Sometimes it's hard to tell if you're setting a trap or falling into one.

It seems like you posted this to seek validation lol.

Pursuing spirituality before mastering basic survival skills is a dangerous trap for young people.

Recently, Chatgpt drew a picture of a god. The prompt was to draw a happy rabbit, and keep making it happier until it turned into a god. This got me thinking, imagine talking to an AI trained on a vast database of knowledge of spiral dynamics. This bot could become a powerful tool. Imagine if thousands of people with expertise in spiral dynamics trained this GPT model - that would be so cool!

I'm not sure if you would consider this to be "evil marketing", but I think it's brilliant

I'm looking for some advice from experienced video editors. I've completed a beginner's course on Premiere Pro via LinkedIn, but it only went over the basics. Can you recommend any resources for learning video editing from scratch? I'd love to hear about good practices that can help improve my editing skills. Also, do you have any favorite YouTube channels, courses, or blogs that you find helpful and can suggest? By the way, how do you know if an edit is good? What are the things you look for?

Back in 2010, I received an F for this masterpiece. Can you believe it?

@Lila9 Leo's Life Purpose Course sales page employs the same manipulative techniques. In my opinion, using manipulative tactics is acceptable as long as you deliver the promised results/benefits. I think you'll find this documentary very interesting:

I totally agree with you. You should gather experience and do as many dumb things as possible when you are young. The brain is more plastic before age 25, and young people are more susceptible to the influence of their experiences. Therefore, mystical experiences can be detrimental to their mental health and cause delusions rather than enlightenment. For instance, my best friend ended up in a mental institution after experimenting with DMT. I think that this is the great video to watch:

Dude, I don't know if you're reading my mind or something, but I was thinking of posting his channel here as well. But I was like, "Nah, it's not relevant to Qigong." But then I came back to the forum and saw that you had already posted it...

Mike often says, "This is your practice, do it however you like. There is no right or wrong way to do it." And it's true because it's a matter of personal preference. However, I believe you can't enter a deep state of relaxation without completely exhausting your body first. Leo has a great book in his booklist called "The Power of Full Engagement," which explains why our physical energy needs to circulate. By the way, effortless qigong is a fantastic channel.

Man, it took me years to fully appreciate the benefits of practicing Qigong. It has dramatically improved my body awareness, helping me to realize how tense my body is throughout the day, especially in the neck and facial muscles. Check out Mike Chang's Flow Workout, which includes Qigong in the first 20 minutes of practice. For those who don't know, Mike Chang was a famous fitness celebrity and the founder of "SixPackShortcuts." He had 6 million followers on YouTube about ten years ago, but suddenly, he deleted his channel and disappeared for a few years. He recently returned and shared his story of a life-changing spiritual awakening. He is a true example of a person who transcended stage orange.

@An young being The living organisms within our body don’t realize they’re inside a living being. It’s a frightening thought that we might actually be in the same exact situation.

After reading this text for the first time, I am filled with a sense of profound emotion that is difficult to put into words. Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of Earth taken by the Voyager 1 space probe on February 14, 1990, from a distance of approximately 6 billion kilometers (search image on Google). The following is excerpt from Carl Sagan's book Pale Blue Dot: " Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known. "

@Lila9 Whether marketing is good or bad depends on your perspective. Harmon Brothers, who are considered the best in the video marketing industry, have created some amazing videos. In my opinion, marketing is both an art and a science. However, it is up to the individual to decide whether they will use it in an ethical or unethical manner.
