@Natasha Tori Maru Thanks Natasha. You have some very cool artworks on here too! I liked that one in particular. Love me a good nature scene!

@emptiness dancing yeah that music scene in the movie was super cool!

For me sometimes when I have my eyes closed and I hear an unexpected sound I see strikes or flashes of white light that pass my visual field faster that a bolt of lightning. Does this happen to anyone else? And also what is that?

I'm also not that interested in most of the topics on the updated book list. I'm reading them however and learning many new things that are filling blind spots in my worldview. In that sense they have value to me. I'm about 10% into the Peter Joseph book atm.

I love salt. I also recognize it's not good for me. 6 months ago I switched to this 66% less sodium alternative. So far so good. I don't want to cut salt out entirely as it gives me happiness to add it to food.

In my teens (up to age 20) I was actually a decent photographer. I was accepted and attended one of Denmarks best art and visual media colleges and had a Flickr photo account in which I regulary got into the trending tab and was on and off their top 100 photographers list for 6 years. All that is in the past now. I only do photography recreationally these days and only for fun. Below are just a few of MANY pictures I've taken in the last 7 years all on my smartphone. The best camera is truly the one that you have on you These were taken in Norway, Spain, and Portugal. I have much much higher quality photos than these but this is a good general selection.

Before you scream at me that DOAC is pop culture normie channel "You might as well just recommend me Joe Rogan while you're at it!", yes I agree with you. Now that you've calmed down we can get on with the topic at hand. This guest raised good sober points. It's only part of the picture but a big one at that. In my humble (Not so humble) opinion it's worth a listen:

28 years later: The bone temple In my opinion much improvement over 28 years later released last year but still not amazing. It's good to keep you entertained for a few hours but won't be making it into my top 2026 movies list this year.

In my teenage years I would steal, scam and cheat and manipulate the people closest to me (Family and friends) to get what I wanted. Brought about so much pain, fear and suffering in my life and in the lives of those it touched. I did it because I was lonely and was acting out. I don't recommend this path to anyone unless you want endless problems in life.

I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid and took medication till the age of 18. I don't know if I really do have ADHD or was just a kid being a kid when I was diagnosed that day in the office. I worry about having taken medication for ao long and the long term harm this could've done. Unless your kid shows CLEAR signs of some condition I don't believe in medicating young minds. Nurture, love and be there for them, let them grow up to be the people they where meant to be free of the mind fog of medication.

I think SFX it just feels more real. I dunno truly though. If there's a movie with great storyline and a decent sfx or vfx budget I'll take it. I mean my favorite movie of all time is the LOTR trilogy and I believe it had a decent mix of both. Then the Hobbit movies came out with a much greater emphasis on VFX and across the board most people agree they weren't on the same level of greatness as the original trilogy. Another great sfx film is Coraline. Man that movie is shit wack mad.

@emptiness dancing @Joseph Maynor Cool, thanks my dudes will check it out

@Joseph Maynor Is it better than part 1 released last year?

I already know all that dude. I'm not a victim in any way btw, just venting some frustrations that I AM actively working on. Of course everything you've written in your initial post is true but actualizing such a life and worldview is not an easy thing to do, and must be worked on every day.

Dude I'm sorry but I don't fully agree with you. I'm not more special or a treasure for knowing all this shit. If anything it's made my life that much more difficult. I can't communicate my thoughts with almost anyone except for maybe on this forum, I've become ever more of a recluse. It doesn't make me special knowing this stuff. I'm still full of faults, attachments, biases, corruptions etc. Do I know more than the average Joe about the nature of reality? Sure, but it's just made life much more lonely now. And yes, I can go out and socialize about other stuff with normies and go out and have fun and do conformist stuff, and I do. I am not any more special or unique to anyone else. If one thing I hope to take from this work is now knowing about all the many ways and reasons people suffer through all their different biases, attachments, corruptions, falsehoods etc, I can lend a helping hand or be there for those who are open to receiving help. This is what I hope I can do for others through this work. Edit: It's like waaaay past my bedtime when I'm writing this, I know you're talking about from the highest perspective of consciousness and boundless state and I'm referring to the lower ego based perspective. Now with that good night to you good sir!
