Quite literally in your face

Nah fuck it. I am not a coward. Cowardice happens when you don't believe in yourself. When I failed I let it get to me to call myself a failure. I am not. That's just how many times you need to fail to succeed. I was never a coward. When I analyze my life I have been a very brave person. It's only when I stopped believing in myself and my power that I began acting like a coward. Cowardice isn't only about acting despite fear but also believing in yourself. You're powerful until you forget. Where does 'I can't do it' or 'I can do it but I know I will give up' come from? It's due to a lack of faith in your own power. Yes you failed in the past and failed again. That failure is expected, it doesn't mean you can't do something, keep failing until you make it. We fail because we DARE to dream. DARE TO HOPE for a better future. This is my challenge. A PERSON WHO DARES FOR BETTER IS A PERSON WHO HAS BEATEN COWARDICE. That is the threshold for what it means to beat cowardice.

Hope is the key to unlock heaven. you've got this bro

Hoping you got the joke

Yeah it's complicated but it'd be foolish to think it'd ever be simple. It's reality we are talking about, this stuff is so complex it can make you go insane once you start getting in the nitty gritty. Nice, same here. pada 1.

Planetrary energies are defined very impersonally so it is hard to treat them like archetypes mapped onto human personalities. Example: Mars could mean brotherly love but also aggression. Is the aggression from a perspective of dharma or adharma? It gets tricky. So I draw a birth chart, decide on an ascendent and place the 9 planets around based on what I want. Example follow up: Mars in Capricorn 10th house: Now that is specifically a person who is good at getting shit done. But remember, that's different from Saturn in Libra because that one is also good at getting shit done.. just in a different way. I stopped believing in birth charts a while back, but I dont discount how useful the whole model is which developed over centuries and millenia. The best use case I get is I can notice what type of energy my life is currently embodying, so I can predict future stuff. Which can be counteracted through known rules. Example 2: "Damn, it's like whenever I try to do honest work to earn money, it always turns dishonest in some way. That sounds a lot like Rahu 10th House. Hmm. To counteract this I need some Jovian energy. Best place would be Jupiter 9th house. 9th house is the house of Dharma so one solution is "Guide my Rahu Ambition with Jovian Ethics" so I should probably decide on a set of principles. Oh wait, isnt 9th house also of the father and gurus? A jupiter in 9th would mean guidance from fathers and teachers. Let me seek moral guidance from them too, this would increase the Jovian 9th house influence in my life hopefully counteracting the Rahu 10th house energy!"

I do something similar but with the 9 vedic astrology planets instead.

what's wrong with emotions?

It has been 7 days since my last post. I broke the rule regarding posting at least 2 days. That's okay I'll try my best to not break it again. I did not study a single hour after that day. Again, I am wildly confused what it is. I think it is just burnout. I took a break today and hanged out with some friends. I am gonna start a new subject from tomorrow and see if I find it novel enough. Overconsumption i.e. gluttony really traps you in dopamine and kills creativity. I am gonna try my best to not be gluttonous until I do some productive work tomorrow. Gluttony often leads to cowardice and sloth. Actually, when I get my work done for the day I am not a coward at all in all other aspects of life. I dare to begin new things and talk to many new people outside. Think up business ideas and ways to earn. Cowardice is not inherent in this particular case as would be for something like entering a dark part of the house. (If you are scared of the dark) It's the feeling of having given up on all other aspects of life because you failed today at one aspect you valued. For me that means studying. If I have not studied today to a satisfactory degree and did other productive work which invests in my future- I feel wildly unmotivated for anything else in life. Which leaves only gluttony as the default. So you're telling me that I get all upset if I don't get my work done for the day? That's the opposite of sloth! I have been punishing myself enough for not being productive, I don't need any more negative reinforcement. The reason I still don't do the work is just plain burnout after having studied the same subject for 5 months. This is my guess for now. What exactly is burnout? Topic for another day.

I used to think myself a diamond rare unique inside a sea of coal banal submerged below; "I breathe no common air! await I do to rise and show them all" Await I did yet came no call esteemed I wasted youth: "I'm not a normal schmuck" "The game is rigged!" I cried I cursed I screamed I trapped myself "I must possess no luck" "Be perfect now, or else do not begin" I stayed afraid of change within my realm It came to me a bit too late within the truth the guts it takes to be a gem Expel the dirt the earthly stain in coal Then suffer deep as hero pure

Existence is liminal. Reality is always at a threshold; it's always between something, yet there is nothing to be between. It's at its own threshold and transforms continuously. Reality is an edge, but that edge doesn't lead anywhere, nor is it made of anything. Edges are not real things. The things they transition between are. Yet reality is a transition, between nothing and nothing.

FUck yeah!

I definitely think groups of minds can affect reality much more than individual ones (assuming all to be similarly conscious). But here's what I have figured out so far about psychic stuff: True paranormal demands liminality to manifest. Confusion, uncertainty, strangeness. This is why the dark is associated with it far more heavily than the light. It is in that uncertainty where your mind starts to make shit up. Snakes in ropes, Ghosts in robes. But, at some point among the chaos emerges something real. Something that can be experienced by others. You see the use of liminality in many occult rituals and religious practices. Liminality is KEY to anything beyond the normal. In my opinion, enlightened people gain siddhis because they perceive the inherent liminality of existence for so long something emerges.
