Sincerity

Never saw anything like that.

Because you're starting to focus on something other than meditation. Just know what you want and go for that. If you want meditation for its own sake, focus only on the meditation - otherwise you're not really meditating. If you want insights and creative inspirations, then that's your focus. Make your pick in the moment.

Damn. Nice

Welcome to the forum! If he indeed says it, yeah, that does sound kinda blue. A while ago I posted a link to a preview for the book Integral Relationships. I think it sheds some light on the correlation between SD stages and sexual relation development. Here it is again: https://www.integralpsychology.org/uploads/1/5/3/0/15300482/stages_of_sexual_development_and_anima_and_animus.pdf

Memories from Paris - December 2025 I took my girlfriend to Paris for her surprise birthday trip! 🇫🇷 She was in love with the city. We walked through the streets in the more intimate areas, appreciated the beautiful architecture, ate some great local food, had some wine here and there. My biggest wish was to go to Musée d'Orsay and I fulfilled it. I was mesmerized, holding back tears. I mostly enjoyed some impressionist pieces, and also the works of Odilon Redon. Overall, everything went great; she couldn't thank me enough. ❤️ A lot of planning went into this; I organized everything for us. I've been to Paris before, but I saw it from a different angle this time. It was fun! (Our camera didn't catch the Eiffel Tower in the background. )

A journal for sharing things I'm passionate about. Stuff I like and dislike. These are shorter, playful, more unfiltered thoughts.

It depends on what you want. Sometimes, when I feel energyless or uninspired, I just sit without distractions and do nothing until an insight or an idea to do something that resonates arises. Then, once it does, I go and do that thing. My goal from the start is for something interesting to arise. On the other hand, if the act of meditation is your sole focus, then yeah, even if interesting ideas arise you should not pursue them for that time. And yes, you might forget these ideas during/after meditation. Because if you're making even a slight effort to remember the idea which arose during meditation, you're probably meditating wrong - or, you're not aware of what your true focus/goal is.

Yes, it’s been known to happen to new users. It should stop being like this in some time

It's not so much about brainwashing. It's about action taken in a particular direction. Act on the preferred energy/motivation - what you want to be more. One step at a time.

Anyway, yeah. I think hardly anyone wants to read AI vomit. Even when it's "deep", you just sense the shallowness...

The original post doesn't look like just "cleaning up phrasing" to me. The entire post from start to finish looks AI generated, with all of it's phrasing. Are you really being honest here? Writing 3 sentences about your insight (even if it's an original idea) and telling ChatGPT to make a post out of it still counts as an AI generated post. Perhaps share the prompt you inputted (even if it's in another language)? Then we can judge.

Any recommendations for great substacks worth reading? https://substack.com Something more or less aligned with the work here. Conscious analyses and insightful articles - introspective, epistemological, spiritual, political or whatnot. I'll be grateful for your response.

I read/watched a fair bunch about the whole ordeal. And I don't watch TV. But I wonder what sources you listen to. I think I asked you like 6-12 months ago, but you didn't say... Anyway, this is pointless. Thanks for the back and forth.

He didn't choose to die for what he believed in. You're making him a martyr. Which isn't true. Do you honestly believe he'd go out there if he knew he'd be killed that day? Get real. He didn't need to worry about money, because he made so much of it selling right-wing lies to youthful minds that he could swim in his money like Scrooge McDuck.

I wonder if he'd have these same opinions if they didn't make him a ton of money. Hateful propaganda sells, that's for sure.

What's the main point, exactly? That Charlie was "innocent" and his wife is "evil"? And the point is to agree with it, or what? By saying that Charlie Kirk was a liar, the discussion is exactly on point. Because he wasn't innocent. Hatred comes back - you reap what you sow.

Lol

Very raw. Thank you for sharing.

The stupidest, most impractical mug I have ever bought. I absolutely fucking love it. I've been in a better mood in the last few days. Coincidentally, I also started supplementing vitamin D every day in the exact same time. I wonder if that has been a considerable factor. I just wanna do moooooore! I visited one of my favourite coffee shops today. These people have the cheapest (good) coffee I have ever seen - AND it's very good, even outcompeting most specialty cafes. I literally feel like I'm robbing them; they have stamp cards, but I feel guilty using them LOL. I've chatted with the owners, they're cool folks; I even asked about the prices, they said it's their strategy or smth. Well, you do you guys! Appreciate your dirt cheap cappuccinos. Life's fine.

Hey y'all This is going to be my new journal on my new account. I left the old acc because I didn't like my username. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Sincerity and I'm from Poland. [image removed] ^ This is me! I'm currently ??? years old. I'm admittedly young but I hope you can see me beyond my age, for what I am I've been on this forum for more than 3 years and until now I've (kinda) held my identity a secret. But lately I've had some realizations in regard to expressing myself more honestly and yeah. Here I am, being more open with you. Now you have a slightly better idea of who's behind the account. (Edit: Ironic haha. But it has to be this way. Everything ends.) I've been on the spiritual path for roughly 4-5 years now and I feel like I've had much progress. I definitely have many insights to share. But I'm still pretty much a beginner and I'm on the journey along with you. Try to keep up, because I feel like I'm growing pretty fast (this year has been insane for me so far, seriously!) I've been mulling over my important values for years and this is where I stand right now: I am primarily about goodness. I am about love. I am about bliss, wisdom, appreciation, responsibility, sincerity, curiosity, discipline and humility. I also really value humor and laughter. You might notice I'm often tongue-in-cheek in my posts I don't like posting very frequently and I'm still not sure what I will even be posting here but tell you what, it's going to come from a place of sincerity Love and have a great day ❤️

I was at the emergency department with my gf today. I handled everything for her so that she felt maximally taken care of. It's things like these that get us closer. She tells me she wouldn't be afraid to be pregnant with me. That I'd make a good husband. A father. I fucking hate kids.

The sounds of snow crunched by my boots. ❄️🐧 While walking in my gorgeous little wood. And waddling like a penguin to make the sounds even louder, on purpose. At night, when no one is there, and the lamp posts illuminate the naked trees so beautifully.
