Thought Art

I think a confusing thing is the ideas of Self and No Self. They can be actually similar if not the same. Ramana Maharishi speaks that when you let go of the Idea of I, and you see the self is an illusion you can discover the true I, and the true Self. Therefore, no self is the true self, sort of. Tricky tricky. A mature spiritual aspirant must teach beyond words.

Only sort of…. Not really a violation… but a finite aspect of truth pointing to something

@koops God gave me the thumbs up one time also

The Buddhist 4 Noble Truths and the 8 fold path are very practical for living a good life. When combined with studying other schools of though it serves as a solid pillar.

Right and wrong requires a bias. Right and wrong are essentially constructs. But, there are higher quality constructs that can be embodied. Such as love, truth, respecting of others, etc There is no right or wrong for say… but, there are principles and ways of living that are conducive to peaceful, healthy and loving relating to people, ourselves and our environment.

Cuz he wrote Without Me And Lose Yourself But low key, Kendrick is the greatest of all time

@shree DMT is more amazing

@Leo Gura Those make me explode into infinite fractals of elephants and rainbows coloured in cotton candy xylophones

There must be lights burning brighter somewhere Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue If I can dream of a better land Where all my brothers walk hand in hand Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true Oh why There must be peace and understanding sometime Strong winds of promise that will blow away the doubt and fear If I can dream of a warmer sun Where hope keeps shining on everyone Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear We're lost in a cloud With too much rain We're trapped in a world That's troubled with pain But as long as a man Has the strength to dream He can redeem his soul and fly Deep in my heart there's a trembling question Still I am sure that the answer, answer's gonna come somehow Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle, yeah And while I can think, while I can talk While I can stand, while I can walk While I can dream Oh, please let my dream Come true Right now Let it come true right now Oh yeah

I am going to do a review of my Qigong teacher training. I am going to write short essays on each of the key things I learned in my Qigong teacher training: 1. The 5 Elements 2. The Three Treasures 3. The Microcosmic Orbit 4. The Healing sounds I will also contemplate 1. What are the fundamentals? 2. What are the basic principles of Qigong? 3. What is a Qigong/ Toaist lifestyle? Then, I will create my first course and go through the process of sales copy, presale, sales process, sales funnel, closing sales, , sales calls maybe, course creation, executing on the course deliverables and then reflect on the success or failure of this. Then, I will review the principles of mastery and effective interaction, my clients wants and needs, noting any errors, I will focus on learning and experience and not number of sales only. I will continue creating and marketing courses until I have a successful evergreen product that sells regularly. I will continue to develop more comprehensive courses, workshops, etc

Leo talks a lot about how to increase your value as a guy in his How to get laid series.

Not all of Leo’s teachings will be applicable to me because I am unique. Also, I need to note and discover the unique personality quirks Leo has in his way of seeing and teaching. I need to avoid the trap of emulating him and instead create something unique and authentic to me. I need to verify information for myself, think for myself , and get direct experience in things for myself. I should be mindful when I am saying I know things I don’t know and when I am copy catting people.

@OBEler True: For me it’s been generally positive.

Next few books I will buy will be on sales, marketing, sales copy, handling objections, client journeys, email marketing etc.. This will build off of my marketing course investment which taught me a lot about sales funnels, copy writing etc

Pretty similar to my first experience but, I've had later trips where I didn't fully leave this reality and instead this reality changed dramatically. Like, a huge aztec face opened out of the walls and spoke to me.

Finally tried adding ground black pepper to my cinnamon and ginger tea. It's surpisingly good, really brings together the tea actually in terms of flavour but also warmness. Totally recommend if you live somewhere damp and cold.

@Yimpa stop adding unrelated posts

Tech like this doesn’t interest me at this point. However, if I could get some kinda augmented reality classes that helped me with planning, creating, building common place book, research and contemplation I may be interested

The way in which you relate to nature, environment, subtle energies, seasons, etc can have an affect on your being. To what extent I don’t know. There is value in meditating regardless of the direction you have I’d say.

I don’t know the things I haven’t had insight into or have yet to become conscious of.

If you want to access truth you must contradict yourself
