like personal finance is a worthwhile sacrifice and investment into yourself. If you are a teenager or in your 20s this is number one!! Understand first the brutal nature of finance and money and then, understanding this harsh reality build your life. Not the other way around.

Sheila and the leadership of rajneesh Param mishandled and mistreated that poor little community. They may have been able to build their dream community but not like that. They were aggressive and militant. Osho has some good teachings. I’ve listened to hundreds of hours but also a lot of it is worthless.

How not to start a business

I think this is mentioned in LP course

All we are saying….

@Twentyfirst Thanks for sharing. I’ll add this to my contemplation.

@Twentyfirst Oops, why you were replying I added a bit to my above comment. What Solution do you think is right here? What would you like to happen?

@Twentyfirst I have a question about your biases. In an earlier post you'd say something about how "we should treat each how we want to be treated" and that Israel is evil for killing innocent people. But, when Hamas kills innocent people...first... I might add in this particular conflict... Israelis are at fault for being stupid and having a festival next to them. Then, it is Israel who is evil for fighting back. Is a woman evil for fighting back against her rapist? What if both Israel and Gazans see each other as that rapist.. Therefore they are both acting from good intentions? I can see fighting Hamas to keep a country safe. But, killing and raping at random in this context as Hamas did... That is only gonna spread pain and fear. This is where I think, perhaps I need a wider context of the conflict. What Hamas did to me is stage red, but also must be stemming from deep trauma and anger. This quote you share, I don't know what that has to do with this.

@Twentyfirst I’m done talking to you. At least for now. I don’t live anywhere near these countries and I’m unfamiliar with the situation and culture. So, it’s all new to me.

@MAHAVATAR_-_BABAJI Be careful with your posts. A little maturity goes a long way.

Seeking understanding of a conflict I don’t know well is not inherently disrespectful unless you project that into it. Strawman comparison.

@Ash55 The first mistake was Sheela not doing proper research on zoning laws

@Twentyfirst I asked “Why”. Asking why something happened isn’t bias.

Oh? Show me a quote where I said I was picking a side. Did you read what I wrote?

@rachMiel Unless you can go infinitely deep

@TwentyfirstPlease come towards conversations here from a place of relative respect, or don’t come here. I don’t wanna read your nasty posts, about how you have the right opinion and everyone else is an idiot. That you and Leo are the two smartest people here. Which, I find funny because as one of Leo’s students the things you say show me how little you actually are familiar with Leo’s work. For one, you come off extremely ignorant, selfish, rude, entitled and arrogant. Calling everyone here a retard is rude and unnecessary. Not just your recent reply to me but your behaviour throughout this thread over the previous days. (also my last verbal warning for that kind a behaviour). Politics and war are complicated when trying to understand the hyper complex reality of the wants, needs, perspectives, biases, histories, etc of all the parties involved. I’m not more biased towards Israel or Palestine. I can try to understand why the actors are doing what they’re doing on both sides as I try to understand every perspective or possible interprétion. See, I practice what is called epistemic humility which Leo teaches. I try to be patient, loving, unbiased, not knowing, curious, open minded, patient, truth seeking in these situations. You on the other hand JUST KNOW, what is right. JUST KNOW, everyone’s a retard. Give me a fucking break. Why did Hamas murder, rape and kidnap 1400 civilians? Why did the Palestinian Government praise Hamas for this action? Is Israel’s response correct or not? Who am I to decide this? Why would Israel react as intensely as it is doing to destroy Hamas? What is the reality of actions needed if is Israel is too see that through? What is the history of this part of the world? Of this conflict? Why has the conflict gone on so long? Why can’t there be peace? What is the global consequences of this? How will all this pain, trauma and conflict ripple out through the generations? What news reports are true? What are false? What is a valid opinion, view, interpretation, perspective? Is it really a genocide? Or is Israel genuinely trying to destroy Hamas but there are many who will be hurt because of the reality of how Gaza is laid out and how Hamas operates? What are Israel’s intentions? Which is true? What is right here? What is wrong here? What are my biases and how could they be affecting my interpretation of this situation? There are many questions to ask here… many I haven’t due to my limited understanding and my unconscious biases. Leo does not teach being a self centred arrogant asshole towards others, being close minded, only seeing the world from your survival bias. He teaches NONE of that. Though, you act on this way here on a regular basis. If anyone acts retarded here it’s you. Your biases are made clear in your post. Thanks for sharing them. Start acting better around here. I also get the sense this conflict is very hard for you. If that’s the case I’m sorry you are suffering. But, don’t take it out on us here. This “treat others as you’d be treated” I agree is a very high ideal. One I see you struggle with. It’s beautiful when you can do that in a part of the world. But, at the same sometimes you need to go to war. Krishna explains it well in The Bhagavad Gita. So, in reality these morals you have again may just be your biases. I personally find it a great great shame when so many innocent die and suffer. It’s very sad and challenging. I would prefer world peace. But, as of right now there is conflict on earth.

But that’s so partial. It’s like saying night is unnecessary because it been sunny for 7 hours.
