Sincerity

Best of luck to you! Cheers

I watched Interstate 60 with my gf a while ago. Cute little movie about synchronicity. Just something fun to enjoy - some themes really resonated, and some were plain silly. Nevertheless, I really like movies about fate, synchronicity, symbolic journeys, and things like that. There's truth to them.

The Surrender Experiment by Michael Singer has had a great impact on me. I'm still thinking about it often. The path of embracing life and actualizing energy is one I resonate with the most. It's neither about understanding for me (per se), nor calming the mind or transcending suffering. I wanna live my energy to the fullest. I feel this is an approach Michael Singer is aligned with. Currently listening to another book from him: The Untethered Soul. I'm at chapter 7 and I was surprised to hear him talk about the workings of energy! Interested in further listening to his perspective on this.

Wishing all of you a lot of happiness this holiday season and throughout the coming year. ❤️ While there can be disagreements between us, let's remember (at least for a short while) that in the end we are one community. We might be on the forum for different reasons, each of us having their own motivations and goals, but we are all assisting each other in our growth, whether we want it or not. I'm grateful for that. Thank you for reflecting myself back to me. Cheers!

I love you

The answer to every question I LOVE YOU

For those wondering about video editing on Linux:

Two of my best sources I'm subscribed to for (mostly) Ukraine war news. I appreciate their analyses.

Take with a grain of salt. 🧂 Also, the "you're not thinking" thumbnail is making me laugh. "Dumb motherfucker."

I loved the War of Art by Steven Pressfield. It's on my mind often. CREATION.

Great video from Leo's blog. Really resonated with me. The 20 brutal truths: Psychiatric diagnoses are labels, NOT explanations Most people with psychiatric diagnoses don't have a brain disorder Psychiatric medications aren't cures Psychiatric drugs cause tolerance Psychiatric drugs can worsen some people over the long term Long-term users of psychiatric medications are essentially guinea pigs Coming off psychiatric medications is hard Withdrawing from antidepressants and benzodiazepines can cause severe neurological damage known as protracted withdrawal Cannabis is a major gateway drug for triggering bipolar and schizophrenia Cafeine, nicotine, and inactivity are the biggest gateways to anxiety disorders Psychiatric research can be corrupted by pharmaceutical industry Pharmaceutical companies have co-opted academics ^ These academics train the next generation of psychiatrists Most doctors don't have the time to address root causes (US-specific) Good psychiatric care is nearly impossible to get with insurance (US-specific) American psychiatry isn't designed to help people (US-specific) The NIMH has betrayed the public (US-specific) There's a massive over prescription problem in the US (assuming in EU as well) In rare cases, psychiatric drugs can trigger mania, psychosis, or aggression In even rarer cases, psychiatric medications and can precipitate violent, unpredictable behaviour, sometimes involved in mass shootings

This is all the elaboration needed. You don't call this lack.

That's a terrible way to look at it. No offense. Femininity is incredible power. Just not as blunt as that of a man. Feminine power is based in attracting. While masculine power is based in directed will, "conquest". Both are outstanding forces.

Maybe you guys will get back together again.
