Thought Art

You know, you have a point. Our thoughts, memories and stories are constructions. But, at the same time you are a human. I really think the Tao of Fully Feeling book will open your mind to see something more which will grow you more. He talks about going through what you are right now, and how it was a trap. I personally have a different idea of growth in this context. It’s more for me, of a taking full responsibility for these stories, thoughts and feelings. The thoughts and feelings, though constructs…. If you are experiencing them they are real. You have a human psyche. You aren’t going to unidentify your way out of thinking about the past, or feeling some negative emotions. I realized that a lot of our emotions are stored in not just our brain, but our body. They are deep, and physiological which is why Qigong is a big part of my work… and then, journaling practices, and reading self help is another big pillar in my work and my “Growth”. Because I realize that I am a construct, even as a human not to mention my memories and story, etc then the real question is… as a human psyche how do I Grow? For me, it’s about feeling more, journaling, reading books like I’ve suggested here, studying rational cognitive behavioural therapy, practicing Holden Qigong, psychedelics, etc. To grow in this regard is to work with the construction. To simply not identify with it and expecting it to go away is like… no longer identifying with being obese… okay, sure you aren’t your body. But, the obesity is still there and it’s time to do some exercises. Some of these spiritual teachings like not identifying with thoughts etc is a useful aspect, or lens of this growth we are wanting to have. But, realistically they are far to partial and limited. Human psychology and physiology is far more complex. True healing, true growth… requires deeply feeling. You may be in a trap of spiritual bypassing. Just, be wary and take care ?. You will figure it out.

@Average Investor Yeah, there is evaluations for each meeting. I think even the table talks get evaluated. I did get best table talk this week

@integral I still feel like I need more detail from from you as to what that means.

@integral It’s okay to fully feel the full range of human emotions as well. I don’t have much time right now to go into this. But, some books that come to mind are The Tao of Fully Feeling by Pete Walker Loving What Is - Byron Katie Besides that really, Can you define/ describe what you mean by growth in this context? What is growth, and what would it mean to be grown?

@Average Investor what do you mean?

@Jacob Morres It’s bigger than just sales. I work on sales with my marketing course every other day of the week: copy, brand/ branding, social media, sales calls/ scripts, copy. Etc ToastMasters is to work on my speech and presentation skills, leaderships skills, networking. Public speaking is a powerful marketing technique. There’s also pathways on persuasive motivation. I want my brand to be well known, and have a decent impact on the lives of people with busy stressful jobs. I’ve got a long time horizon on this as well. I am still young, immature and growing. There are many sales/ marketing strategies each with a host of different tactics. Public speaking and networking are in this. I am still working through this. I just know I’m 12 months I want to be well versed in toast masters. This will make me stronger, more confident, a better speaker, leader etc. They also have a coaching pathway which interests me because I am becoming a coach. I am also looking at doing IPEC in next 3 years.

I am building myself into a Man and a leader. I want to be well known, and well paid stress coach and Qigong teacher. I want to be able to speak at a professional level, and teach Qigong to westerners at a professional level. I am definitely in a learning and building phase. My day job is pushing and challenging me every day My Qigong education is pushing me every day My marketing course and business is pushing me every day And my art pushes me too and spiritually I am growing all the time I will act now I will persist until I succeed I will live this day as if it is my last I will laugh at the world I will greet this day with love in my heart I am Nature’s greatest miracle I will master my emotions I will multiply my value a hundredfold I am the greatest salesman in the world

@Kconsciousness cool lookin spot Not sure what you asked me Bon Iver is an Astuarary King

@DrugsBunny okay that’s a suspicious response

@Osaid Leo’s leg are myth

Lack of love was part of it for sure But, it was love that looked objectively, love that set the goals, did the work, failed and is still growing and improving and over time succeeding today.

LSD is very philosophical for me

Okie Dokie I was just taking about this today.

I don’t what causes but it’s definitely a phenomenon. About a week after tripping I’ve noticed reactivations. Mostly while sleeping but at times during day.

Always clean your house and trip in a place where nothing can get knocked over.

@Leo Gura Focus on the reality of it, objectively. Good and bad.

@Leo Gura I am worried about how this technology will hurt democracy. ”I know a time is coming all words will lose their meaning… BLACK MIRROR!”

@Squeekytoy People who are jerks to me, I’m not nice to. I’m going to be assertive when I see people are obviously being foolish or a jerk to me. Which includes you. Stop being a jerk! That, or I’m just ignoring some of you guys. Ignoring is probably what will happen. I personally am working on not being nice. I also have to observe myself because… it’s likely on this forum jerks aren’t going away anytime soon because many of you lack maturity. It’s probably going to be, 1. I am assertive, 2. I am focused on learning and providing value and 3. I’m engaging less and less with fools and jerks.

@StarStruck Grow up you fool

I don’t know. All I know, with regards to Leo’s level of knowing, he definitely explains reality and articulates things like no other Guru. His methods also are powerful when done maturely.

What’s a mature response to you?

How about the walls literally splitting open revealing a massive Aztec like face which warps and changes as your entire field of focus becomes absolute. Impossible shapes, bright colours shifting around. Hard, solid shapes. Reality is a consciousness. Not a human, not a physical experience but… a pure being with no limitations. Dancing Buddha is weak sauce

“Oh God will I look at you now oh you lost it but you don’t know how In the light of a golden calf oh God I had to laugh! Take the poison of your age Don’t lick your fingers when turn the page It was wrong but you said it was right in the future I will read at night”

@Raf Snorting isn't too bad if your technique is good. What, it takes like 5 or 10 minutes? I don't normally time it. I just snort, and go into fetal position on my bed. I just sit, breath, and feel.

I identity politics stuff is just surface level. It's really about trauma, mental illness and peoples ability to totally deceive themselves. Now, maybe he was always trans or had gender dysforia since a young age and he was several abused and traumatized by what happened to him as a kid and that school. There is no reason to shoot kids and student. I know that person who did the shooting went to that christian school when he was a kid. There is a lot of mental illness in trans community. There is a lot of mental illness in the west right now in general. Try not to demonize Trans people. But, also notice how much bullshit there is there.
