@thenondualtankie i mean the vegan mind is distinct from stage green.

it would be great to take a deep look at the homophobic mind to understand it and develop a wiser understanding of it.

lately was wondering about this, i asked claude 3, it said: "The five daily Islamic prayers (salah) can be viewed through a mystical lens, particularly in Sufi traditions. Here's how they relate to mysticism: Spiritual Connection: Each prayer is seen as an opportunity for direct communion with the Divine. The physical act of prayer is believed to align the body, mind, and soul towards God. Purification: The ritual ablution (wudu) before prayer is viewed as both physical and spiritual cleansing. Prayer itself is seen as purifying the soul from worldly attachments. Mindfulness and Presence: The fixed prayer times create regular intervals for spiritual reflection throughout the day. The focus required during prayer is a form of meditation, cultivating presence and awareness. Symbolism: The movements in prayer (standing, bowing, prostrating) are often interpreted symbolically. For example, prostration can represent complete submission to the Divine. Rhythmic Invocation: The repetitive nature of prayers, especially certain phrases, is similar to mantras in other mystical traditions. This repetition is believed to induce altered states of consciousness. Ascension: Some mystics view prayer as a spiritual ascension, mirroring the Prophet Muhammad's night journey (Isra and Mi'raj). Unveiling: Regular prayer is seen as a means to gradually unveil spiritual realities and gain deeper insights. Union with the Divine: The ultimate goal for many mystics is fana (annihilation of the self in God), which they believe can be achieved through devoted prayer. While these mystical interpretations are more pronounced in Sufi traditions, they're not exclusive to Sufism. Many Muslims find deeper spiritual meanings in their daily prayers, even if they don't explicitly frame it in mystical terms. It's important to note that while mystical interpretations exist, the five daily prayers remain a fundamental obligation for all Muslims, regardless of their inclination towards mysticism." if that is true, then serious muslims who prayed for years must be awake.

Certainly. Here are more examples of wise and foolish figures from history: Wise: 5. Leonardo da Vinci - Renaissance polymath and inventor 6. Eleanor Roosevelt - Diplomat and human rights advocate 7.

King Louis XVI of France - Indecisive ruler during the French Revolution 6. Neville Chamberlain - British Prime Minister known for appeasement policy before WWII 7. Emperor Caligula - Roman emperor infamous for erratic and tyrannical behavior 8. Bernie Madoff - Orchestrator of the largest Ponzi scheme in history 9. Xerxes I - Persian king who suffered a major defeat trying to conquer Greece 10. William Bligh - British naval officer whose poor leadership led to the mutiny on the Bounty generated by ai

Here's a concise comparison of some examples of wise and foolish people throughout history: Wise: Socrates - Greek philosopher known for critical thinking Confucius - Chinese philosopher who emphasized ethics and morality Marie Curie - Pioneering scientist who made groundbreaking discoveries in radioactivity Nelson Mandela - South African leader who fought against apartheid Foolish: Emperor Nero - Roman emperor known for extravagance and cruelty King John of England - Ineffective ruler who lost significant territory George Armstrong Custer - U.S. Army officer whose overconfidence led to a disastrous defeat Charles Ponzi - Perpetrator of a famous financial fraud scheme generated by ai

robert greene is someone i would consider wise. for having read some of his books he seems to have a lot of life experience.

iain mcgilchrist is pretty wise i would say. One thing that i have noticed about wise people is that they value wisdom a lot. it is pretty simple yet rare. a general rule to know if someone is wise or not, ask yourself the question does he value wisdom, and the way you know if he values wisdom is simply if he brings up the topic of wisdom often.

@Leo Gura yeah i see what you mean, but isn't the ideal to do both? go to the gym and talk to girls ?

@Leo Gura i mean don't girls like men who are fit and have a good physique ? i get it, most of the results in socializing and being good with women, come from massive social experience with women face to face. but still it's a nice bonus to be fit and have some muscles. also maybe within pick up it doesn't matter as much, but within other things like dating apps, it would be much more of an advantage.

@Leo Gura when are you gonna release how to get laid part 4 advanced insights and wisdom ? lmao

Oh God, almighty all loving, all wonderful, you're the one, the only your existence is miraculous, wonderful
