I also find it extremely fascinating. I did some ammteure acting myself so this acting arose naturally but its not like I found some final answers. I dont think actors really deconstruct their old identity because they immediately take on a new one, so they are just shape shifters which makes their identity itself more fluid but maybe as an adaptation they more easily grasp onto things.

This is all very hard to talk about because we arent conscious of the whole mechanisms at play. At least I am not and I can feel it. So I just make an answer which brings me to the edge of my consciousness. After doing a lot of shadow work the questioning of wether one "is good or not", or wether "intentions or outcome carry more weight" loose significance because they are games that we collectively play in society because morality is fundamental to society and we also play these games with ourselves then as well. But when one tries to justify to themselves that they are good when they really arent their evilish way will manifest unconsciously anyways which is even worse. So you cant be good. You can just integrate more of your shadow which will paradoxically make you better. For me it was very hard to deconstruct my good guy ego. One of the emotionally hardest things in my life. And I am still not there yet at all but I made good progress.

Tried that, but then I slipped back into thinking I am good like the devil I am. How does one deeply integrate the acknowledgment that one is evil.

You arent conscious enough to see your true intentions. Your true intentions arent what you tell yourself what they are. You behave in devilish ways unconsciously. The more conscious you become of this the less the devil directs you. "air out the devil so he doesnt work in the dark" Idk about outcome. Reality is too complex to make simple connection of "this caused that" and its impossible to tell basically if what you did will turn out into something good or bad. I believe in the energy conversation act though, when you did something truthful, that will remain and manifest itself in this way somehow, how exactly nobody knows.

After watching the video I am contemplating the hunter gatherer lifestyle. I didnt even know that I could like that. Even though it seems a bit ideolized there really are great things about it like a short work week, healthy social integration, nature, rest, peace, equality. Its even pretty ethical, carnivores are needed to keep herbivores in check so humans could fill that role and do cleaner less painful kills. The calories coming from hunting were only 20-40% anyway. A lot of kids died but when they survived until 15 appearently many became 60 to 70 years old so it was a pretty healthy lifestyle. If modern modicine just helped out in a few key ways people could live just as long or longer then we do today. We could do so much cool shit on earth..

https://www.actualized.org/insights/actualized-quotes-183 Like with everything in spirituality its not about believing anything - like that you are evil, its about expanding your consciousness.

Is the feeling that I am good even though I am evil party created by my low state of consciousness itself, or is it only created by socialization (aka we all pretend to be nice to get benefits and deceive others and ourselves) ?

Putting this on my playlist haha.

photography idea I generated the basic idea, the prototype with chatgpt. I am not satisfied with it yet, maybe an actual snapshot could capture what I had in mind. Basically the seeds of the dandelion can kind of look like stars. In reality they dont like stars enough sadly so they need to be edited a bit. The picture could showcase a bit of an illusion, where the seeds look very similar to stars so they mix right in and that would create a feeling of transition and also connection between earth and the universe.

I used to be able to cut a quote in half with the paragraph key. It doesnt work anymore. Does anyone have similiar experiences? Its not a huge deal but it was kind of nice, especially when you want to shorten a quote and want to take the video or picture out at the end which isnt possible now.

Oh interesting, it still works on Safari on my Mac - I thought that was the real reason. I only recently transitioned to Firefox so I cant tell if it ever would have worked.

Do you mean who does the best speeches or who is best at doing the speaking? For the latter I would put Jordan Peterson on the top as he is just great at capturing an audience with his speaking ability. Oh Alan Watts also.

Very much agree with Applegarden. There are some great videos from Jordan Peterson as well. Haha its so refreshing to see him before he turned to the dark side, this is real gold. Somewhere in the internet there is a video where he talks about a female patient of him who is very socially anxious and he tolds her to basically keep exposing herself and while it was though she made insane progress in a short amount of time, she was basically unrecognizable after a few months. Cant find the video unfortunately but thats basically it, if you just keep at it you can change so much. This is also valueable: The power lies in the practice and not the theory though.

Begs the question if it could be added as a feature though? Of course only if its easy to do, its just a comfort thing at the end.

Oh that was it, you are right!

@Yimpa No, I cant highlight the picture and delete it. Maybe it works on other devices, on Mac it doesnt seem to be possible.

Kind of. I noticed splitting makes two things easy: 1) As I said when there is a video or picture right at the end you cant get your mouse under that and remove it so if you want to shorten a quote with a picture at the end this seems to be only possible with splitting. 2) Sometimes you want to respond to parts of the quote. You can work around that by quoting the whole quote multiple times and removing different parts of it, its less comfortable though. Its not a huge deal but I noticed the absence of that feature.

that one:

What do you mean by that?

Have you ever went to one of his workshops?

Thats actually very insightful, thanks for sharing. I didnt see all the possible mechanisms at play. Imagine someone shot with the gun in the air at that exact moment. Not at trump, just as a loud shocker. That would burn the slender tentacles who test the waters and dont yet have a strong grip on reality and what they can get away with. It would set the reaction tone from the very beginning. It would be in the news and would make many people aware of the hidden process going on very early.

I am asking that as well, but I think there are degrees of corruption. Critiquing corruption from a higher perspective is like a neccassary INTERIUM solution. Or you could be like Socrates and consciously die for truth.

I read it as existence as a form/ manifestation is already corruption which would include humans of course. Its a bit confusing to me though, are only thoughts meant by it or also physical objects? Like how can a rock (who is something) be corrupt and untrue from its soemthingness? For the mental realm it makes more sense though. But then I dont understand the following. Trying to make sense of reality in terms of concepts for example is a thing, as a concept is a thing. Yes the map is not the territory so whatever you speak about is a reference to something real and therefore not the real thing itself. So truth cannot be uttered and that might be absolutely true. But then there are some perspectives which are more true then other - or not? I guess the untrue perspectives are loaded with stuff while the more true perspectives try to say as little as possible but as much as necessary. Speaking in the direction of truth be like:

I felt a little sick the last couple of days. Interestingly though I kinda improve at socializing through that. My system just has less resources to work with and appearently oversensitivity takes up so much energy that it gets very noticable cut when I am sick. Not sure how that is for other people.

There are expensive microwaves with real steaming options not just imitations. They have an extra water tank and cost at least 500 dollars. Does anyone have it? How is the steaming option compared to normal steamers? How practical is it?
