@Schizophonia UGH The Wilbur wig. Do you Ken, do you.

@StarStruck Says June on Shambala website/ I think it was pushed back. When I placed my preorder local book shop confirmed it was June

@NoN-RaTiOnAL Haha, yeah I am wondering what made him write it. I am hoping it's a refinement and more well laid out book than what I found some of his books to be. Though I haven't read them all, or any of them to completion. @SeaMonster There are degrees of wholeness I suppose. You could take an all or nothing lens but, perhaps there is a lens where people over time develop towards wholeness. Perhaps so many people are so fragmented that this degree of complete wholeness is radical in comparison. Which would make sense because most people are fragmented AF In the description of the book it says Ken calls it "Big Wholeness" Holons? Yeee braaaa

Namaste

What if something was so painful it looked evil and toxic? What would a mature view on women be? What if I was consuming a bunch of toxic media telling me lies and only showing me a small sliver of what was true? What if what was popularly shared on social media was actually a misrepresentation of women? What if I was wrong? What is the risk of admitting this to myself and others? How would I feel without these painful thoughts and stories I’ve been repeating? Is it true to make broad sweeping statements about a group or entire gender in this context? Deep under my pain and hate what do I desperately want but fear I can’t have it don’t deserve? Is it absolutely true I can’t get what I want? Is it absolutely true there isn’t goodness around me? If I really feel into this, am I holding double standards? Am I hiding from a truth I know is there deep down? Am I willing to admit I don’t know? Is it really true that I’m imperfect or broken in some way?

Remember that marketing course I was all upset about? Well, I worked through my bullshit and I am working with them again.

@Schizophonia Enjoy the exploration of you energy. Check out the presentations and talks I shared in this thread from my teacher Lee Holden.

It’s often very good experience if you use it to free yourself and learn how your mind works. It’s often best experience in that way. Though, it’s hard.

@Lila9 She told someone to fuck off and didn’t even get a warning point. I asked her not to respond because I thought she was gonna contribute to the thread being a worse conflict than it was. Not because of her gender solely. This thread is contextually sensitive. I had to make a judgment call in the moment, this isn’t an exact science. Of course, it’s up to her. But, I’d appreciate us working this out and sharing resources and constructive opinions. I don’t appreciate being demonized like that actually. Perhaps I could have communicated with her better, and I acknowledge that. I’m always growing as a person. — People have been making some meaningful contributions to this thread and I appreciate that. Posts about: 1. Self reflection 2. Self honesty 3. Vulnerability 4. Questioning thoughts and beliefs 5. Taking ownership of your triggers 6. Self love and self forgiveness.. 7. Introspection 8. Healthy relating 9. Dating advice 10. Understanding People have posted about lots of positive things despite the conflict nature of this thread. I am bulldozing here for a reason.

@Schizophonia From what I can tell, it’s a combination of Acupressure actually affecting Qi and the body regulating of its energy, mindful and deliberate breathing and the placebo effect. Science has the placebo effect ass backwards. We’ve been taught it’s wrong but actually it’s the body’s inherent self healing ability. When you make a drug you need to control for the bodies ability to heal itself anyway when doing tests. It’s scandalous actually. Acupressure and Qigong were developed by hardcore meditators and healers.

@Schizophonia Thoughts? The deeper I go into Qigong and acupressure the more grateful I am, the better I feel. Glad you are exploring this powerful ancient practice. It’s for everyone.

Yeah, that’s true. It’s best he does as he wants. —

Good point, how does the mind construct such gross double standards? He has the keys to see out of his cage. You it’s only a matter of time he uses it.

@NoSelfSelf

@NoSelfSelf People are allowed to disagree on here. He didn’t say anything outright hateful on that post. He has already received a warning for this thread as he should have. Of course I think it’s important he receive warnings but, there are others in this thread who could have received warnings too. I realize we are in conflict and I’m disagreeing with you. Hopefully you’ll engage in respectful dialogue yourself instead of flexing

@Salvijus This is true There is sort of a paradox here though, We want to be able to see ourselves objectively and love even the darker aspects of ourselves ultimately it’s our choice how we live, It is a good question why would we want to keep toxic mental habits and constructions and not objectively view them from our higher self? —-

@bebotalk I’m not judging you. I am very imperfect too

@bebotalk would you like the thread open or locked?

@Sugarcoat He is saying, I think that you also react to people sometimes in unkind ways. Which, we all do.

@Sugarcoat Well, books have an effect on people, text messages do, ads do, videos do, The forum does have an effect on it’s users. It won’t change over night but what we are doing in this thread is collectively addressing this issue of our misperceptions. Time and consciousness will tell

@Sugarcoat True, We should all be strong in our truth and respect others. Can’t control bitterness of others
