What basicsly each and everyone is doing is this: Making questions to themselfs and answering the questions to themselfs with a language that they arbitraliy got from their enviroment, no so different than a macaw repeating sounds or an AI giving outputs with the inputs it got. And since all you got from the outside is already inside you just got all from yourself or better from SELF.

The magician.

So true.

@Amit @Galyna go drink a coffee together.

SOMETIMES A CERTAIN VIBE OR WAY OF SEEING LIFE IS JUST COMING FROM A PART OF US THAT WE ARE IGNORING

Making a resarch for a client who I am helping to create the Conceptual and Imagery Context for her brand I go this nice explanation of why Odin lost one Eye, NAD IF you contamplate this is not far from what anyone need to do to acess a vast ocean of Wisdom: Key words on Bold : WHY ODIN IS ONE-EYED Odin in an Icelandic illuminated manuscript (18th century) Odin’s quest for wisdom is never-ending, and he is willing to pay any price, it seems, for the understanding of life’s mysteries that he craves more than anything else. On one occasion, he hanged himself, wounded himself with his spear, and fasted from food and drink for nine days and nights in order to discover the runes. (HERE WE READY CAN SEE HE WAS REALLY DEDICATED ) On another occasion, he ventured to Mimir’s Well – which is surely none other than the Well of Urd– amongst the roots of the world-tree Yggdrasil. There dwelt Mimir, a shadowy being whose knowledge of all things was practically unparalleled among the inhabitants of the cosmos. He achieved this status largely by taking his water from the well, whose waters impart this cosmic knowledge. When Odin arrived, he asked Mimir for a drink from the water. The well’s guardian, knowing the value of such a draught, refused unless the seeker offered an eye in return. Odin – whether straightaway or after anguished deliberation, we can only wonder – gouged out one of his eyes and dropped it into the well. Having made the necessary sacrifice, Mimir dipped his horn into the well and offered the now-one-eyed god a drink. An Interpretation The most general and obvious message of this tale is that, for those who share Odin’s values, no sacrifice is too great for wisdom. The (unfortunately fragmentary) sources for our current knowledge of the pre-Christian mythology and religion of the Norse and other Germanic peoples are, however, silent on exactly what kind of wisdom Odin obtained in exchange for his eye. But we can hazard a guess. The fact that Odin specifically sacrificed an eye is surely significant.In all ages, the eye has been “seen” as a poetic symbol for perception in general– consider the astonishing number of expressions, both in everyday usage and in the works of the great canonical poets, that use vision as a metaphor for perceiving and understanding something. Given that Odin’s eye was sacrificed in order to obtain an enhanced perception, it seems highly likely that his pledge of an eye symbolizes trading one mode of perception for another. What mode of perception was exchanged for what other mode, then? The answer to this question lies in the character of Mimir. Mimir, whose name means “The Rememberer,” seems to have been the being who told the gods how to live in accordance with ancestral tradition, and with wisdom more generally. In the tale of Odin’s discovery of the runes, Odin sacrificed what we might call his “lower self” to his “higher self.” Here, his relinquishment of an eye should surely be understood along similar lines: he exchanged a profane, everyday mode of perception, beleaguered with countless petty troubles, for a sacred mode of perception informed by divine, ancestral wisdom.

@destroyx6 true, sometimes we have visionaries and they are not exactly the ones who will implement the change, they come just to be prophets of a new vision, and this ready take a lot energy, they bring the voice and others bring the hands, we cant be everything. I strangely was listening this song while writing these https://open.spotify.com/intl-pt/track/1az81rJLzs4sRx0aFcweoo?si=986bec76e58f44f2

Well among other readings I am doing these days and making art and editing y new commom book, I want to share that I am taking time to make my own summaries of the Videos I most like, not in a particular order, just the ones that I fell conect with some insigth that vibes with my daily life topics Since I was imersed in my Commombook builting I remembered to check the video about it and also the video about Content vs Structure. this one below : So what i think is nice to do is to make a summary for yourself. why? because maybe I f I would make to someone else I would have the tendency to adapt it to capture most of the examples he gives in the video, I personaly dont need all the content of one video. sometimes what really get are one or another highligth I will of course not post in the forum all summaries I do . I just sharing this just to give one ideia : my Summary end up filling a small page in I will post here. Probably some videos are unsummarizable (for example the video WHAT IS ACTUAL) because are more a guided meditation and not a explanation of conceptual ideias , my guess: Content /Structure Dvd disc (Structure) vs Data on it (Content) English Language (Structure) Stuff writen or thougth is Content built with English structure Event (Srructure of it ) vs (Contents of the Event) Dreams (Structure) vs (Houses,people, dogs…) Movies (Structure) vs (Content ) "You can wake up from a dream by changing content withing a dream, by going to talk with people, catching books, buying a house.. You break up from it by realizing that there is a metalevel in it, you see something so weird going on that you shift attention from the content and you realize the structure and then you BING, ah I am dreming!! And you wake up" Going Meta is needed to see the structures, a steping back to see better the dimentions of it The ideia is be able to see the Underlining Structure of Things, not getting wrap-up in the content Going Meta on Science: Seeing the Structure of it Going Meta on Religion: No see the content but underline structure of all religions (Ideology,Dogma, Authority figures) Reality is Nested Structures Differences in content distracts from seeing the sameness in the structure Examples of this point: Christianity and Islamism (different contents but same structure) Atheist and Theist (Both belive they are rigth and the other is wrong) Start Studying the Structure of Consciouness and dont get lost in Content. The content if a Infinite Sea. Like a fish in the ocean not able to go Meta and undestand the Whole Stucture of the Sea STUDY THE STRUCTURE OF YOU MIND: Projection Denial Ideology Clinging to Ideias and Beliefs Confirmation Bias CheeryPicking Paradigmes Question Begging Self-bias Justification Moralization Group- Think Conformity Cult-psycology Judgement Demonization Ego Emotions Meaning making and storytelling Roles you play Posing You biggest problem is Happiness (it cant be solved on the level of content since all you can add as content will not make longlast change Happines is a Structural Problem, Go meta here and change the Structure of your psyque. Even a Psycadelic brings Bliss Content but after with no change in your structure the effects fade away and you are back to your default structure. Psycadelics is to show the Structure so you go and do the Work on the Structure so you get the fruits. Whatever you go there you are, you take your structure with you, your mindset, habits all..

@Carl-Richard true, try to check her face language while listening. I almost think that in some point she start getting excited or horny with the talk. Dont know, maybe projection from my side but I see she bitting her lips and other signs I normaly get when I am expressing inteligently with a girl. My assumption, for some women inteligence is sexy.

Lol

It intent itself into existence, it is happenimg rigth now, even if one dont know how. And the miracle is that you dont need to do anything, is just here, bling

Everything is BS because you de-enchanted yourself from reality, you need to put a spell onto yourself. How? By Speeling yoi way into a new self, speak, write,read, feed you being with content that inspire you, music,food, bettee peers, work on your structural stuff, your positioning in life. With a balance bettwen being kind and fierce. Kind enogth for the limitations and fierce enogth with going to the edges and accepting self generated challenges. Check everything that de-enchant you from life and cut away as it was a pest. And avoid looking for scapegoats and shity excusses. BS can be used as fertilizers Read the book Creativity as a way of Living by Rick Rubin Good Luck, and Good Work

@Zeroguy: Go for a walk..everyday, search atively for inspiration ( breath fresh air), eat Whole foods, Correct you circadian (sleep) And this https://www.sloww.co/wise-walk/

@SeaMonster When you say Contacting the shadow is a heavy thing it implies you had passa there. So in this case was your insigth? What had you learn about yourself from the Shadow work you did?

For example, I was on a iternal Bet that you @Danioover9000 would be the very first one to comment. blinggg 1 point to my prediction skills. Not difficult since you a very predictable

I dont take any video like this as absolute truth, my aim in watching is to Study Mind, Their minds and my mind, how I react with the things said, to I fear, do I lose my mind, whatever, for me this videos are just training the thougth process and I actually just like to understand how is the way they operate. Imagine you are interacting with a super inteligent AI able to generate narratives by itself, generating its own question or prompts and giving its own answers, Well is not exactly what is happening when you listen two people in a conversartion like this , inputs, outputs, inputs, outputs... some reflection... more outputs,,

so go to rest a bit

give more space in your texts, I make the readability tiressome and to be honest i will not even read.
