I also like to frame this with basketball. You have streetball, high school, college, WNBA, NBA, etc. It depends on the context… you can be extremely talented in your domain, but not fit in at all or compete in another. For example, you can be the best high school basketball player in the country, but get your butt kicked in the NBA. Stop trying to emulate Michael Jordan when you should really be focusing on being the best middle school basketball player!! Also, imagine an alien who can whoop Michael Jordan’s butt any day of the week.

What comes to mind for me is a musician who releases albums. An artist’s music catalogue can contain albums that are critically acclaimed, some mediocre, and maybe 1-2 that are downright hated. So who is full of shit, the artist, the audience, or the critics?

I choose option 3

@Jason Actualization cool, thank you!! I remember messaging Mark Burhenne like 8 years ago and he responded to me as well. Great insight and information

@PenguinPablo consider they neurodiverse people communicate in a way that doesn’t compute with neurotypical people and vice-versa. Doesn’t mean one is necessarily better than the other. its like asking a penguin to make out with a zebra

I’ve met musicians who have no formal training, don’t do vocal practices, yet they sound like saints.

Maturity.

Near death experiences are certainly possible and cannot be truly experienced simply be reading up about it.

His eyes in the music video are nice

I am just realizing more and more that what I considered sane is actually not so sane after all. In other words, let’s be open to new and foreign states of consciousness. Responsibly and with great intuition.

For me, it’s to replace them with healthier structures. Your entire life becomes a suffocation when your entire structure is suffocating.

Why do detectives like solving mysteries?

My IQ is too high for an IQ test to quantify

Notice how there are times in your life you can recall something unfolding perfectly, and you realize it was possible when you realize that you weren’t controlling or in control.

You can reduce judgement of these thoughts and focus more on exploring the pure intelligence of the mind. Just breathe, mate!

Judging the judgement - watch out for that one.

Trust me, we can learn a lot more from children if we open our minds to it.

@Hojo like how you can rewatch a movie multiple times and still find new meaning or details you may have missed the previous times. The key is to explore, rather than needing things to be a particular way.

Let’s set a mature example and be mindful to not personally attack other users.

From a broader perspective, I find that people who are considered “unhelpful” members of society, such as those who are homeless, criminals, folks on disability, etc. are actually helpful in raising awareness of systemic issues we have in our society. Pushing these people away and simply blaming them for all of our problems is the bigger issue here.

There are plenty of police officers, firefighters, nurses, etc. with mental illnesses of various kinds. I would assume you also consider these folks heroes.

Because everything includes there and not there, sleep and awake, birth and death…

@Rafael Thundercat that thumbnail is literally me when I experience another awakening.

We tend to confuse change with death, but the twist is that Infinity will never die in the way we assume it to.

The recognition that Consciousness is every name! It ain’t self consciousness…. It’s Love Okay, back to not-mumbo-jumbo talk…, heh
