a point here: Not all Christian as crazy MAGA nationalists Found this Father on Instagram and his message is this : https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-NU18uOrmE/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== I called my fellow Christian’s here because I grieve that we have lost so much in this regard. rarely has it been those closest to me in brick churches who have ventured to pray with me at the top of a mountain. Oh what worship and knowledge we have missed. To exploit - to use something past it’s it’s limits, design, and capacity for one’s own gain. Or, to use something in such a way as to leave it useless while you have gained benefit from its demise. Exploitation is one of the great evils of human history and present. It is the opposite of love and the opposite of community. Our entire economy is based on a relationship with nature that leaves the land immensely worse than we found it. We have used it passed the carrying capacity God designed it for, and not for necessity if food, for profit. Some believe we are too far gone to recover. I don’t think you need to change your relationship with the land to save the planet, you need to do it for yourself, for the benefit of your own soul. Whether you’re an athiest transgender liberal vegan or a gun owning conservative right wing hunter, protecting and conserving nature is something we have a stake in. You can not hug trees or hunt without conservation of forest and habitat. Politicians don’t get to use this one to divide people, we are all on the same side here ! The next 6 months will possibly be the most divisive since the civil way, but there are some things that should reach passed the boxes and tribalism and be a burden carried by all. On SM I have learned you get more views if you pick a divisive issue and lean hard to a side, The tribes will support it. Maybe sometimes that is necessary and appropriate. Most often, we need to find where we meet in the middle. Nature, Land, and its creatures certainly fall there. -
I reviced a Morning Brief from New York Times today in my email August 6, 2024 Stocks tumbled over fears of a U.S. economic slowdown A wave of anxiety rippled through financial markets yesterday, and stocks fell around the world as investors zeroed in on signs of a slowing American economy. The drop extended a sell-off that began on Friday after the U.S. released a job report that showed the highest level of unemployment in nearly three years. That deepened fears that the world’s largest economy could be headed for slower growth. There were other factors at play in the plunge: concerns that tech stocks had run up too far, too fast, and that a strengthening yen could hurt the prospects of Japanese companies and some global traders. In the U.S., some questioned whether the Federal Reserve might have waited too long to cut interest rates. Here’s the latest on the market meltdown. By the numbers: In the U.S., the S&P 500 fell 3 percent, its worst day since September 2022. In Japan, the Nikkei 225 index dropped 12.4 percent, its biggest one-day point decline. The FTSE 100, Britain’s benchmark index, had its worst day since July 2023, falling just over 2 percent. Time to sell? It’s tough to do nothing during this kind of market turmoil. But in this case, it’s your best option, Ron Lieber, our columnist, writes. ------------------- also: Bitcoin price today is $56,496.52 https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/

@Nilsi Is this the Death of Modernity Manisfesto?

I was doing this listening for hours in last winter while working with my brother in a CNC machine work. There was a lot o noise so I used the podcast to stop the noise and listening something while work. But alert. Sometimes is better to be present when working with heavy machines. Neural beats was a second option and frequencys and sometimes jumping to nice music. Remember that our mind have also a sort of digestive process. To much input with not output or creation work becomes indigestive. I dont listen Leo content twice anymore, and listen again some video only if I feel the call for some topic. Better listen something once well than half-ass listening and need to listen again.

And from another perspective, news or any sort of content we read or hear are inputs, interpreted by our bias as negative, positive and all sorts of interpretation. Another day trying to sleep after drink a small weak dose of Dmt I notice I was anoyed with the sounds of dogs barking, suddenly I heard the sound of a bird singing and in my mind if felt interessted in the bird in opossition from the annoying dogs. But wait, who is making distinction of x sound is good and x sound is bad? Me? The judge of sounds. Lame I know, but the game is this keep checking how some sounds deligth and other sounds disgust. News are sounds,words,sentences,meanings that represent oportunity or threat. Imagine that you would be deaf and have the grace of listening for the first time. Even the sound of Trump Rumblings would make you cry. Nothing special about Trump voice, but you would be Gratefull and in Awe for the Gift of Hearing. https://youtu.be/_7xuJ7nkFgw?si=ynAS0jEOk6xNkwHy -

@Princess Arabia intersting. I was watching a video of my sister teaching her daugther to say the number from 1 to 10 using a game made of wood block. Maybe weeks ago that block were just colors and shapes for the girl or maybe even more nebulous. And now day by day the blocks will be reified into something else, the augmented reality keep going, more juicy, wordly and far for the original wordless something. Luckly there a lot of things in the direct experience that one cant name. -

I am not declaring war at nothing, to declare war onto something you need two, the one declaring war and having any hope of victory and the other in this case consciousness and the war declaring one have some hope of destroy the other. But if you study consciousness you realise is non-local and timeless, morphing endelessly. How to win a war onto something you can grasp and something that even dont get attached into itself? Is like figthing with clouds. Lost battle. -

How do you know that the other emanations are other? Why not all of yourself, imagination of your own making? Watch out for otherness, you can end up realizing is Self. -
With all talk about the Fall of Democracy and World being Crazyz and Laws being broken and corruption. What about our personal constitution? What about a file where all the laws and precepts that we individualy stand for and we can even sign bellow making a firm contract that we will do the best to live according to those laws and precepts? A paper telling cleally with what we are siding with. If you would write such constitution what would be the contents of it? I the person.. declare that I stand for... I side with...

This is your inner dialogue? Haha good luck. Go into a psycadelic deep trip with this intention on mind and see if you cone back with the same argument. -
True, this is the same with Ayahuasca, people g drinking sometimes 2 full cups thinking that more will help, but in the end I hear their experiences and is just cheap talk with nothing substancial to apply in life. People will take lifes to understand that is the quality of your mind that will set the fundation to the experience and not just doses. Of course dose counts too . but from my experience sometimes with a small dose I am able to work in my deconstruction better than big visionary doses. the point is knowing well what are you looking for in a trip.

Yes I assume I am a thinking mind because I think, but the thinking process and me exist in simultaneous so for example while I write this I am aware of me making choices of what words to say to be able to convey a message to another mind out there and to be carefull in the word choice so that the other mind can understand it. Even I need to write in this language called English otherwise I sense the such other will not grasp the meanings. At same time I am listening my own voice in my mind while I write a silent voice. -
When you a girl grab your dick and is about to suck it. Why you dont show resistance? If was a Bear doing the same why would you resist? In the end is running for pleasure and running away from pain, one you assume will give you life and other death. But what if the girl would end up cutting it out and the Bear would just blow it. I could come up with a ligther example but I used this to make explicit the urge for pleasure vs pain.

As a side study, I am trying to collect the history of Females who attained high levels of Awakening. I feel we need to integrate this side. So I am realing some books and making research. Help is accepted for those who know a bit about it. I know from study that the Oracles of Delphi were woman, and many Woman were Prophets,Priests and Magicians in the Past. In the Modern days we have woman shamans, Maria Sibina,a dn many others so I found this Tibetan Important Being called: Yeshe Tsogyal https://www.shambhala.com/the-secret-life-story-of-yeshe-tsogyal.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeshe_Tsogyal known as "Victorious Ocean of Knowledge", "Knowledge Lake Empress" attained enlightenment in her lifetime and is considered the Mother of Tibetan Buddhism she began studying Buddhism with Padmasambhava, who became her main karmamudrā consort She is known to have revealed terma with Padmasambhava and was also the main scribe for these terma. Later, Yeshe Tsogyal also hid many of Padmasambhava's terma on her own, under the instructions of Padmasambhava for future generations Is with the concept of Terma that I need a second opinion. Because we have the concept of Karma yes, but Terma is a Nebulous thing, sounds like a sort of Revelation that can be hidden is a object or even in space or maybe in Akashic records. So imagine you are able to acess the field as a libary and download information from there or even up-load wisdom in there. of course when I say there I am using dual language but for any of you who had acess to some frequency realm you know what I am talkig about, is not Physical at all. Ok back to the concept of Terma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terma_(religion) Terma "hidden treasure") are various forms of hidden teachings that are key to Vajrayana and Tibetan Buddhist and Bon spiritual traditions. In the Vajrayana Nyingma school tradition, two lineages occur: an oral kama lineage and a revealed terma lineage. Tradition holds that terma teachings were originally esoterically hidden by eighth-century Vajrayana masters Padmasambhava and Yeshe Tsogyal, to be discovered at auspicious times by treasure revealers known as tertöns. As such, terma represent a tradition of continuous revelation in Vajrayana and Tibetan Buddhism. My interesst here is in the topic of TERTONS. since is via ternons that the continous revelation are channeled. And what the possibility to become one of this channelers. Again about the Importance of study Females Awakened beings the Wiki say this about her " "In the body of a woman As to the question of the place of female practitioners in Tibetan Buddhism, Yeshe Tsogyal has been an important role model. When she herself asked about "her inferior female body" (a common theme in the biographies of female spiritual practitioners), Padmasambhava advised Yeshe Tsogyal that far from being a hindrance to enlightenment, as was generally accepted, a woman's body is an asset: "The basis for realizing enlightenment is a human body. Male or female, there is no great difference. But if she develops the mind bent on enlightenment the woman’s body is better." After many years of serious study and meditative practice, Yeshe Tsogyal's level of spiritual awakening, enlightenment, was equal to that of Padmasambhava. The body is the vessel, the Veichle of Attainment, must be clear this for anyone, even for the ones who claim that the body is just a dream as everything else. The truth is that If you going to use any techinique to Awaken you will use the body structure as the Trampolin. ShamanicBrething,Bandas,DMT,5MEO DMT.. ETC.. All demands a human body. and a trainment of the mind to make the breakthought. The Terton is someone who channel Wisdom, so, I keep thinking how much Termas or "Hidden Treasures" there are hidden in Tibetan Valts? Just a curiosity. Would demand a travel to Tibet and somehow acess to the Books there to know. But why make the physical effort to access treasures if all the wisdom even gatherered from any human mind came from the same iNFINITE source of Intelligence? But again, about the writen texts, there are acctualy tresure hunters in this world that have passion to find out this lost sacred texts . check this : https://himalaya.socanth.cam.ac.uk/collections/journals/jiabr/pdf/JIABR_01_10.pdf On the tab Terton on wikipedia is decribed about Khakyab Dorje, 15th Karmapa Lama The 15th Karmapa Khakyab Dorje of the Karma Kagyu Lineage was a tertön. There was a prophecy from Yeshe Tsogyal that he should take tantric consorts. Initially, he wished to stay a monk, but his health was failing. Meditation masters told him he would die if he didn't fulfill his functions as a tertön. In 1892, he was convinced to marry when he was 20 years old. By the time the 15th karmapa died, he had accumulated 40 boxes of termas, texts and objects This bit make one ask is the path of celibate is really functional for all. What if engaging with a consort may be a way up to increase the advencdement of spiritual awakening instead of being a hindrance? See in this particular historical case the guy would die if he keept ignoring the destiny of his soul path. That is something that I admire in Traditional Lineages, in this Traditions there are a whole clan of wizards around that can sense who is aimed to certain paths. Even is Amazom Tribes the boys who the Shaman see that have a call for the Craft are selected and trained since young age to become a Shaman himself. And from oral transmision, those guys have no books, all they know is transmited by Songs To finish about the Necessity of a Consort to be able to be a Terton: Tertön practices Consorts, with whom they practice sexual yoga or karmamudra to accelerate and enhance their capacity for realization, are thought to be very important to tertöns.[6] Fremantle (2001: p. 19) states that: One of the special requirements for the discovery of termas is the inspiration of the feminine principle, just as it was necessary for their concealment. The great majority of tertöns have been men, and generally they are accompanied by their wives or female companions (who need not necessarily have a sexual relationship with them). Alternatively, something representing the tertön's complementary energy, whether male or female, must be present. Yet, even very realized female practitioners bring forth terma, sometimes with an living male consort and sometimes alone. Dakini Sera Khandro is a notable example of a woman tertön. Although the authenticity and value of a terma may be questioned or debated, tertöns are exempt from being judged according to their behavior and lifestyle, with Guru Rinpoche having cautioned that "hidden enlightened beings appear in uncertain form" and, by contrast, "fool-deceivers are great hypocritical mimics of the dharmic practitioner".
