Just a post to apreciate the process of understanding. Wich is a superpower you have, always. Understanding makes your reality. Lack of understanding produces hell. Understanding is a key to heaven. Use your inner dialogue to understand stuff in your day to day. Understanding personal conflicts, curiosities, ambitions, anxiety. Anxiety literally disolves with understanding. You can train it the same way you get better at understanding a new language. Understanding is equal to imagination. So my advice is to spend more time understanding. Incorporate it as you would any habit.

Since you're Intelligence you can understand reality. This is a process of the highest Intelligence pouring through your finite capabilities. Understanding is connection. Connection is what brings happiness. Again, I love bringing day to day examples to actually learn more. For example you can't connect with someone you don't understand. Empathizing is exactly that. Evilry is not understanding other perspectives.

Microdosing cyanide is truly non-conformist.

For a lot of people is not a catastrophe. I know. Each generation live more years. I want to live 150~ years for good measure and I would hate to die today.

@Schizophonia Seriously, he ate like shit and was obese. Who knows how that will affect you later in life. I drank alcohol and smoked for probably a span of 5 years, sporadicaly, out of conformity. Let's see how it turns out.

Oh I did read that one. That's the power of this place, you read powerful insights that you get to integrate in your day to day. But the clincher of this one was the last paragraph of this post: https://www.actualized.org/insights/why-you-will-forgive-everyone

@LordFall Glad you like the post.

And taking it further, the foundation of any connection. Union is mutual understanding.

@UnbornTao We won!! I think they give us those island back now. Argentina vs España épico!

Oh, you would love the ambient noise right now before the big match with England. Specially with them since we have some beef because of an Island we both claim ours and went to war for it in the 80's.

If you want to know what conformity is, come to Argentina during a World Cup.

One simple example: you'll be a juicy target for scams and perverts.

Smartasses think they are choosing to smoke cigarettes and eat McDonalds. No, you've been fucking manipulated. Duh.

This is poor analysis. He'll probably get a wider lifespan, that has been happening as we have better technologies. His health problem is probably tied to his past. All of his current lifestyle is relatively recent.

His rethoric is just an excuse to improve health. Novel proyect. Death is natural though. No need to demonize it.

Your life is more important than the forum.

That's how cultish society is. You need thick skin if you want to reach the highest levels.

Self-deception is ugly. Be careful y'all.

Not even enough, I am just starting to see the points being made.

Great question. You have to ask and listen, ask and listen. Be with the question for long periods.

Attachment is what keeps me from awakening. I don't really want to awake. On the other hand can't wait to awaken. I wanna party!

Tripping near body of water, not a great idea.

Good question. They extracted capital like there was no tomorrow, milking the shit out of those poor countries which in turn fueled the industrial revolution. The problem is how they did it. They've left a scar in every country they put a foot on. But guilt is nonsense and cheap. Plus they were not the only empire. It is a good question asking in what ways it was dysfunctional.

@Joseph Maynor Thanks for those shares.

Opening the thread for more pratice talk. To me it is hard to think in terms of deliberate practice, since training is a messy process with many different phases. As you level up your skills you progressively transform your practice routine. I just try to orient my practice towards general goals. But it is almost guaranteed that you'll get good just by sheer volume. Constant repetition is crucial. No one can pin point exactly what makes you learn something. The only problem it can feel very draining. That's where I think the advice of practicing for a couple minutes a day comes in, because you're generating more stamina. Practicing to the point that it doesn't feel like work requires a build-up. Building familiarity is a powerful concept.
