  1. I cant avoid paying attention to the way Teal breath while she speaks. Is not even about the message but the Breathe pattern. Girl, please, just breath.
  2. Apparently people can use Twitter in Jail. or is a paid social media manager. https://twitter.com/Cobratate/status/1612035223662764034?t=y7GnKZWH1OC8H0YN79koBQ&s=19
  3. I had a weird experience with this. I came one day after a 5 day retreat of Ayahuasca, and inside the retreat you are inside of such a bubble of high consciousness that you cant compare with anything else. In the group everything flows, you are going around doing your shores and arrive in the places in the rigth time to hear something important from somebody or help someone in some activity. Is everything syncronized as an well oiled machine. When I came back to the "world" it felt like I was coming back to an old Era in time, felt like I came back to 1970. A real feeling of Time traveling, felt like I was in that movie where you enter in a car and goes back. So this experience it gave me the insigth to don't conflate your level of consciousness with the level of consciousness your society are. If you get higher, be ready to become patient and compassionate because you will see a lot of unconsciousness and sometimes just watch it and accept as part of the growth process. And is normal that this happens, because most part of people in this world are not engaged in doing inner work with or without psycadelics. I have a brother that don't read a single book in years. Is not a surprise that my communication with him don't flow. There is no judgment, I just choose to be a reader. Some people are stuck in lower levels of personality development, and is both a individual problem (Lack of self-relfection) and a structural one ( as Leo said once, Society don't give praise if someone declare he/her is in a Mission to become Self-Realized) You can't make a song from your phone play in a Atari console. The Atari dont have Bluetooth yet. And you cant fit a VHS tape in a DvD player. Is like my capacity to express myself in English. Any one who have English as a native language can spot that English is not my Mother language. I simply don't have the software fully instaled so I try the best I can with my level of English. Same with many levels of consciousness around the world. Some things simply don't compute for some people. Not enogth Bandwith.
  4. Is also very healthy to become a role model to oneself. For me I dont feel the need to be any like any Goggins,Hubermans,Rogans,Tates, and even Leos. Anyone must be engaged being themselfs (instantiations of consciousness) and trying to overcome their own limits,bias and so forth. Of course some can serve as inspiration for change. For me, the best moments are those when I am alone, either walking, swiming, reading, having a breakfast, watching a stand-up comedy, playing drum,harmonica, signing, or looking inside in a psycadelic journey. Those characters griffters or not are doing their own thing as well collecting the consequences of their actions. This constant chase for role models is riduculous. I understand the need for it in a community level. For me personality if I listen a guy speaking and the way they behave online I just ask myself if I would enjoy to pass a day with the guy and if it would be fullfilling? Same with a woman, if you be honest you know if you connect or not with someone. If I feel it would be a waste of my time I try to not spend time online with this guys. Anyway, I follow very little people, and unfollow the ones I feel BS without thinking twice as soon as I smell lack of Integrity. But I know not everbody have a trained nose for horseshit.
  5. Maybe they lack Requisite Variety https://www.actualized.org/insights/requisite-variety-and-creative-laziness
  6. This is somehow related with this topic about Masculinity. Judge by yourself the validity of the content to your inner work. And wishing that we as men can more and more communicate as this two guys in the podcast. https://open.spotify.com/episode/5qLk6lhc93r6uTRhH12pqd?si=BMYoWy6ZQu2LwNuWb0OriA
  7. My personal experience on this topic is as far as I remember. I found online stuff as Incell, MGTOW and similar lines of thought only after a breakup with a girl I used to date. I that times I used all that narratives to downplay my mistakes in the relationship and make in my mind her dark feminine aspects more prevalent. In the end she was as ignorant as me on how our dynamic was not balanced. I had overcome that insecure self and had many quality Intimacy with more mature woman. But I can see clearly that in that state I was I was a easy target to buy into ideological distortions of female/male relationship. When a man is happy in his own body, making his thing, eating healthy, reading good stuff, resting, going on healing retreats or meditation retreats, he will very rarely fall pray to bullshit. Is easy to make every boy receive healthy environment that sustains all his potential? Yes and no. And honestly, by that times I was so in pain that no amount of advice could help me get out of the hole. There are dark nigths of the soul that a man need to gather forces to lift himself up alone, even if he use some external sources as books, masters etc.. there are times he need to go deep in his inner being and drag himself up from his pit of self-pity. And I am thankfull I found stregth to do the moves necessary to save myself from myself that days.
  8. If he was Dave Chappelle he could say whatever he likes. Comedy is a great position to speak freely. But even Chappelle had his problems. Oh world.
  9. There is a Guy Called Chris Bale with a Podcast called Awakened Intent. Very powerfull takes on intimacy and masculinity. But as we all know, some people are unable to have admiration for guys like Bale, Calm, Stable, Direct, Clear. Birds of the same feather flock together.
  10. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimetic_theory "Man is the creature who does not know what to desire, and he turns to others in order to make up his mind. We desire what others desire because we imitate their desires."[2] Mimetic theory posits that mimetic desire leads to natural rivalry and eventually to scapegoating - Girard called this the scapegoat mechanism. In his study of history, Girard formed the hypothesis that societies unify their imitative desires around the destruction of a collectively agreed-upon scapegoat.[3
  11. I was watching the documentary "The Spider's Web" Britain's Second Empire, that deals with tax evasion,Fiscal Paridises and How the whole scheme is built i a way that nobody can stop. And of course this kind of structural schemes and dudes like Andrew are just material to study how survival works and can be sneaky. Andrew moved to Romania to make his bussiness easy, but this "off shore" move was not taking in consideration other factors "the ruthlessness of the cops" Somebody in the comments said that he was impressed of how people in this forum could care about such low consciousness shady character as Tate, and my opinion is that at least for me is very important to study not just the Senecas,Socrates,Budas,Mahaviras but also the whole gradients from the top to the bottom, the same way in a forest we have jaguars,snakes,ants,Macaws,Monkeys and a whole interconnection of holons, in this jungle of society we also have many levels of players, each with their way of surviving as an Identity. I was reading Seneca book "On the breviety of life" this week. And is amazing how that man knew a lot about all specie of leaders and their ways of living more or less wisely. Being able to see throughout the drama show online and extract the lessons is for me an amazing exercice of contemplation. We can learn from the ligth but we can learn observing the shadow too. Since young age I see people, family members giving praise to smartass criminal people that are able to make money with elaborate schemes and get away with it. But when the victims of schemes are themselfs them there is no celebration and admiration for the criminal intelligence of the conartist. I think I heard this one from Nassin Taleb " If you see fraud and you don't shout "Fraud!!, then you are a fraud"
  12. "Life is a noun, but the phenomenon to which it refers is a process. And is vitalistic: when we say life, we think we know what we are talking about when we often simply applied a label that allows us to categorize, rather than examine closely, the phenomenon about which we are speaking" Quote from the Book in the picture
  13. @BartekD thank you, this link is amazing.
  14. Some may ready know this guy. I heard from him by a old friend that was deep in Martial Arts. and was always great to make gym with that friend cause he had this mindset of exercise free from categories. For me was liberating to realize there is no rigth way to exercice or move. I was never a gym guy, I prefer go my own way to the forest and beach and do the movements and exercises that I feel serve me more. For anyone wishing to explore movement, I recomend checking Ido Portal. As far as I know, I think he is coming back to spotlight now and will work with Andrew Huberman. Is for me very important to balance all the psychedelic work and Abstract work with physical practice, so with this I also am open to suggestions, books, links to what you guys are using to fulfill this area of self-actualization. For me at least 2023 is a year to focus in deep in Optimize Body Health to the maximum since I have a good amount of 5Meo to experiment so I am Aware that with a half-ass body health there is no progress in this work.
  15. I was thinking in the same way, whenever there is a gap in the Rolemodel arena there will be an offer to fill that gap, similar to the demand/offer economy stuff but in this case with Rolemodels.
  16. Tate is very good in Ranting but he offers no Strategic Solutions. How can you have a good conversation with someone like this?
  17. "I dont belive in things that take power away from me!!" Romenian Police: Are you sure?
  18. For me are Integrity Toxic Life Purpouse How God Forgive All Evil What is Devil Self-Bias Solipsism How to avoid Scams How everbody acts with good intentions.
  19. I am not surprised at all, I only watched one video of the guy and I could smell the criminality in his style. The butthurt followers of him? They could smell too, but instead of felling repeled by the character they felt atraction. Bees collect polen flyes gather around shit. Arrested by pizza boxes. I will wait for the Netflix documetary on this.
  20. I used to have a dream jornal, but was to messy and I was Missing days. So I will try restart again, but now using this platform in 2023. Yesterday I became aware of how long I didnt have lucid dreams, yes I had many crazy ones but not lucid. And tonigth it started again. In my lucid dreams I'am breaking the ideia that you can only sense vision in a dream. Tonigth was the time of the feeling of cold and wet in my hands. Is was walking down some sort of rock stairs in a forest, and was raining, I could see clear every drop of water hitting the ground so I got down and touched the muddy earth that was acumulated in a pound. I felt not just the cold and wet mid but the texture of mud. Amazing. I found not so far a small river and I washed my hands shaking it in the water, I could feel the flow of water ,cold etc... So, this ideia that what physicality diferentiate dream from reality is not a very accurate ideia. I another dream I was hugging someone and the feeling of hugging "something physical" was also very real.
  21. I arrived at this lecture from Naval Ravikant book "The Almanack of Naval Ravikant" Is an Essay made to Scientific Researchers but it can be applied to more domains. is a classic on how to be efficient. Is a relatively long video but if you check in the comments there is a summary someone posted like 7 years ago so you can take a fast look on what the video talks and if it is interesting. You and your research.pdf
  22. I cant understand all the tech involved in this kind of experimentation, but what puzzles me, is the constant morph aspect of it. As the character moves the whole structure of the scenery change as well. Similar to the dreamscape at nigth where sometimes by only thinking about something it just comes into existence. This topic of universe creation is one of my favorites. For example, did watched last Avatar sequel and also Pinochio making of new movie by Guillermo Del Toro. There is a big effort and intelligence to create great pieces of art. Universe enjoy this creative endevours.
