It is a really good way to operate IMO. At its base, it is being able to entertain and understand a view without any ego attachment to it. Similar to the the ability to reframe and view things from different angles - it gives you an edge when looking at complex topics. In particular, I think for concepts that span into the realms of paradoxes, strangeloops, tautologies, koans, contradictions, self-referential loops & oxymorons it is a HUGE boon. You can pick apart ideas and concepts without being limited, as you aren't attempting to verify a belief. Simply observing and thinking without looking to affirm some view. This can only be a boon in truth seeking, as generally, we see what we want to see. And seek to verify beliefs, rather than see truth.

I dislike DOACEO in general but this was great! Cheers

...As a nootropic Tell me your protocols? I've been taking 10g creatine monohydrate (unflavoured) a day (I am a small person) for brain benefits for 2 months. So far: increased focus increase memory retention zero energy dips through the day attention and complex task application + cognitive ability has improved MARKEDLY. Especially scheduling projects (working with lead times, processes, contractor schedules, delivery timing and dependancies) and unusual problems. I am finding solutions faster and able to execute with more efficiency. This process always involves research and learning as well as formulating a solution so it can be quite taxing. mood regulation lowered incidence of negative moods, especially stress resilience I smash a ridiculous amount of water with it. I haven't noticed any side effects - I am not experiencing any anxiety or water retention. For whatever reason my particular physiology is responding to it VERY well. Weights and running capacity are up. I eat only vegetables, fish, eggs, cottage cheese, nuts and some chicken. Occasional red meat. Drink tea and coffee. I do not consume a lot of meat. Other supplements: Liquid iron, K2 + Vit D + Magnesium & fish oil.

🎯 Agree with this take

Luis Elizondo also did the old 'publish a book' marketing trollop. Any of these government workers coming out making statements - this is controlled disclosure. Controlled. IE put through some filter that is obscuring shit. They are only saying - p - r - e - c - i - s - e - l - y - what they are allowed to say. Anyway ON TO THE TOPIC AT HAND! This was a good watch if anyone is keen: https://youtu.be/XG04I_vtQFA?si=DPxIMAdYugIVDTtk I never even considered the fact that these objects coming to a full stop amounting to 1000G force stoppage/momentum termination is actually mind blowing. Where the fuck did the energy go?

You were a bit unfairly targeted I think I am happy to wear responsibility as I was going for laughs with colourful language. I don't actually think there was any abuse of the mod position. As moderators we are allowed to have views and ideas. And I happen to have a lot of overlap with your views and dissecting users beliefs. The mod tag is a coincidence. But something to watch for as this can be misunderstood. In my defence I roasted the ideas/beliefs, there wasn't any namecalling. Crop dusting of sarcasm here and there...

🤪🤣

Right on queue

True true - I think rereading my post was a bit roasty, although when writing it wasn't meant that way, more trying to create humour with colourful language. OP is inserting Jesus into any topic they can, and are very closed off and unwilling to consider any contemplations - this is the problem I see. It is systematic and not isolated to this thread. Edited my response to remove the attempted humour / roast

I don't think it is about this. It is more - you might write one post a day - put some nice effort in. Post it - BOOM - gone when there is an error. Normally the forum/browser when reloaded will recall previous text input in the edit field, but users are losing posts to the nether. THAT, to me, is a larger loss than time spent on the forum

First mistake - you didn't know anything before knowing the concept of Jesus. A belief isn't truth. I don't mind the topics - but dude ,why are you trying to insert Jesus into every post. I am assuming you believe the afterlife is paradise only? No mention of hell. You were just talking about hell and how you dream about being a devil, torturing devils. Others are allowed to have different experiences of truth, even if it might not be correct. As long as they aren't following a belief and have direct experience - like your own experience of Jesus you keep repeating. But posting on these forums will always lead to experience and belief being questioned

Thanks for the share - interesting watch. I have noticed a proliferation of people I know going from Christian (born into it, no choice) > New Age > Christian. Some are just New Age > Christian. You see it on forums, real life, cults - tons of my family. In every case there is personal trauma / attachment issues / negative energy or mindset taken through the journey. The movement into New Age / Spirituality is done to try to 'heal' but the new age movement can tend toward bypassing and toxic positivity when trying to heal issues a good psychologist can attend to. So these individuals are taking their unhealed negativity and trauma to a belief system in the hopes it will 'fix' them. Then, when the beliefs they adopt don't work - they cast them off for a new set of beliefs. All the time carrying their trauma with them. And they turn on their old beliefs and demonise them. Not realising it was them doing it to themselves. 'New age is evil' And instead of looking to themselves and realising THEY are responsible for healing and wholeness (we are whole to begin with, these people do not realise it) they outsource it so they do not have to be responsible when some external element doesn't work. So an easy scapegoat to discard a concept and do away with the self hit of being 'wrong' ie ascribing to the 'wrong' beliefs. You can tell when someone is following this pattern because there is an intense emotional zealotry with proclaiming they have 'found healing' through their selected path. And a large propensity to want to push this onto others (there are many who do not push it onto others as well, but the proclamations and need to push speak to how desperately they wanted something to heal them). The self is happy it is correct again and wants others to see this. But this is hidden behind a 'desire for others to heal as well' and 'love'. But it is another form of attachment and outsourcing of sovereignty. There can even be a staunch refusal to admit not everyone needs the same things. Some people don't have trauma and don't feel this compulsion to be 'saved' and realise they have power within them. The whole time they carry their trauma and emotional negativity from one belief into the next, never addressing the real source (themselves, which they cannot admit they are doing as it would smash their ego to realise they generate their suffering). The elation and zeal is due to thinking themselves saved/healed/rescued and the ego's jubilation to have found the 'correct' belief. But they are the common factor... The flaw in the whole thing? We are all whole to begin with. We have all we need. We are the sky - open and pure - and just have to realise there are some clouds temporarily obscuring it. You (so to speak) just need to lift the clouds to reveal the sunlight that was always there. Blow away the clouds of belief to reveal the sun.

People read anything and trust it - especially the older generations who were used to proper journalism and vetting. Social media plays into this. Flood the zone with SHIT so people have no idea what is true and what isn't. It appeals to how they FEEL. And by hijacking peoples emotions like that you gain leverage to slowly boil their brains with insidious views. 90% of my family in 50+ age are all in support of Trump and what he is doing 'for' America. Australian BTW Disturbing is an understatement!

Going for a walk to the shops, no phone, no headphones, no devices. Just cash. Analogue style Fasting @UnbornTao this - you realise how much of your thoughts are devoted to food - the planning, the eating, the preparing, what to have, the shopping.... When I fast for 36hrs my mind is so free!

Try to directly address the questions without religious platitudes. You didn't answer anything or try to contemplate.

I do think if you are older or do not eat a lot of meat in your diet you will notice greater effects I am hoping some of the other users here have experimented with it - mostly because I didn't expect the effects

I had access to firearms on the farm I frequented as a kiddo even in Australia. But I don't think 'It's the culture' is a good argument.

The insufficient storage is insufficient-ing The en-shitification of business buyouts is... en-shitefying

Fucken PREACH. This

Gun control worked in Australia following Port Arthur - but I understand most Americans do not want to hear this argument. I personally feel gun laws should be tightened in America. Responsibility to handle firearms should be demonstrably proven.

Um, how do you know that wasn't the voice of God - that sounds like the devil... I think there is a genuine possibility you are putting your own concept onto an experience, corrupting it... Also doesn't YOU torturing demons make you a demon in your mind? That is what demons do...

@Dodo Always 😂 People want to feel and have power/dominion so desperately, they will chase any way to do so.

And what were your immediate perceptions and seeings of it as a child? Before you understood what it was - which you must admit you obtained later

If you never knew of this concept of hell or the devil - do you think you would have interpretated this experience the same? It would be difficult to say you didn't use concepts already in the mind to interpret the seeing with meaning. Attributing meaning where there is none is a common issue that can lead to a lot of internal discordance and mental distress

@lostingenosmaze Do you know what the self is? It might be of assistance to define what you know/believe. Sometimes information can be presented that banks on certain foundational knowledge.
