  1. @Erol I just looked up that book on amazon because I was unfamiliar with it and looked through the table of contents. It looks good, I might pick it up. I bet there will be a lot of overlap/similarities. Reviews seem positive as well Just reading the synopsis, he is definitely correct about lack of energy being caused by excessive tension in your body. Ralston also talks about this in his book. Its only when you release all tension that your energy can flow freely throughout your body. Tension = wasted energy
  2. Try this exercise. Stand in front of a mirror and try to feel every single muscle in your body and try to release all tension. Try to be in a constant state of release and letting go and try to feel every part of your body. I find it best to focus on your hands, fingers, and toes and then work up from there. What will tend to happen is your arms will tighten up and slowly start to raise unconsciously. Notice any tension and release. THERE IS ALWAYS A DEEPER LEVEL OF RELEASE/LETTING GO. Shut off all thoughts and just feel your body. Try for 10 minutes to start The best book for identifying with your body is "Zen Body Being" by Peter Ralston. I got this exercise from that and there are a bunch more, but the core of it is developing sensitivity to every tiny piece of your body, noticing the held tension, and releasing
  3. I went to the movies today and yesterday. I saw the new ethan coen movie "Drive Away Dolls", and then the oscar nominees "Poor Things" and "American Fiction" ^^ This was dissapointing. Pretty boring and pointless, although some funny moments. 5/10 ^^^ This was definitely deserving of a nomination. Great performances, cinematography, and story. A new take on frankenstein? although it was based on a book. 8+/10 ^^^ I also enjoyed this one. Very funny and had an interesting message. Only negative was a kind of boring side story. Also based on a book (interesting how 3 or 4 of the oscar movies this year were based on books) 7.5/10 I am probably going to see Anatomy of a Fall this weekend ^^^ Also watched this yesterday. Great advice. Just cut out all of the pettiness and human bullshit and just focus on doing great work and providing value. Anything else is a distraction from your true purpose
  4. Its not that Im lazy, its just that I dont care
  5. ^^^ Quintessence of life
  6. Ive done it a couple times. I also threw up the first time, but that was a few hours after I took it. I felt a sort of body high as well and felt way more sociable. Never experienced waves of fear though. I probably wont do it again, If I did i would probably go for Kava which im pretty sure is derived from kratom. As many have said, its pretty addictive and ive heard of people being hooked on it similar to painkillers
  7. "This isnt nam, its bowling. There are rules" lmao
  8. @OBEler Ive heard that tripping on a combo of vitamin D, vitamin C, B12, and some time in nature can cure it
  9. Cool Movie ^^^ Ive been thinking a lot about this movie. I watched it again today.
  10. I think this. They wouldnt need to speak, they would recognize each others awakening just upon seeing each other and sit in silence because there is nothing for them to talk about. 6 Buddhas could be a different story...
  11. @erik8lrl I like David Shapiro but he is a techno optimist. He literally said last year when ChatGPT came out that we would have AGI by mid 2023, end of 2023 at the latest. Like Leo said, we dont even have a car that can properly drive itself yet. AGI is 10+ years away if it is even possible
  12. This was also my first thought. When this is available to the public, a good writer will basically be able to start their own film studio for 1/1000th the price of todays costs
  13. Unchecked ambition and an infinite budget to engage in your own mental mastabatorium Agonizing ^^^ Two legends reunite
  14. We are all collectively the messiah
  15. No Boundary -> Integral spirituality + integral psychology -> brief history of everything -> Sex, ecology, spirituality -> the Religion of Tomorrow
  16. ^^^ BANGER video. Many insights into attraction, marketing, and society ^^^ One day I will build the perfect city Did some work today
  17. ^^ This is sick. I want to find a way to do this with film. I think of horton hears a who, where theres an entire world living in a flower. ^^ I want to learn a lot of languages, like 10+. 1. French 2. Spanish 3. Portugeuse 4. Italian 5. German 6. Russian 7. Japanese 8. Swedish 9. Turkish 10. Korean. From my research, it seems that you can get conversationally fluent in like 3 months for any language (moreso for those close to english) if you go hard and immerse yourself in the culture and get like 8-12+ hours of "comprehensible input" per day. I want to travel europe by the time I am 30. And also road trip around USA.
  18. Alex Hormozi - distills complex business principles into clear articulate ideas that a middle schooler could understand Dan Koe - most of his vids are just baby actualized lectures, but he does speak very articulately and thoughtfully Andrew Tate- I hate him, but you may actually able to take some lessons from his strong and persuasive speaking style Maybe some pro podcasters like Tim Ferriss and Chris Williamson Many good recs from others too like schmactenberger and jordan peterson
  19. I couldnt believe that video when i first saw it. Upon closer inspection, it much more plausible. When looking at the full length videos, you can see that she focuses on one drawing at a time and when its timelapsed, it looks as if its all at the same time. Still incredibly impressive, but much more fathomable. The stamina to do this for 9+ hours wow. A true master able to draw upside down as well
  20. I haven been updating due to school and tripping. Ive tripped 3 times over past couple weeks every friday. Crazy insights. Ive mostly been writing down in a physical journal. I will probably still use this as a inspiration/vision board. ^^^ Big insight was into my life purpose. I realized almost all of what I want to do boils down to being a great writer. With being a great writer ill be able to be write great screenplays, books, blog posts, standup comedy, youtube videos, sales copy, music, etc. ^^^ Isaac Asimov wrote over 200 books and collaborated on close to 500. The secret was just relentless consistency of a minimum of 1000 words a day. He said later in his career that he wrote 2000 words a day. SImple mathematics of constant effort. If I write 1000 words a day starting today, by the time im 60, ill have written the equivalent of like 100 books. I wrote 1000 words yesterday, but it was for a school essay, the essay was pretty good though so I count it as some skill improvement. I started reading the book, the artists way, and it gave the exercise of morning pages where you write 3 pages pen and paper stream of consciousness style first thing in the morning. I am going to start doing this.
