@LordFall You are misunderstanding again. But it seems wilfully so?

This really comes across like a bad faith, uncharitable position to take regarding arguments.

Anyway what I am seeing is you consistently misunderstanding what others mean - either through others failure to express properly or your own interpretation. Doesn't matter. But that is what is happening here. And everywhere in almost all of your misunderstandings on the forum. If you want to still address things in the way you do - so be it. Your assumptions are really shooting you in the foot.

You honestly think it is a burden to ask clarifying questions so you can properly address someone's meaning? How people express themselves through the limitations of language and their context is always the biggest challenge to face - this is why really trying to clarify what is meant prior to assuming and then engaging is needed. It saves a lot of wasted energy and avoids confusion. Weird

My analogy does not require this. Higher perspective may change what the phenomenon means, what caused it, and whether the conceptual question you're asking about it remains coherent.

You consistently do not ask any questions around meaning - but you assume you understand. Why?

I have really tried to work on Se. Chaos is my undoing. I trust I can deal with whatever happens now. I know I can deal with chaos. I can deal with crazy shit falling on my lap. Working in construction really helped with mastering this domain. I had an ENTJ mentor who had some great advice "Just trust you will be able to deal with whatever comes your way, even if unplanned". I also practice vipassana meditation - body scanning. Yoga. Lots of body connection stuff. Endurance cycling or 60-70kms on the weekend. What sort of Se issues do you have?

Imagine say, a two dimensional being living on a perfectly flat surface and a sphere passes through their world. From their perspective they see a point appearing, then becoming a circle. The circle grows larger, then gets to a maximum size, shrinks down then becomes a point again and dissappearing. Your question (or premise) could be "what is causing this strange circle to change size?" or "it is a circle expanding and contracting". The question and the explanation do not address what is actually happening. The problem isn't that we are missing 2D information - the entire third dimension is missing. From 3 dimensions, the whole sequence is trivial: a sphere is moving through their plane. But if you tried to explain the sphere entirely in 2D terms, you'd be forced into increasingly strange explanations. The explanation requires a conceptual move that the existing framework cannot represent. Best analogy I can think of.

Some questions aren't difficult because the answer is complicated. They can simply be difficult because the question is being asked from within a conceptual frame that makes the answer impossible to see.

No worries I always like to go hard on both sides of a topic.

It shifts ones perspective - which can be hard to explicate.

It does if the arguement wouldn't even exist with wholeistic understanding.

The outfit she had one WAS costumey. Well coordinated - but costumey. Too well coordinated. The whole internet is becoming a sycophantic dick sucking slop hole 😂

@LordFall I am not trying to position myself above you in terms of awakenings. I apologise if it is coming across that way. I can see a lot of explanation here, but there isn't understanding being transmitted. I don't understand why you aren't asking more questions regarding what other users are stating. It really comes across like you assume you understand their meaning. That can be a huge mistake.

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/

It feels like this thread / premise is coming from a perspective that hasn't had a realisation, awakening, insight. This level of confusion is revealing this.

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

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?

Overthinking, overanalysing, separates the body from the mind. Explanation =/= understanding.

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

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.

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.

Thank you Do you think your creativity is manifested through your social media work, or do you have a dedicated more typical artistic hobby?
