  1. ... its gotten worse. The censorship is fucked. You guys here crying about bUt My MaSCulInE VoICe, ThIS FoRuM iSn't AbOut TruTH, CAn't spEaK my tRuTh, toO muCh TrUth foR tHiS pLAcE!!! Exhibit A:
  2. 100% which is why, if anything, masochism would be the best fit But we can go further and do away with masochism entirely - its just sensation, data to harvest, experience - for God. There is no judgement. No good or bad. No unwanted experience. No unwanted thing
  3. But don't we do this all the time when we conceptualise and define things from the relative / absolute domains? That distinction exists for precisely the reason we are having issue with - definitions change when you flip between relative/absolute. I suppose your premise is being defined from the relative domain?
  4. Overthinking, overanalysing, separates the body from the mind. Explanation =/= understanding.
  5. For the love of all things holy - someone convince me not to line the pockets of Nintendo with my cash... The more videos of this remake I see, the more of a fucking thirst trap it is becoming for me I have a lot of equipment I can sell to make it cost neutral.... some of my mental gymnastics to justify the Switch 2. FUCK
  6. For me it is my business - top priority. I have a small team that rely on me who won't get fed, go home safe and flourish if I don't do my job (and tracking is half of that). I employ others to track some of the below and I do so myself also. Professionally: - Finances, overall for the business and individually for each project (have to for the client and for control of the job). - Gantt chart and and project programs. Master program for each build (needs adjusting daily) and forecasts (weekly reports for state/federal clients) - Registers for consumables ordering and tracking logistics - Subcontractor contract/claim tracking Personally: - Fitness. I log all my workouts and keep records (Strava) + Garmin. I log my resistance training and max weigh progression - Health metrics in a spreadsheet (RHR, HRV, Sleep, Cycles, breathing, temp). Nutrition - logging changes, meal timing and mood. - Meditation: I note how I felt. Insights. What came up. What I was stuck on etc. - Image tracking: I take the same image of the same sunrise/sunset each day, file and timestamp them, and compile them. Mindfulness I guess ____ I didn't think I tracked a lot, but it appears I do when I read the above! That's Te for SURE (this is the typology topic, gotta circle back!). I love tweaking different metrics and looking at long term patterns and results. I practice Vipassana body scanning so I love altering what I input/output body wise and interocepting the results. Mood, breathing, energy, focus, cognitive bandwidth, sleep - all these things are affected with the smallest change. I wasn't always so sensitive and able to notice these things. Since really engaging in hardcore spirituality practice and dissolving a lot of conditioning I notice a lot more in my sensory experience that was previously blocked out. There is less in the way of direct experience that prevents me accessing what IS. I don't get in my way anymore. For these reasons I believe spirituality, truth, no-self, God realization, epistemology and philosophy are the key to unlocking a state of effortless power. It has been that way for me. Especially after No-Self, and God realization. Two distinct collapses of the subject-object duality: one to realise object-object is all (no subject, No-Self) and the second to see self in all (only subject, God realization). Both were energetic releases: like all the internal resistance in a gear system just disappearing. Effortless power. I attribute Truth to unlocking my ability to execute. I was not like this at all prior. Permanent shift in baseline consciousness if you will.
  7. I don't mind AI art per se - it is when credit/compensation is not given to the artists that fed the models that I have a problem. Removed of that, it gives people access to creative direction and output that previously would have a gatekeep of years of study, practice and dedication. It is a short circuit to achievement (if that output is the only desire, and process is not). I happen to be very process driven. The result is a nice surprise, but not guaranteed. So my attachment and addiction is to the process This is an excellent strategy I wish more actualizers engaged in. Tracking and measuring. What's measured makes progress. It might feel like all data, manual input and numbers - but it can be a very easy way to access gratitude as it triggers relfection "look how far I have come". It also can really circle back and feed our sense of accomplishment even when we haven't reached our end goal: we can see we might be half way there. Because I am a project manager you can imagine how much I track I started accomplishing more when I engaged in this habit.
  8. Thank you Do you think your creativity is manifested through your social media work, or do you have a dedicated more typical artistic hobby?
  9. Do we have one? Rolling. Post that shit. Shorts, reels, tick-tock turds. Do your worst short format. Boomer cringe. I love the spittle on the guys mouth 🤮🤢 https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS45V1Enf/
  10. Analysis of channeling with a skeptical lean - covers Bashar:
  11. Definitely. I have integrated and healed from much of it. And I am very proud of this. Sometimes echoes remain. But I am much better at processing my emotions, understanding my own and others, and letting go. Unprocessed emotions for me, were states taking hold, where the compulsion to act them out or follow them was irresistible / impossible. Processed emotions are genuinely feeling them, and not being overtaken in the same way. No need to act them out. I am comfortable in all ranges of feeling and emotion. As a result, the hypervigilant state I was previously locked in has abated. The forced attention to emotions and feelings of others is not there. However, I understand the mechanics and where I may play a role in contributing / affecting others (as opposed to always feeling responsible for the emotions of others). Now I enjoy learning about the "why" and meaning of others relationally. Always as a genuine curiosity - and to try to work out how best I can apply myself to assist in their growth.
  12. My GOD. It's giving "blood boy" vampire Bryan Johnson Extract the blood after trapping for nourishment. *shudders*
  13. I share a lot of crossover. I grew up in a volatile and traumatic environment. Accurately and quickly scanning, analysing and profiling behaviour for mood, temperament and affect was necessary as a matter of survival. I had to figure out if I was in danger very quickly (I raise this not to elicit compassion or sympathy, just as an explanatory mechanism). In addition, I had a lot of societal conditioning to place more emphasis on the wellbeing and emotional care for others due to being born female. It is the default expectation. But paying attention to feelings, vibe, harmony and others wellbeing was a draining process. Not natural to me. This effectively fooled me into thinking I was a stronger feeling type for a long time.
  14. I see jumping between conceptual domains, generating analogies, alternative interpretations. Lots of hodge-podge combining of alternate ideas and holding space for concepts/thoughts without an immediate commitment. Carl also has a habit of distinguishing the model from the thing being modelled. Always taking a topic and opening the concepts out to a big tree of branches. I am no typologist, these are just the things he does by default I find it fun to rub brains with his flavour of Ne! @Carl-Richard
  15. Ne user. My initial thoughts when interacting with you
  16. Prune the fuck out of the shit. I actually apply this sort of thinking to my creative art pursuits now I think on it. I want to render the impression of something with the absolute BARE minimum amount of line, shade, colour to form the appearance of something. Sometimes when you look closely at my oil paintings they don't make sense visually and look totally incomplete - only to step back for the illusion to take hold. I'll work out every shortcut and trick to fool the eye and play of how the human visual system works to create and effect. One thing that used to catch me off guard about MBTI was that I was artistic and it didn't "fit" the INTJ type description - this was prior to really trying to understand the cognitive functions. IE below - the rendering of the pearl close up is literally completely insubstantial. Just a blob of titanium white and a vague outline that isn't even filled in (bare minimum) then you pull back and it is part of Vermeer's expert rendering and skill:
  17. I am only happy when the build is going as planned. Solutions are scrambles that just need to work and meet compliance - fuck all other details. @LordFall How do you feel when you cannot make sense of something?
  18. We need to crush his Ti with the universal, juggernaut Ni web 😈 Bury him in recursive questions - that'll do it. Meta on meta
  19. If you enjoy the 4 letter typology stuff I think you would love learning about the cognitive functions behind the system
  20. @eos_nyxia Maybe depending on what functions are currently being developed and levels of growth? Do you go by the cognitive functions or 4 letter label? In my experience there is a big difference - it was only after I read and fully understood the functions I was able to figure out my type (also @Joshe assisted there). The tests weren't very good. They could only tell me I was Ni dom.
  21. I've only met one other INTJ in my real life (my Dad!). 2 INTP's - I really admire how thorough and diligent their analysis, logical clarity and frameworks are. 1 ENTP - my GOD I love the combative, argumentative prowess.
  22. You just know this is the punk rock mad consciousness-scientist-explorer smoking under the fume hood ❤️ love it
