  1. You can recognize the natural carrots and natural sticks that motivate you to improve. But eventually you must generate intrinsic factors of motivation for yourself, otherwise you will just move inspired by future promisses of pussy and status ( carrot) or run away from fears of punishments (lack of pussy and status) Do you wish that someone cofirm your beliefs about this topic of motivation?what is your aim with this post?
  2. Who is the 1st biggest groomer?
  3. I use to be more nerdy long ago and I remember studying a lot about origing of language, semantics, information architecture and overall uses of language. Last years coming in terms with my own use of language and my thought process I gave myself space to play with language more and not take it so serious. But still as I see all around, language can be a source of confort,inspiration or sometimes the oposite, can cause distress and even depending of the situation and people involved lead to tragedy. So, apart from reading a lot and self-reflection. What sources there are available to use language better and with precision, and less confusion. My aim with this post is not to rely on the members here to serve me with answers but with links to valuable resources. And I will edit this adding what I find too. The first is the link of this audiobook I found on YouTube. The Boof The Tyrany of Words. I am ready listening the part 1. In velocity x1.75 Yes language is tricky but can be very interessanting to explore the structure of it. The way one explore how to use tools. Language can be a tool, what you create or destroy with it is up to you. What a great list of minds to learn from https://generalsemantics.org/Notable-Individuals If you know some great notable name in the field of General Semantics let me know. This field is amazing.
  4. @Aiwass I do Kambo on myself sometimes. I got the medicine directly from indigenous from Amazom. From my experience I love this medicine although when I am passing by the vomit process is very hard,hot and dizzy. I started doing with others first before doing on myself, and also helped praticioners to learn the skills of how to disolve the gel, how to properly make the burns in the skin( a burn only superficial, because if you burn and you see blood, the medicine will enter in you blood circulation and possibily kill you) So not good ideia doing alone if you dont know the skills. Another thing is doing rigth in the morning with empty stomach and after at least a diet of 4 days on ligth food, i mean, is better you not have to much intoxicated body when you do kambo. I did once in desperation because i was so inflamed with bed diet, and in that time I fainted( unconscious) in the middle of the process, i came back to my senses on my knees hitting my face on the earth. I was lucky. So warning, dont do it alone unless you know exactly what are you doing. For the Tribes Kambo is used to heal but also before going to hunt, the kambo gives a solitidy and groundness and energy since it cleans the mucus on the lungs,suprarenals and possibily more effects since is a very intelligent medicine. But I would not recomend doing it to often because it acts almost as a reset in the body, and is not good to make reset so many times( like in your computer) I also do it in the newmoon, because it deals with suprarenals so in the new moon the energy is in the low and will grow up to the fullmoon. So for me I feel the total effects of the kambo in the fullmoon. Also I set an intention for the application. Something I aim to achieve with it, since Kambo acts in the physical,Emotional and Spiritual level. Yoi only understand this when you do it. Like any other medicine, no amount of reading with teach you better than using it. Any questions I forgot to mention?
  5. What are the possibilites of realise absolute solipsism by commenting or reading comments of others about Solipsism? I am asking about the efficacy of this activity. Taking in consideration that if I want something accomplished better to reduce the time and energy on what make my chances to achieve something very unlikely.
  6. I dont need to wait the news to pop up on my newsfeed anymore. Now I just can come into the forum and the Nigthcrawler daily feed me with the best curated selections. https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/2014/12/5/7340681/nightcrawler-jake-gyllenhaal
  7. Some reframing. One day I use to use a lot of " we" and "they" and "you" when most of the times I realised I was talking about me but the reality was so frustrating that I decided unconsciously to use "we", "most people" or "you" to subtly avoid connecting my discurse to myself. Is a strategy. But most often fail. Why would I support a society that rewards me with nothing. Life is for enjoying. Not for slaving away for a shit system designed ( by who?) to exploit me and entrap me in endless debt so I am forced to work for the banking political elite. It's modern day feudalism. They siphon all the tax money to themselves, bail out their friends award subsidizes to their buddies, line their pockets when hard workers in construction, agriculture, factories etc… struggle to get by with broken backs. Just because I didn't get a college degree doesn't mean I should have to break my back and suffer indignities for a barely liveable salary for the rest of my life i demand that Shit needs to change. Only the wealthy get to enjoy life and their money makes them money. Where I just work as slave to make them wealthier. The only carrot they have is the bare minimum pittance to keep the work horse prodding along and that's no longer working. Obviously I cant expect to make six figures doing customer service or some other low level entry bullshit ass job. BUT STILL the conditions are worse now and fucking boomers flipping burgers as teens made enough money PART-TIME at the minimum wage to rent two-bedroom apartments. Working full-time today requires me to have roommates at best. There is no "just work harder!" solution. Civilisation has dangled the carrot in front of the worker mules for so long that it forgot to give the mules some basic feed to keep it going. Just because society is fucked and there is no carrot, instead an endless stick, whacking people and burying them in debt. When I complain about having to work also I never seem to want to do anything else meaningful in my life. Neets always brag about being able to sit around and play video games but never talk about doing anything to improve their lives with all of their free time. Just seems like wasting their lifes in a different form, out of spite and laziness. I shouldn't be some bum wasting my life on bullshit. I should work, and when I work I should do because I enjoy what I do, and to support a necessary and important industry. Obviously being good at my job and like most things if I am good at something I enjoy doing ,that gives me an immense sense of satisfaction on a daily basis. Work is good, what isn't good is being exploited and working for a shit system. Going without the important satisfaction of being competent and skilled in a job can cause a lot of distress. But when working hard gets you nowhere. You earn your living, and the cost of living keeps outpacing your earnings. Owning a house goes from a couple years away to out of reach in a very short period time. It's rational to be demotivated. It's also rational to sidestep the scam that is college education.
  8. Someone is asking for a good Manjusri medicine.
  9. I do work to survive to work into the trancendence of survival. In in between I enjoy the ride.
  10. My profile pic is me
  11. Give sugestions, say : I have a proposition: What if? Or you make a invitation and see if the person open up to it. If not accept that. I wanted to meet a girl but she was emotionally close to meet. Why would you want to be with someone by means of manipulation? Why would that be satisfactory? You could do like flowers do with bees, you takes care of the perfume and the polen and the bees comes to you. The flower sends a invitation and offers something that satisfy the bees needs, and by this process both get what they need. When you observe it in nature you see the pure harmony. You can project bussiness paradigms on in as you wish, but when you observe in nature you cannot say who is seducing who. Is the flower seducing the bee for its purpouses? or is the bee forcing the flower to be shaped in a way that allows the bee to get polen? Who is manipulating who? Symbiotic is nature, a participatory Universe. A infinite loop.
  12. This the grip hard to let go. Even to answer a forum thread one must survive as a self, as a "I am this" and not "that". I am answering some "other" mind "out there "
  13. I loved the video. One of the best things I ever heard in life. And I am greatfull that finally someone got the guts to say it outloud. The words still echoes sometimes when I remember " Is not that you are Alone, is that you are So Thogheter" ... and I see all around right now, there is nothing missing, nothing to add, nothing to eliminate. How to eliminate a dream? This would be a nice book to read. How to eliminate a dream.
  14. I imagine how hard should be in the old day for yogis and zen masters to be able to do their practices and not having a forum to give them hints about every detail of their meditation. Relax you jaw. You can cosnciously do it. Dont wait for when you are in deep meditation. Do it everyday. Catch youself in tesion everyday. Sometimes I feel pain in the arms or neck due to the pressure in the buttocks. I think leo have a video on his blog about finding a good sposture to meditation. For me is a constant work of ajustament. Good musculature, yoga practice, detoxing the lympatic system is good too. But overall only you can discover the causes since nobody here can listen to your body better than yourself.
  15. One experience I had resumes all this trap. I was so imersed in the ideia of Oness, only the ideia of Oness and not the actual Oness that is much more deep than only the idea. So one day sitting in a kitchen with this Ucranian Girl, a very developed girl that at that time was able to see through my spiritual bypassing. So she was trying to mirror to me some of my biases and I dont remember what was,but, my answer to her was " ahhh everything is one anymway or everything is illusion anyway!!" And her answer to me was : " Don't use Oneness to escape looking to your mistakes". So in a sense all this Oness stuff can be weponized to justify any shit the ego want to do and feel good about. And at same time this articles can be used by people to avoid going deep just because they decided previously that this can become a spiritual bypass situation.
  16. Leo Gura have Online Bodyguards. How can Nobody have body guards?
  17. Because God cannot be actualized?
  18. That are the things one must read between the lines. I see it all the time. I even saw it in Osho style, he goes on speaking and is enjoyable and suddenly when one is not expecting he hits the hammer rigth in the head of ego. I notice in your videos that the hammer hit comes around almost in the end. All the butthurts and impatient spirits quit after the first or second hour of videos. The brave stay to recive the hammer. Dont change the style. Or do whatever you wish.
  19. Likes and dislikes are the disease of mind. I also would love to be a Realitybender. Like the Avatar the last airbender. But no, is enogth hard the work to keep my diet in line, wake up early to get sunligth and taking care or the daily challenges.
  20. One thing is getting the "Ahaaa!! is dream" . That by itself can super scary. Then comes the hard part " How is dream being created? The structure of it, including cold,hot, the humitidy in the nose,the pain in the neck, the noise of rice boiling in the stove, noise of the gate opening with the wind. I just described limited pieces of my actual experience. What I want to say is, the hard part being aware of the dream day by day while walking, eating,showering, talking,writing online, and so on.
  21. Free Publicity. Nassin Talled said in one his books that he put controvestial stuff on his writings on purpouse because he knows someone will post critics about it somewhere in the news so in this way he will have free advertisement. It works. Is the old adage " Speak bad think but speak about me" When I was teen I remember telling girls about some guy I knew and I used to give warnings to them like " hey dont talk with guy he is an asshole" and in the end they end up dating the guy. So I was indirectly making advertisement to the guy.
  22. This reminds me of a lucid dream I had where I was inna debate with a guy inside the dream and I was telling him: Dude!! Can yoi see it!! Look to me, I am dreaming and you are just a image inside my dream! I was all excited trying to prove that guy that he was nothing but a image in my dream. And he could say a word. He reamained silent as a zombie, silent as a GTA character. Than I wake up, and realized the stupidity of what I aas dong in that dream. How could I expect that guy to answer me? Hahaha
  23. Wow, language is very tricky..
