I was going to point this out in my own twisted words but yours are far more succint. I would have said 'Okay, but you will end up jabbering to only yourself locked in a room'

Fresh prince of bell air. The office. Parks and recreation. Friends. Seinfeld. 30 Rock. Gilmore girls. Arrested development. CSI. Greys anatomy. Curb your enthusiasm. Malcom in the middle. How I met your mother.

This is like the pot calling the kettle black. Again - COME ON. I am being the voice of reason here. Everything presented so far has been hearsay! You look at remote viewing, past lives, non-local awareness. There is significant and provoking findings there. Reptilians? Theres a huge jump there and some irresponsible epistemology. Zero evidence. If evidence did come out? Cool okay, we have reptilians n shit. But you have NOTHING.

- inability to sit with, and endure discomfort - low resilince But these could be simple functions of a lack of experience. The gen Z employees I have trained show way different responses to older folks. They tend to get rattled by frustration really easily. It's so hard to work out of it is maturity or a generational change....

This is a judgement. It misses the point. Trauma can change where you derive meaning. People who have overcome trauma aren't necessarily glorifying it, but reclaiming sovereignty and authorship from something that once stripped them of control. It doesn't have to have any attachment to a story involved for it to change trajectory. In the end much of this work is about dissolving conditioning - which can be trauma.

This is a great share and reflects a lot of my own journey. Just in a different domain. I feel a great motivation and compulsion to prevent physical, sexual and emotional abuse in my workplace and in interpersonal relationships. Healing also taught me how important boundaries are to wellbeing and our ability to serve ourselves first, so we can always be there for, and give back to, others. Be our best for others. And this means never abandoning ourselves. We put on our own oxygen mask in a flight emergency first. I often step in to prevent abuse and issues. But not at my own expense and always best outcome mutually. I myself, previously, took a lot of pride in my ability to withstand negative pressure and environments. Pride in my resilience. But this pride was something I had to learn to discard as often people make themselves martyrs. And it has the propensity to enable abuse that can cause trauma 'I can handle his violence'. Many people fall prey to taking pride in their ability to withstand abuse. I tend to reach out and assist those who display those previous traits I had, to prevent unconscious trauma. Sometimes I cannot stop myself. Healing from trauma can give one a saviour complex that can also be detrimental in other ways. It is a good warning not to make ones healing from trauma (and attachment to story) a huge focus. It can hold us back in other ways we do not foresee.

See here: Discussed extensively in the post above.

@integral Thats fair - I just note that is not typically what most people refer to as their definition of trauma. Samskara is a good word for it - an emotional echo that leaves a malfunctioning pattern in our thinking and behaviour after the event. Like a broken program running on a loop, inhibiting the sufferer from functioning. I think it physical and emotional trauma should be a distinction. For example - I have a TBI. Physical trauma. I also had CPTSD.

I am not sure about that. I was terribly damaged and non-functional as a result of what I endured. It was diagnosed as CPTSD by medical professionals. I have since healed recovered from CPTSD. Does this mean I did not suffer a traumatic event? Trauma is not an official, formal diagnosis. Trauma is a deeply distressing event that overwhelms an individual’s ability to cope. @Lila9 100%

It can go both ways. It appears to be linked to genetics (how we respond, which predispositions are activated). Some people recover and others do not. Sink or swim. The trauma I suffered made me who I am today - and I am infinitely stronger and have a better idea of who I am. What I am capable of. And where my limits are. My siblings all endured the same situation that lead to the trauma - but two of them ended up addicts, with severe panic disorders, anxiety and CPTSD. My younger brother and I walked away okay. How each person responds is totally different.

They didn't cause the rage. You did.

Whaaaaat!? Do you think you would have a different experience (IE deeper, more gravity) if you had watched Breaking Bad then Better Call Saul?

@Breakingthewall unsure what you are trying to communicate.

Equal for me - symbiotic. I treat them as one big series.

I shall take up the mantle of sacrifice and report anything noteworthy 🥹💀

Honestly, I feel stupid for being so pig headed - but I hate the name of it also 😭

@Ramasta9 I think I am pointing to - where is the evidence? These are all hearsay accounts as far as I see it. How do we know it is not a giant echo chamber with nothing tangible behind it all? I notice patterns also - this does not always mean something is real. Our minds fill in gaps - our minds actually make stuff up to fill in these gaps. And without real, direct evidence to substantiate these claims other than 'vibes' - what do we actually have?

Nice. Melbourne restaurant.

Can you show me?

@Leo Gura @Carl-Richard hly chit STAHP Dead. Sides. GONE Couldn't get into Pluribus, personally.

...that you cannot believe is still free? For me its VLC, Blender. ffMPEG, OBS and Linux (to name what I use currently)

This is such a common conspiracy theory I simply never trust that any reading as such is genuine. It is like Chinese whispers heard from one person and then projected to the next. If you described the vibe you got using sensation and feeling details I would find it legit. But just slapping the reptilian distinction on it screams conspiracy woo. 100% it's just picked up from someone else. This is an interpretation. I would consider described sense data as much more accurate. And this is coming from someone who has had experience with the Mantis beings. It's not like I don't know there are other beings out there. But I question legitimacy when it's an 'evil' entity label literally everyone defaults to.

I accept your apology, but I don't accept condescension. I am not trying to undermine you or claim you 'need' to maintain a 'stance' or that you might be 'attached' to an identity. I don't need reassurance that I might feel destabilized by your worldview; I need you to recognise a boundary. We can respect that without the need to condescend.

@YIDIRYIDIR sounds like 'play' mindset? Leo has some great advice around that - a few blog posts floating here and there too!
