Nah, the psychological problems still exist. You just learn to love the hell out of it And thank you for the reminder. I do need to see a doctor soon for my physical.

Ironically, I just finished eating some french fries in my house and enjoyed it a lot.

Consciousness contracts and expands. That’s just what it does

A genuine one, ideally. I’d rather appear genuinely stupid than to act inauthentically happy.

This news has made me introspect on how I treat my own fellow humans, especially people close to me. When tensions become high I, too, can take on a barbaric and out-of-control mindset. I could’ve potentially been one of the most sophisticated and sought after terrorists if I was simply born in another country. Crazy to consider.

What would the wolf say?

I’ve personally made a ton of mistakes in all of my human relationships, and I still continue to do so. I’m getting better with them as I face my fears and insecurities in wiser ways. My need for others’ approval and reassurance is becoming increasingly more apparent. I no longer want to put on a constant facade of being a helpless person in need, or even that of someone who has their shit together. Instead, I choose to walk the path of autonomy, authenticity, self-advocacy, clarity, flexibility, integrity, holism (among others). I choose to build connections that stem from these skills and values. As I mature in this process, I will also let go of previous labels and assumptions that were handed down to me in ways I never consented to. In letting go, I will become more powerful and holistic. I’ve got what it takes. Thank you for reading this sentimental piece about meself :-)

“Non-Dual Turbulence State”

Sweet, I scored a 25. When I was reading the second half of your first paragraph I was perplexed, but also fascinated by how used words like that. Now, with this added context, I have a greater appreciation for your style of writing. When I embrace chaos, I do it from a place of detachment… it’s like hugging an empty shell. I don’t even notice the chaos in that moment, but then finally do feel the weight of it days later. It’s as if I have a delayed reaction.

Thank you for sharing, I’m right there with you. Now that I think about it, I’ve never had a terrible interaction with a cop. They’ve all been genuinely caring when I was at my lowest.

Yes, but if the other person is entertaining that idea / agreeing with you instead of helping you be open to new perspectives, then that’s a red flag.

You will never truly know 100% what a person has or is going through. Even if they tell you, it’ll still be a limited and cherry-picked version of the whole person. The more honest and authentic you are with yourself, people close to you will naturally open themselves up more. They’ll start sharing aspects about themselves that you’ve never known before, even if you’ve known the person for decades. This is why remaining open and humble in this work is important. Not just yourself, but the other person as well. Just don’t waste time with people who are completely close-minded, as they will suck you into their fantasy unapologetically.

Ah, yes. I remember addressing this in my previous insight about Human Love. Thank you for the reminder

Aha! This makes sense now. I was about to correct your logic, Leo. However, in basing my original argument, I was focused only on seeing the question as being about someone who has no money or connections or crazy charisma. In this limited sense, my argument would have been valid. Then I re-read the question more holistically and critically and realized I missed an important detail: a normal person. Wow! I could not have taught this style of critical thinking in academia or by watching mainstream news passively and myopically. In those bubbles, everyone inside the bubble acts very biased; zooming in on a limited aspect that they favor (as I originally was about to before I caught myself). We’re conveniently blocking out important context and details when we hyper-fixate in this manner, which then informs our positions, projections, and a host of other problems. This kind of distorted mentality isn’t just applicable with world news; it also has affects other areas of our life as well, such as intimate relationships!

Let’s see what Google Bard thinks, hmmm… Bard coming in… with both a smart and dumb response in one! What I found smart about Bard’s response is it first asks itself, “What is a murderer?”. But then Bard butchers the rest of the response

It’s like a forest fire spinning out of control.

Focus on discovering truth for yourself. Everything else will fall in its place. Trying to fix others can actually make their situation worse when you are doing it from a biased and selfish way. If you can become aware of bias and selfishness in yourself, you’re on the right path. If you outright deny it, then you are only fooling yourself.

Fantastic. That means I can be naive about human nonsense.

I honestly am learning to stop caring about who is right and who is wrong. It’s all just games

I am super sensitive since I was a child. Someone could be joking or even talking about someone else in an offensive way, yet I take it personally. What I am learning to do is realize that people are projecting their own bias onto the world. It has nothing to do with you. It may feel that way, but learn to sit with the discomfort and allow them to have their own opinions without needing to change it or analyze what they said. Humans say stupid shit 24/7. 24/6 if you’re a Catholic, apparently

My style of communicating with others is seeing how others are myself. I have a lot of animosity towards people, so clearly I have a lot of animosity towards myself. Awareness is key to letting go of hatred.

You are holding onto suppressed pain. Let it go and allow the pain to communicate itself in however it wants to

Laugh at how cray cray humanity is

You can raise your consciousness to relate to others on a deeper level.

It’s truly amazing how the deeper you get into this work, the more frequent you’ll experience awakenings. Even the very subtle awakenings are becoming a beauty to bask in. As I’m typing this comment, I’m experiencing increased awareness and connection to others (who are me, of course). This experience, just half a year ago, would have made me call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. And I’ve only begun to scratch the surface! Life is beautiful.
