🥰 Joe Hudson's stuff does something. I get this beautiful, heavy-but-light as a feather weight in my chest. Like I am opening up ro receive and connect. It sounds so hokey but it is real heart connection. I turned away from a lot of self help because the richness of data mining and harvesting my own, normal, unremarkable existence became a fascination I feel like I neglected for a long time. Nature. Biking, moving my body! The air in my lungs... The change in sounds as dusk approaches... Man just moving the body and feeling it all is the best sensation!!!! Wherever I am - there is actually no where else I would rather be ❤️

I haven't watched it - but I will. Thought I would share. Despite my issues with Jubilee and it's format (+turd moderation)... Discuss

Stuff your bureaucracy! Right in the paperwork!

Overall I find the certainty telepathy CANNOT exist or be possible as concerning as the idea of it being a possibility.

@Inliytened1 Cuddle puddle was used on me - to great affect. Probably a good phrase for the gentleman who want to woo the ladies "Movie and a cuddle puddle?" I SEDUCE MYSELF!

Tell me. If you could choose what you want to hear more from a partner: "I deeply respect you" or "I deeply love you" I do think there will be overlap depending on how we define romantic love - this is about what you want to hear more from a woman.

"There is an objective reality. We experience reality through our senses. Therefore, our experience is of objective reality." This has carries a large logical leap between the second two statements....

@Inliytened1 Raw, fiery, carnal passion and hot chocolate cuddle-puddles everlasting!!

How the fuck can I even escape concept?!?!?! I feel like claiming I can would be dishonest

We may have directly experienced the absence of distinctions between self and world, or the immediacy of experience itself. But the conclusion 'only my mind exists' is still a conceptual interpretation layered onto that experience.

I agree with the above. The bro circle-jerk. I find very little information regarding personal development that resonates. I am, instead, delving into my own emotions and feelings and how I relate to them. I cannot do this and listen to anything. Reading books I very much still do, though

I really appreciate Joe Hudson's work (many youtube interviews with him floating around). I note you expressed preference for nothing personal development related (this is slightly in that direction). His main body of work focuses on emotions - His central idea is that people are often blocked not by lack of intelligence or strategy, but by unprocessed emotions and avoidance. So feeling emotions fully rather than suppressing or controlling them. Seeing emotions as information rather than problems. Developing the capacity to stay present with discomfort , moving from fear-based behaviour into authentic action. Some of his interviews with Chris Williamson really kicked me in the guts. Embodiment and grounding is a huge arena for growth on these forums. I make no assumptions about your current mastery - this is just what came to mind when thinking about you.

Consistency in general across all domains of romantic relationships - or as it applies to both respect / love? A mature & secure response - consistency is one of the best raw communicators of authenticity. For me coherence trumps consistency, as consistency could be... consistently a piece of shit. LOL

I think it is a subtle way of implying anyone that has not "awoken" is deceived by some ruse. It is rhetoric to engage and leverage emotions, over logic. Regardless of the actual facts of the matter.

The psychological certainty of an experience is not the same thing as evidence that the experience accurately represents reality.

Kangaroo kick KO

@Elliott Compartmentalise to subcontractors

If only we could harness that leg and arm power. Being kicked by a kangaroo while they balance on their tail has enough force to gut a man.

I think when you make the leap to consciousness it becomes a bit harder to argue There is a lot of neuroscience out there that indicates emotion/feeling is required to make decisions (coupled with logic, pattern recognition etc). This is the value / preference assessment of intelligence. AGI would, in my mind, need to be some sort of simulacrum of the human mind, complete with emotion/feelings centres - to be able to operate in the way people would expect.

I find some of the greatest leaders I have worked under - where reluctant to answer the call.

Intelligence requires emotion.

You made the right call. The substance of the arguments on both sides, as well as the vitriolic rhetoric, made for a poor listening experience. I listened to the entire thing, but only out of force (I was listening while interval cycle training on some very steep and dangerous hills, so I couldn't turn it off due to the intensity of the exercise). It was not a good use of my time, especially as I tend to absorb information much better while engaging in physical processes. The most heinous talking points were surrounding bodycount and reducing women's value to this metric.
