It is a challenge to maintain a regular habit. So often there is internal resistance to beginning the task. Once engaged it isn't so bad - and there is usually never regret after! I normally experience enhanced focus and wellbeing following a hard workout. It's only shit if you get injured or overtrain (overtraining is my issue).

I am glad to hear this!

@Cubbage I enjoy your speech patterns, pacing and accent - I recall noting that in your video for Majora's Mask while I was slicing up vegetables for dinner

I want that film to be good - but I am hesitant to get hyped. Pessimist in me >.<

I went through a phase - then I ran out of money. But I love performance cars. NA is my preference JUST for the engine note (but I have personally only owned turbo engine cars). I love the scream! Or a well maintained rotary... brrrrrr br br br br br

@EdgeGod900 You are so pessimistic. The humorous part is @Jirh and @Joshe typically clash and fight with me more than most on this forum (not in a bad way, in an intellectually stimulating and respectful one). You just need a cuddle!

Are we meant, or did we evolve, walking on shit that is smooth as fuck?

I have your questions noted down to answer next round

I reckon this is how it would work if I were speaking to you directly also I haven't ever spoken about them vocally so openly and within the context of actualized.org and similar nondual teachings. So sometimes there were some colloquial phrases used to fill in gaps while I considered. The contrast here is that I am well used to speaking in front of crowds, performing and hosting meetings with many stakeholders (but business related, clients and government ministers). So I have confidence in my conduct and no performance anxiety. I am happy to say "I don't know the answer - but I can get it if required". But this was VERY different. It was a direct accessing of a totally different aspect of my mind. Strange shit came out I didn't even plan on elucidating on. It was very, very fun and I am glad others got something out of it. Appreciate your words.

@Rigel Shoes might not be the source of the problem - they could be necessitated by the man man substrates (unnatural) we typically walk on. Could be either or.

@Joshe @Jirh Appreciate both of your inputs (outputs?) It is really crazy how differently I perceive interactions via voice as opposed to text. I am much more charitable to the person when listening / speaking as opposed to written communication. I often wonder if it works this way with others also. I assume it would be a spectrum rather than binary. I was less self conscious about my voice, tone, accent, expression & appearance compared to my actual language patterns. Certain repeated phrases I used made me want to put a staple gun to my face >.<

The compression. Rivals the power of a singularity >.< I think @LordFall is bisexual? If I am not mistaken.

It is horrible, though. I strongly dislike my accent. Round 2 interview I'll have a proper label mic so you will have clearer brutality in your ears... SHAZLICKS ON THE BARBY cu**

I do - but only once a day. I take her out 3x a day though. I have a shower + sink head with a gooseneck so it makes it easy to swish her feet. But you loose the cheeto feet smell! Yep, agree with this. I suppose if its just the home it is okay - considering we probably have enough pathogens/bacteria we encounter on the daily in the outside world. I could see the practice OP enquires about fuelling some poor souls OCD, though >.<

Shoes are cope I'm fucking raw dogging the pavement

Mods are out of control!!!

@Joshe Haha I love that .gif - Sidious compels you. Irresistible force We better get back on topic - AION likes to claim/attach to his threads and come in with pitchforks!

Cleanse yo eNerGies

Some people view taking off your shoes at the door as a rich spiritual and cultural tradition that symbolizes transitioning from the outside world into a clean, sacred, or protected space.

Full HAZMAT suit, decontamination airlock with laminar flow passthrough HVAC system to enter the house? deadass cope

I have slippers I use when in the house. But I have a dog. So - redundant.

It improves the muscle cell's ability to rapidly regenerate ATP, which is the immediate energy currency used for muscle contraction.

It would have to be a narrow scope of chemical activation - otherwise we might be caught "blue handed"

@Willy Phallicus You have too much bias operating on this issue to address facts without resorting to inference, assumption and extrapolation. I don't regard your reply as being of the sort of charitable quality I look for in truthful dialogue. Peace.

@Cubbage Empty of separateness, full of appearance. Empty as substance, full as experience. Empty of an independent self, full as the entire display.
