Thought Art

Are the lights out?

What did I just watch? This grossly over simplifies everything. I don't know. I find all these idealogical systems too limited. The law of one is interesting but I wouldn't go balls deep.

I feel a lot of anger and resentment towards my ex. When we started dating I introduced her to my idea for showcasing artists. She started helping me with my vision and project. We did a lot of great work and it was a lot of fun to create. We were able to help a lot of young artists showcase their talents. But, then she ended up moving back in with her ex boyfriend. So, I backed out of the relationship, and then what seems like a week later she was back with her exboyfriend. I felt like she strong armed me, and was likely cheating the whole time. I was so hurt and devastated I couldn't focus on the project. She continued to finish the showcase without me. My resentment boiled because this really messed me up emotionally and hurt my entire vision. I needed time to process and heal but she just kept going. Now she is still running it, with basically the exact same design that I came up with. I feel so much anger and resentment toward her and my ego keeps telling me that she stole my idea, and how evil she is and how 'bad' and 'awful' this is because it should be me, or me AND her running it because its my idea. Everytime I see her or the showcase, which is actually having a lot of success... thats right my life purpose is working but some girl stole it. Anyway, that's how my ego feels. But, I think if I don't reframe this, which I am working on doing today. It's just gonna eat me up. I can't change her. And I am glad artists are benefiting from my creativity. You can change the world, ahaha. Also, I need to remember why I did it in the first place. For the artists. I should be glad someone is doing that work. But, it should be me I am so passionate about that... Anyway, sharing this because others might be dealing with resentment too. Wondering how people process it, or what books are out there.

Totally see this in myself

Accurate. For me though, with breath of fire it filled my whole body.

People like to dance! to share, to get likes. It's human. Maybe it says something about a shadow you are suppressing? Would you like to dance?

Have you tried fabulous? https://www.thefabulous.co/ I was diagnosed with ADD as a kid... So I have been learning to overcome it as an adult and I found this app helped me install the habit infrastructure I now use. Also, check out Bullet Journaling by Ryder Carrol. He has ADD and invented this journaling system to organize and plan

I too am learning the power of active inactivity

@Alysssa Thank you

I sense I am making progress on it over the past few weeks. I've been journaling about it, speaking to my therapist and some friends. I also bought a book by called Total Forgiveness by a priest named R.T. Kendall which has been really good. I don't normally read christian material but there was a lot of really great ideas in there that have helped as well. I haven't felt resentment in really throughout august. It tends to come up without warning, because I haven't fully forgiven. But I am learning about the grace and power of forgiveness with this book really well. I am developing a stronger psychology to deal with these things, more robust and increasing my AQ. When it happened and I felt wronged, it's reach seemed to destroy everything I loved. Which, was more my own paper thin psyche than her actions. Also, when all my mental walls close in on my I feel trapped. Part of me also noticed that on the other side of my resentment/ anger was more power and stability. Like, with David Hawkins map of consciousness I had to go through the anger, to reach the higher levels when I was feeling apathetic before. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. - Colossians 3:13 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us - 1 John 1:8 We all sin. Forgive, and be forgiven. Take your time.

Well, it appears it's do or die. So, who is going to take the lead? "Where are you going who did you ask?

Remember we are thinking long term life long learning for a reason! As a fool myself becoming wise, reality keeps humbling me.

Contemplate it. What happens if you don't brush your teeth? Sleep properly? Trip on psychedelics in an improper setting? Burn fossil fuels and raise cattle in factory farms? Reality may be ammoral, but morals have a strong survival basis.

This and so much more. Let the experience be what it is. You are going to learn so much. Our mental models tend to project how the future will be, but we really have no idea.

Up to you, your probably phsyically safe. But, they are trying to hook you.

Exactly, as you are becoming a sovereign, mature adult every has an opinion, and an asshole. Keep going! This is part of the journey.

There are many facets of awakening, insights and spiritual progress. The awakenings from psychedelics vs Kundalini yoga will be different I think. Yes, I will do a video explaining a "Breath of Fire" techninque that I did for 2 weeks and felt the energy rise up the spine. Very different than psychedelic awakening, or Qigong. They imo, all aid each other. I would say practicing Kundalini Yoga, Krya Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Qigong, Thai Qi and various types of meditation throughout your life (maybe just pick one for awhile, or pick some that are complimentary) are ideal for increasing your baseline state. Especially Qigong and taoist practice. There are many mountains, paths, and peaks on the spiritual path. They can be very different, or similar. Everything is connected.

No. If you say, take business you are building the basic infrastructure for you long term success. But, if you are serving coffee 8 hours a day.... good luck... in college you have flexibility, time, you can build skills like: 1. Planning 2. Time management 3. Deadlines 4. All the actual skills you are learning 5. team work 6. Being a leader 7. There are clubs you can join 8. Develping soft skills Lets say you spend 4 years doing engineering, and you spend 30 minutes to and hour each day thinking about life purpose and what you want to create. You would be developing such a strong agile mind capable of heavy lifting that someone stuck in wage slavery just cant. etc There are many dangers with Leo's work. For example, when we are too foolish to implement it wisely. Especially young people. So, like Idk. Instead of impulsively deciding something, plan, and like have these discussions with the forum and your parents first. Make a plan first. Why drop out of school if you don't even have an actual plan? When we are young, imo most of us lack the ability to make sound decisions, think long term, be mature, etc which is why school is there.

Hey, I made a video talking about the importance of clarity and groundedness in our spiritual pursuits. Let me know if it is okay to share here, and it not I will remove the thread. I love to see your thoughts on this as well!

Just to be clear again, this book has nothing to do with Sun gazing.. I've been reading deeper into the Book here Cosmic Nutrition. From what I can read so far I think this thing is a bible for superb health. They really paint a strong picture of what health looks like and how it's achieved. It lines up perfectly with my studies over the past 5 years. Highly recommend it if you are looking on developing to super human potential.

Just bought this book, wondering if anyone else is knowledgable about taoist nutrition. It seems pretty holistic so far. I am thinking it's a great mindset... Working on maintaining health simply through really taking care of your vehicle. It might be a little to harsh on western medicine but, I enjoy it the book so far overall. I think this holistic approach to health and preventing diseases caused by living out of alignment is pretty interesting. https://www.amazon.ca/Cosmic-Nutrition-Taoist-Approach-Longevity/dp/1594774706/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=cosmic+nutrition&qid=1628119572&sr=8-1

@Matthew85 Thank you for your feedback. I will check him out! I think I may recognize him from other videos I have seen.

Go do it. Bout to set a pomodoro right now actually. Then I am reading, planning, small stretch then bed ahah
