  1. Yes, this is my brother, he keep bragging about principles,values and etc.. but keep smoking,drinking,having bad friendships and eating things that make he fat. Some souls came to this life to hit the wall, die and start again.
  2. Imagine a parallel reality where some aliens call a car a cat and a cat a car. You just need to change t for r or you can even call it a zat or a wat, language is distintcion making device. We take language for granted because we have familiarity with it and is usefull to survival. Imagine going to a grocery store and not knowing how to ask a bread with butter? Or not knowing the words to seduce a girl. You would not survive and reproduce. And at same time cats eat and reproduce not needing verbal categories or this or that. I have some crazy dreams where I dream with creatures I never ever saw in my life. No name for them. I have visions in Ayahuasca that I can describe,Alien worlds, all passing by my field of vision. I got used to the wacky visions so much that I have no attachment with any of them, so I can keep attention to the watcher observer, yes is always me watching,felling,hearing,smelling etc.. and also me giving names to nameless
  3. After a Kambô Cleaning this month I noticed that during the 10 days diet that includes no sugar,no processed foods ,no sex and much more other things my body drives me crazy in desire for sugar. I can eat Meat Fish and Chiken in this diet also fruits,veggies and overall healty stuff. At same time some Trauma material is coming up because of the diet, maily traumas that one use to cover eating sugary carbs. So I found this guy that works and talk about that somatic aspect. Hope it brings Clarity to ones in the path of learning to be more conscious of their habits and the real source of their cravings. This things are very counter-intuitive but the intelligence of the body os amazing. It works as it work and we work in favor to it or against it. A lot to learn in this youtube channel
  4. All I can say is that Kambô cleans the yellow and old bile from stomach. Is not a solution forever since you can go back to bad habits again. But the diet after the purge is 10 days no sugar,no sex,no industrialized food,no álcool. So is hard. But by completing the diet I came to realize that I dont really need sugar so much. My appreciation for good pranic food, fruits,vegetables and overall healty food came back. Is good to take a diatance from cravings so one can realize that those foods were addictions.
  5. Assuming both sides are good in all the qualities of communication,boundaries and all the mumbo jumbo of conscious relationship yes, is possible. But living among ignorant people will the hard if you are the only one doing inner work.
  6. I had a figth with a car tonigth in my dreams and I escaped to a trip in a hotair ballon and the clouds had appearance of being Minecraft squares. How can a Materialistic explain this shit?
  7. Yes, I know, even the ideia if Brain is part of Hallucination but still the video add some nuance
  8. Maybe if one see a douche one for integrity sake must say it ,instead of sugarcoat the term. What one would call a douche?
  9. Is one more wave of worldwide crazinness coming up? I have my Kambô arsenal to vacinnate myself against this again. Last Covid Kambô saved my life.
  10. I feel there is space to explore the inpersonal aspect of reality where even the ego self is just a construct and a figment of consciousness, hut at same time you as a individual have a particular essence and gifts to bring fort in this particular lifetime. So I am in favor of using the term Soul. From my experience sometimes in my life I had moments of Soul Expansion and Soul Contraction. Part of the Individuation Journey is discover what make your Soul Expands and many other aspects of your present form. For me part of the fun of life is to desing your own Soul, almost like you are building a RPG character.
  11. I follow the work of this guy and others I feel are alligned with deep work
  12. Ayahuasca is a great way to dive deep into the shadows. Although some people drink it and enter in state of "only love" and "only light" . Very soon if the person keep going deep he or she will be confronted with their devils hidden in the caves of their unconscious. By devils I mean all the behaviors,beliefs and projections that one use to point out to others and dont want to recongize that he or she have inside himself like greed,lust,pervesion,hate,prejudices,boredoom and much more. Also will help to see the inner child, the inner femenine or masculine and all the stuff talked about by Carl Jung. Of course if the person dont want or is not open to explore this aspects,no medicine or any other work will be suficient. Belive that the game of denial can even be played inside Ayahuasca circles. And of course in the middle of some works one can touch some points that goes beyond therapy. Points like realizing you are creating all as a dream, since Ayahuasca is drank at night and leads one to enter awake in the dreamland. So sometimes I get myself Lucid dreaming realizing the boundaries of wake life and dream life are constructs. But back to Shadow. Yes, it is a way to go. I also opened a Thread Called ShadowWork somewhere here.
  13. Essence Revealed Have you ever thougth that the pursuit of Survival,encoded in our bodies and minds as a survival instinct, if not pure deception,then at least a smokescreen? The aims to have a more beautiful and healthier body, possessions that ensure special comfort and superiority over others, a larger collection of travel (including spiritual) experiences, increasing cognitive and physical advantage, and establishing leadership—only keep us in this purgatory we call this world. Extending life here or even making it eternal? – Sounds rather pathetic. To survive here, we need only as much time as it takes to learn to feel and spread love. For love is the greatest power that a person with an instinctual animal body can master. By fearing for life or the quality of life, we distance ourselves from reality and are not living but acting in an illusion of our own construction. If I were to say that the only truly meaningful activity in this life is not to worry about survival or a certain level of living but to practice love, would you recognize this as your inner truth? If so, the only thing left is to search for the answer to the question – what is my unique (distinct from others), authentic (aligned with my bodily nature and soul’s tasks) way to practice love?
  14. What when AI develop a Sense of Other? Will it start asking itself what is itself and start creating backstories to justify its own existence? https://medium.com/@camilajohn001/theory-of-mind-ai-the-next-frontier-in-artificial-intelligence-92cb1963ab5d What are humans more than biological robots that started to create answers to fill the blank
  15. Another day listening to dogs barking I came to realise that the dogs nearby started to bark because they heard other dogs barking far away. You may thing this is obvious, but imagine: If you hear some people far in the city shouting in desperation of sounding like they are fighting you will not start shouting and screaming back. This is because when a dog barks it is barking to some threat, somebody passed in the street and the dog bark, the dog near me hear it and take the bark as a sign of threat to himself since it can rationalise that is just other dog barking and he dont need to be worried himself with it, it just respond neuronmirroning the behavior of the other dog. a good read in the Wikipedia about Theory of Mind gave me good insights about how complex are our development. So complex that even by reading this you may start asking in your own mind what are all the reasons I in my mind started this post, and this work with all other conversations we have in this Forum, we keep making inferences and guesses about what goes on in the minds of all other memebers of this Forum. One thing to learn from the Wiki is that some people have low development in their Theory of Mind capacity, so for them is more difficult to engage in good comunication,emphaty and so fort. Read the Wiki if you wish and add your thougths, well , because I actually cant read your mind unless you write something of what is going on inside of it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_mind " The "theory of mind" is described as a theory, because the behavior of the other person, such as their statements and expressions, is the only thing being directly observed; no one has direct access to the mind of another, and the existence and nature of the mind must be inferred.[12] It is typically assumed others have minds analogous to one's own; this assumption is based on three reciprocal social interactions, as observed in joint attention,[2] the functional use of language,[13] and the understanding of others' emotions and actions.[14] Theory of mind allows one to attribute thoughts, desires, and intentions to others, to predict or explain their actions, and to posit their intentions. It enables one to understand that mental states can be the cause of—and can be used to explain and predict—the behavior of others.[12] Being able to attribute mental states to others and understanding them as causes of behavior implies, in part, one must be able to conceive of the mind as a "generator of representations".[15] If a person does not have a mature theory of mind, it may be a sign of cognitive or developmental impairment.[1
  16. Interesting that the Adaptative Integrator first Letters are A.I
  17. since young, there are many tests that demand high skills of observation and give response to inputs in order to adapt to the environment and the social group
  18. My humble guess is that the phenomena of ToM is a necessity in animals that live in groups. Mainly Apes. I think there is a study of Macaques where a macaque lie to other macaques giving a wrong scream signal that would mean "snake" and by doing this the group runs away so the macaque can eat a nice fruit without sharing with the group. So, again, if any behavior exists it exist on order to sustain survival otherwise there would be no need of it. Having intuition about other people intentions is a good thing for survival, kids need to learn how to read parents and act in ways to get what they want otherwise they would not survive. We do a lot of prediction everyday, mainly when we are in company of others, and this allow us to navigate the day in making food,working,debating,conflict resolution etc..
  19. I figth fire with fire. If you dont educate your demons they will lash out and turn you into one of them, hold the polarity and paradox that you are that devil and at same time you are giving your extended self a lesson, for your own good.
  20. She is you asking you if you are enjoying eating You. Self Ask Self if Self enjoy self.
  21. Is an open orgy party to Silicon Valley Tycons. The money need to be drained somewhere.
  22. https://veilofreality.com/2024/05/10/how-can-we-heal-this-polarized-world-tcm-130-part-1/ This is a Podcast from where I am getting good value insigths. And as Leo said somewhere, of course all perspectives are partial and there is always some bias involved. So perfect insigths may exist only in God Realization full balls to the wall. This topic of polarization is so close to home that I am feeling it ready in family and close friends. People are slowly losing their minds, even the ones that not so long ago looks so grounded. This times are not for the faint of heart. Here is a description of the podcast so you may feel if is worth listen a bit. .... People are becoming more extreme in their positions while projecting onto the other side, blaming them for everything that’s wrong with the world. But there is also, in the midst of this, a group of people who are not identifying with either side. These people, in Carl Jung’s words, are holding the tension of opposites. In this podcast, Laura and Bernhard discuss how we can heal this polarized world by being the ones who can hold the tension of opposites. They talk about what it means to hold the tension of opposites, how it relates to shadow work and individuation, the dangers of identifying with one polarized side of the opposites, how it relates to the esoteric concept of igniting the alchemical fire within and more. Show Notes Part 1: The polarization in the world seems to be increasing exponentially Extreme forms of tribal and group identifications on all sides Holding the tension of opposites is necessary on the path of individuation How holding the tension of opposites relates to Shadow Work Paradox has a profound spiritual meaning to it Most people in this world can’t hold paradoxes – instead, they revert to a one-sided position in order to feel more secure The alchemical Axiom of Maria and how a new state of consciousness emerges by holding the tension of opposites The point of the opposites is they temper and restore each other, rather than one overcoming the other The madness of trying to “get rid of the other side” It’s harder to hold the tension when we are emotionally invested in an issue Laura’s story of swinging between left and right (politically) to holding the tension of opposites How to hold the tension of opposites and how it relates to “conscious suffering” With a lack of sincere introspection, you don’t know who you really are The true Self lies beyond like and dislike, attraction and repulsion, preference and rejection The misconceptions about shadow work The difference between conscious suffering (necessary for spiritual work) and unconscious/mechanical suffering (keeping you “in the matrix”) The esoteric concept of igniting the alchemical fire within to “fuse the magnetic center within” [the real “I”] via holding the tension of opposites within Most people lack the capacity and attention span for true introspection The esoteric idea of different false “I’s” and IFS The Law of Chance/Accident and how to “exit the matrix” Holding the tension of opposites is a painful process hence, most people project externally According to Carl Jung, we need at least a “leading minority engaged in the inner work” to “avoid a global catastrophe
  23. When I read some beautifull descriptions using the same word soup here using Infinity and other terms this what came to mind. Would this writer still be in the same attitude if he or she would being told today as aftternoon you will be no more, over, death. If the person would honesty say: yes, no problems, i will live like any other day, no stress. This would be a sign that the person in case understand that there is truly no where to go and no need to worry. So one thing is nice philosophical and metaphysical declarations the other is when death knocks the door. I think I remember a member here that almost lost a child and how that brougth him to some humbleling experience.
  24. True. The proof that you can be aware of infinity and still be extremely biased.
