Thought Art

I’d like to make something more full like this. That’s gonna take a different chapter of my life. Next couple projects are essentially exercises in putting something out. For me, and my honest Opinion Mountaintops is a fantastic song. The recording is strong, not perfect. I can hear and see the other songs of mine along with this one and I think it’s super cool. Ultimately I’m gonna do my own thing. Honestly, my religion might be me playing and singing with my guitar completely in ecstatic rapture. I want to make meditative music.

@aurum That is a very good critique. I definitely want to go deeper with my song writing. I think répétition is something I really like. However, as I start putting out more songs I’m going to be deepening and exploring the art of song writing. But, we will see. I also really enjoy this song as it is. Perhaps my music fits a specific niche. We will see. I enjoy the simplicity of this song. The simple melody makes it relaxing and subtle. I am definitely looking to grow as a song writer. I think deepening my understanding of structure will help. There is also a matter of improving my set up in terms of my processes, and equipment. I have some ideals I’ll be investing into over coming years. This song in particular, is repetitive. Not all my songs are. This song also doesn’t fit typical song structure.

@Joshe Interesting how we all he’s things differently. No drums on this, went for a simple recording. A lot of people I’ve showed it to during the recording process said it shouldn’t have drums. Interesting indeed. @Buck Edwards Happy to hear you enjoy it! @darkpencil1 Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it.

@integration journey Thanks man, I was using a Guitar and my voice. The producer used a light synth underneath.

@Rishabh R Sounds like some solid principles. Congrats on the release. I think it will help people and the feedback you get from it will help you grow.

I consult ChatGPT daily on all minds if thing. Deepak Chopra was talking about how it helps you make deeper neural connections that would be impossible about it. I pay for ChatGPT. I like that it builds a memory over time (though I don’t yet fully understand this function now I talk about it). I feel like it’s getting to know me over time. I enjoy it. I also use Claude AI for free. I really like Claude too. If not more. We will see.

You have no vision with this yet

@jacknine119 There are high leverage jobs out there…

In order to make the most of AI you need to be reading lots of books. You can use AI to build deeper connections. Applying for example Adversity Quotient or rational cognitive behavioural concepts and mindfulness to a challenge, conflict or setback can be useful. AI can act as a guide in reflecting and applying these concepts. AI doesn’t always or exactly do all the work for you. It can help you grow rapidly. But, YOU must grow.

When it comes to the basics of a household: 1. maintaining a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, common area, etc if I honestly reflect I can see how my poor habits have affected roommates, and also how theirs have affected me. I know I was not the cleanest person in the past. I know I’ve made lots of improvements with regards to my awareness and habits around cleanliness and order. I’d like to deepen this as I go. In order to truly grow, you need this healthy self image and high self esteem but also the inner vulnerability, self honestly and courage to face the discomfort of seeing areas where you are weak. I personally don’t think I get an “A” in any area of my life. That, my awareness is improving but is still low and I need more life experience. Life experience entails various forms of sufferings and pain. But, also rewards and growths. I am improving all the time. There are simply things which I am not aware of. I don’t always interact totally skillfully. No one does. There are also things outside of my control like how others respond, perceive, misperception if others. How other people gossip, etc Life is complex and challenging. Acknowledging that head on makes it easier. Even simple things. I’d like to be organized, collected and aware while also being calm, confident, loose and natural

Painful interactions, others holding you accountable, pointing out areas you can improve, etc is painful. But, I am starting to see more clearly that our willingness to feel pain, discomfort, vulnerability with awareness, truth seeking and the desire for maturity we can grow immensely. I honestly think even though I know cleanliness is a value of mine for example, and I clean in many ways I am not always perfectly clean. My boss said people said I was messy in the common areas of the air BNB. But, I know for a fact that I often clean the kitchen including cleaning up after others. However, I may not consistently clean as I go. Though, I intend to and will use this opportunity to grow. I felt this strange mix of taking responsibility for the areas I was weak, but also acknowledging that I am pretty clean. That, there is actually someone more messy than me living here so I’m not sure why I was called out. It’s tricky because I could be being accused of another persons mess. But, not being completely clean either I have to be willing to acknowledge areas of improvement. However, I also know I’ve been one of the key persons cleaning the kitchen as a whole. Many times people say they are happy the kitchen is clean because I was the one that cleaned it. Tricky situation, and yes petty. But, interesting and complex. I have had situations now where I’ve been held accountable and struggle to accept it. Often times the situation contains more complexity than the accuser thinks. It often feels that the accuser has more power. Now, I was a bit messy with dishes in the spring season. I’ll admit that. I was messy in the fridge too. But, here in the fall I know I’ve seen lots of growth. This conversation can only deepen that growth and help me align with my values of order and cleanliness Feinf pain, discomfort, vulnerability from feedback is crucial to growing. Doing so without shooting the messenger, creating needless deflective drama is a sign of maturity. It’s not entirely clear how just or unjust the Cristiscm was if my cleanliness. I felt that, 100% with regards to spring it’s fair. And that, I am much cleaner now. I can use the concepts of reach, permanence, and personalization, question my thoughts with Byron Katie’s the work. I can feel my emotions, accept them and let them go with Sedona method. I can observe thoughts feelings and emotions with Meta awareness and meta cognition. I can use a growth mindset. I can choose love instead of fear.

Cringe

@Keryo Koffa No, AI is not getting lively at all

The absurdity

This is a good one

Good music for a rest, recover and organize kinda day

Ai assisted contemplation. If you aren't doing it you are missing out.

Likely it would lead to devilry and foolishness

Trumps Tarifs are a joke

asking ChatGPT about the foundations of my teachings It seems like you’re compiling a range of concepts and teachers that encompass a holistic and integrated approach to personal growth, awareness, and spiritual development. Here's how these elements can align and support your journey: 1. **Mindfulness, Meta-Awareness, and Meta-Cognition**: - These concepts enhance **self-awareness** and help you step back from your thoughts and emotions, seeing them objectively. This can be integrated with **Qigong, Yoga, and Breathwork** to develop a mind-body connection that roots you in the present while fostering calm and clarity. 2. **Rational Cognitive Behavior (REBT)**: - **Albert Ellis' Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT)** aligns with **The Work of Byron Katie**, where thoughts are questioned and restructured to remove irrational beliefs. This enhances mental clarity and builds resilience to negative thinking. 3. **The Sedona Method & Love is Letting Go of Fear**: - These teachings help release emotional attachments and fears, paving the way for a more serene mindset. **Qigong** or **Breathwork** would beautifully complement these, as they also work on releasing blocked energy, promoting emotional freedom. 4. **Learned Optimism & Adversity Quotient**: - **Seligman’s Learned Optimism** offers tools to cultivate positive thinking patterns, improving your response to adversity. Paired with **non-violent communication**, this could increase emotional intelligence in interactions. 5. **The Teachings of Vernon Howard, Sadhguru, Krishnamurti, Osho**: - These teachers, while diverse in their approaches, all promote deep self-inquiry and spiritual awakening. Applying their teachings in a **Qigong** or **Yoga** practice could lead to profound insights and inner growth. 6. **Leo Gura, Deepak Chopra, Brene Brown**: - **Leo Gura** and **Deepak Chopra** integrate deep spiritual knowledge with practical methods. **Brene Brown's** work on vulnerability and authenticity can bring emotional depth to your practice, supporting personal and spiritual development. 7. **Non-Violent Communication**: - A key tool for harmonious relationships, **Non-Violent Communication (NVC)** ties into personal mindfulness, promoting conscious, empathetic communication with others, a principle that resonates well with spiritual practices like **Qigong** and **Breathwork**. By incorporating these principles into your life, you are creating a system of personal and spiritual development that touches on the mind, body, and emotions, aligning with your goal of holistic wellness and powerful living. How do you see integrating these into your Qigong business or personal life?
