Loneliness is an experience you are generating too. You are finding the loneliness within yourself and experiencing it. You don't have a default state you are infinity. In this reality, you can create an experience of yourself. If you want a joyful experience, you find the joy in yourself. If you feel this life lacks meaning, find meaning in yourself. If you want the experience of being connected, find the connections in yourself. You can have the complete opposite experience you are having now if you want to. You have the controls more now that's all, all that has changed is you've peeked behind the curtain a little. Infinity isn't ONE, or WHOLE either. Its everything. One, Whole, Many, Split, Blue, Red, Big, Tiny.

The last couple of decades: Leftwing Policies: What do you need? Rightwing Policies Who do we hate? Obviously, there is more to this, the right wing generally favored the wealthy and business, and the left generally favored the working class and worse off. That used to be true. Most are substandard policies because they are afraid of the word socialism, for example. https://www.politicalcompass.org/ Recently, the supposed left in most Western cultures have become center-right or rightwing parties, which explains dumb things like this: For something to be stable, it needs: Authoritarian, Socialist, Capitalist, and Libertarian pillars; the more of these it has in balanced quantities, the more effective it will be. Obviously the balance tips depending on the issue, but it still needs a balance. For example, the balance here in the video no matter the goal, is way off. Think about all the steps you could go through for an internet site or group, before you make a law. From social engagement with communities or therapies to closing the website or group, to better understanding the problem and helping individual people. (Teaching family values) No it's a law, and it's stupid. *This puts aside my bias of wanting to hear all views BTW, which is far preferable. If no calls to violence are being made, or criminal damage of some kind, then people should be able to express any opinion.

A pretty good summary, he expands on what I said with more information; there is not a lot new but it is well structured. For the Russians, a Mobilization from their preferred ethnicities or leaving the Donbas offensive.

Here are a few other perspectives, with a pro-Russian one at the bottom. Should leave Ukraine with some territory for trade, or at least a lot of damage to the Russian war infrastructure in the area.

Armenia leaves CSTO It's early for this news. but I've seen one pro-Russia source confirming it, but that's it so far. I imagine that much social unrest will suddenly happen in the country under pressure from Russia and BRICS, don't be surprised if that's the case. Two different sides of the story.

An Anxious Attachment Style: Video that might help: https://tealswan.com/legacyworkshops/n2018/stockholm1/?t=1330 More data: https://psychcentral.com/health/anxious-attachment-style-signs The video is specifically the kind of person you might attract, which might help to see the often attracted opposite (avoidant). YouTube has quite a lot of examples of Anxious Attachment styles, or the other types: like disorganized and avoidant etc. Hope it helps. For balance: It's not a bad thing to enjoy communication with someone you are interested in and look forward to them messaging you. That's part of a romantic relationship. I also understand anything can be taken too far, and if you crave and chase attention then yes that would be unhealthy. I felt it was important to try to put that in context for you.

I will say that if you meditate regularly and you have a busy mind-day, you can have thoughts and be peaceful at the same time, its almost like you have two minds at that point. The small chatter, but I can also feel the peace and my mind filling with an energy that feels like space or harmony which often stays with me through the day. I don't know what it is like for others, I tend to like to reach the color vortex, my mind's eye tends to be blue or purple when my focus is there. -

Allow the thoughts for a while. Be present with yourself, don't need to run, or resist. Feel what's there, go through what is in your mind or body, and allow it to fully be expressed. Realise you are allowing these thoughts and feeling, and your focus determines them, so focus on letting go, acceptance, love, supporting, being a friend to yourself, or breathing (other examples: whatever you need - want - can learn from - assist with - reassure - help or be helped by). Bring your thoughts and focus to this, don't fight it, surrender to it. Get in a peaceful environment free of distractions, or at least a peaceful space. - Eventually, this matters less, but I still like the back garden as it is pleasant, anything remote near water, or the clean room with no electronics indoors. It is mostly allowance, and surrender. Giving the self to the selfless. Experiencing more of your infinite self, and feeling/experiencing/being that. It can start as simple as bringing the mind to your breathing, and allowing whatever happens to happen. Some days I have a lot on my mind too, and that's okay, I am there with it. Infinity is there alongside the bill I have to pay, the emotion I feel, or the thing I wish had gone differently. Peace is there too and you become the peace, the stillness, and surrender those thoughts, those feelings and stresses to yourself. Don't fight it though, or else you'll experience fight, the stress of resistance to what is. -

@LordFall We already do receive infinity. Not slices. Try not to think in terms of purely size, infinity is also tiny. This moment is all that exists in your reality, you are experiencing it in its entirety right now. Which means you are experiencing infinity (yourself), and that is all that exists. Then we invent things in our mind that are possible or potential, but these don't exist because they are outside of our reality, they are concepts. I'll touch on this more in the ending below. Are there states of being where you can recall more information, yes. Are there states of being where you can perceive more, yes. But the receiving of infinity you are doing in its entirety right now. It is altering your bodies, your mind, your cells, your relationships, your choices, your distinctions etc. As we do to the AI (and it does to itself in its self-learning). If we want to fix on size or complexity (which is perhaps more helpful) Its true there is much stored outside of the memory to recall. I've touched on some things, the unconscious has a vast amount of data for you to access, and how and where things occur in life is crucial to remember as a factor, all the things that make your mind and your reality yours. So while I agree we can create anything. It doesn't make it more or less towards the absolute, because infinity doesn't have a size, dimension, form, amount, or nature, in its totality. Humanity is part absolute, part self, these are the two things we are talking about, the self can be fashioned in many ways, but the absolute half remains unquantifiable.

This touches on subjects that are hard to quantify (obviously ) Infinity, and put in a way we've not discussed much before. So there'll be obvious gaps here in my communication, but that's fun too. 1) Part of me wants to say all that exists is the moment you are having and if you are reading text, that is the universe. Along with the page, what it evokes inside you, the air around you, your emotional/energetic state, the feel of the paper, how and where it unfolds in life etc. I experience that all that exists is the observation of the current moment, if that's 1's and 0's then that is what it is. 2) Part of me wants to say that the potential of infinity is infinitely greater than the written word or an electronic impulse. If we consider AGI to be the process of adapting the AI itself, that we are doing to it, then I can consider we've reached it now because we are altering the shape of the machine internally and externally in its entirety in the ongoing process of receiving infinity. However, there is no 'superior' in an infinite state, the term doesn't make sense. If we consider AGI to be a fixed state you that you are trying to example to me, no, because no fixed form is able to receive infinitely. I've been wanting a way of wording this for a long time, and this is the best I have. In order to receive infinity the form has to be infinitely changing.

The responses a human produces are somewhat predictable and follow an ever-evolving pattern. The input a human receives is infinite. Our reality uses both these things to be what it is. Infinite complexity, infinite subjects, infinite connections, infinite variables, infinite calculations, infinite ways to structure the data etc. Yes also the output a human makes is infinite even if you can recognize a familiar tone or way of being. Receiving an infinite amount of something is not going to be possible in a fixed form. You are not a fixed form. Until they can make the AI actually adapt itself physically to receive infinity, just like your body, life, cells, social groups, mind, distinctions, consciousness etc does, then it cannot receive infinity. Vortex maths is far superior to regular math; It may require using life's building blocks to better imitate life. Imitate, because that can still be patterned, modeled and improved. The process of improving AI is the closest we'll get to an AGI imho.

Good luck to you. The word you picked: Deal. Makes me want to say be easier on yourself, and be a good friend to yourself.

BlueOak replied to Capital's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Anything can be expanded in your mind to infinity and forever. Don't just think in terms of physical size, the reality you create to experience and understand is a lot more than a physical dimension of size. A quick example: This topic can be expanded forever or it can be ended by a moderator right after this post. Everything 'can be' infinite, because you are, it can also end because 'ending' is a concept in infinity that we've defined. So yes, whatever concept of god you want to label can be infinite, so can the emotion you are experiencing, or the business you want to run, your love for a sport, the relating you can do with someone or toward something, the ways to perceive a planet or the nature of the universe, understanding the living ocean, etc This is all done in your head. I am not pulling strings in your head. So it's in one mind. Yours -
Yes on the deepest level there is no life. If you do nothing, there is nothing but the experience and observation of it. The response above was great advice for how that person creates meaning in their life. So how will you create meaning, purpose, passion, experience, connection, significance **** insert the noun here, in yours? https://www.tonyrobbins.com/blog/do-you-need-to-feel-significant https://tealswan.com/resources/articles/relationships-and-the-six-human-needs Most of the time those six needs drive emotional reactions in us, and depending how well realised and chosen those behaviors/patterns we are running to achieve them are, dictates where we place on the emotional spectrum.

Look at a problem you've solved in life and then find a way to sell how you did it. If you haven't solved any at all, think harder, if you still can't think of one then solve one!

Its not hard to see the choice. They can fight on their own land and destroy their own cities, and if they go forward they hit heavily defended Russian lines. If they go back they are further in their own country. or They can fight on Russian land and destroy Russian cities, and if they go forward they hit conscripts with no defenses. If they go back they are still inside Russia Russia doesn't respond quickly or effectively to changes on the battlefield. It is however very sturdy and predictable once it has adapted, but that could take 6 months. They are also using a more western doctrine of mobility rather than trying to match the Russians shell for shell which is a far superior choice. Further it is much harder for the average Russian to bury their head in the sand as to what their own country is doing when their neighbors are now homeless. All in all, I was calling for this years ago now. Use Russia's insanely large landmass against them with mobility. They can keep the Russians guessing until they have to slow down, but now that the gloves are off they can go in any direction.

Much of America loves Drama. Your media plays to your love of Drama to keep you watching. Your political process uses Drama to keep you interested Your corporations sell America the drama it loves. Etc. America has a very active psyche that seems to be operating at 110% all the time. He who shouts loudest gets listened to the most, is true in many places in the world, but its very true in America. Moreso when they engage people's love for a story, a narrative, a cause to feel good while simultaneously hating on the 'other', so they can feel like they've defined the problem and can see a solution. *They created the problem. *They created the solution. *They created the feeling. etc. I could keep editing this lol, you'll see countries like Russia love some of this too, as long its on state TV and they are being told who the bad guy is in simple terms. The hero, the villain, the victim. All well defined since childhood. (And yes they created the problem, solution and feeling too).

X ------------------------------------ Y I'll consider this a letter distinction, a space distinction, a shape distinction, a form distinction, a position distinction, a direction distinction etc, etc. I'll consider this a shape, a drawing, an equation, typed lines on a page, a doodle, a silly anecdote by a blue tree,
-
Everything is a construct. We can create distinctions out of anything. We can create infinite reasons for things existing, being constructed, created, or happening. Then we connected it all in our own map of what means what, how, and why. A collective understanding on fundamentals helps the world function, if we can agree what the fundamentals are: Spoiler we can't in totality and never will because infinite is never a fixed thing to model.

I hid this initially, as I tend to agree with @Bjorn K Holmstrom it's the kind of test that will give everyone who takes it some form of disorder, and that to me, is a failing of the modern medical professional to over diagnose people. I would challenge someone to try and get a 0% to see if it's possible. I scored high on Schizoid 86% which I agree with because I've lived below the poverty line in an affluent area for 20+ years and adapted myself to it all my adult life. Few relationships outside of family and work, with a lot of alone time. Compulsive 50%, which I didn't agree with, as I'm not spontaneous and, if anything, too reserved. Some 43% negativistic and 57% depressive tendencies in there linked to the first point, which I agree with: Always the money. No matter how long you practice philosophy or spirituality (or anything else for that matter), if you are broke, life sucks. Dependent was sort of expected but i'd put it around 20% now, I've done a lot of work on it.

I appreciate the similar life experiences shared and the solutions offered, gratitude to all of you

I've noticed most of my life that I am looking for problems to solve, and it's a chronic state. Sometimes people love it because you are being useful to them or helping them out, but I've been working with a guy that's aware enough to tell me, you're always solving a problem, and that's something I've considered before in relationships, and such with women but never work. I don't engage much with life if I am not solving a problem of some kind. It's an odd dynamic currently, he keeps telling me to work less hard and relax, but all my life I've had people who want me flat out all day working, and that's when I feel like I have a job, or feel like I am living life or in a relationship. It's not that I can't or don't just switch off and relax, outside of work I am somewhat lazy I feel, but I don't feel like there is much to the day when I do.

BlueOak replied to Davino's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
You are not in isolation. You are at the crest of a wave, and then it filters down. Your words, actions, energy and the ripples bring those realisations to all of us slowly. That's why it gets a bit easier for others to have awakenings and such as more people have them. Incidently that's why I don't like when you hold back information because we are not receiving it fully yet. I feel like saying: Well yeah obviously! That'll take more of the collective to have those experiences first. -
I don't have much of a flow with life. For me, that's a state I would experience sporadically when on a task. I have problems that come up and I solve them. When I don't have anything to do I have two choices usually, solve something or relax. As to why, that's my frame for life. When I am not doing that, I am wasting time or relaxing. This thread is another problem-solving thread, so it's even here . Specifically at work, I feel that's what work is about, solving problems, finding solutions, and assisting people. Examples: I exercise to solve the problem of my weight, possibly dating again, get my strength up, and keep me healthy through middle age. I work to pay my bills, start a business up again, maybe socialize and feed myself etc. When I have some spare money again I'll socialize to make friends, form connections, be there for someone etc, have some creative expression outside of work. I come on here to have meaningful conversations, see different points of view, raise my awareness and grow, help people out, and be helped sometimes. It's all either this is the problem or need etc, so this is what I do. OR I am choosing to relax right now. When I go through topics here, I skim for either questions or things I think I could help with and have some knowledge about. I like a mystery and miss the times when I thought they surrounded me, but I think I've solved most of them of consequence, and if not, I know they will come to me throughout my life (like this one).
