The purpose of this journal is to share questions, humor, miscellaneous creative content, and raw reflections on personal empowerment and consciousness. My goals are to deepen my experiential understanding of these topics, improve my communication skills, have fun, and help others see things in a new light.

Got it, thank you.

Forgetting?

I get it. I'm like the woman in the video who needs that version of Duolingo

What if the episode was made by AI itself?

Beautiful 😍

Of course. As an exercise, you can also imagine someone communicating an emotionless experience to you, and see that as possible. Just to make space around this topic of emotions. It's the experience we're talking about - beyond the expression. It might be that the context and other relevant details are included in the experience being conveyed. Anyway, something to contemplate.

It's your job to have it - whatever it turns out to be. For one week, contemplate what listening is and what it requires. Try to set aside your own baggage - especially what you think you already 'know' - and question what this act really is. Other related questions: What is the act of paying attention? Why am I listening (hearing or reading) to this communication - or manipulation? What am I trying to get out of it? How can I step out of my own intellectual world so that I can better hear? Where is this person coming from, and what is their experience? Or simply: What is actually going on in the other person's experience?

GOD - He knows what turns you on! Haha

Just messing with ya I'm not sure what you meant by the above - our perspective.

Are you calling me a jerk? Because if that's the case, I'm going to have to agree.

You know, that's a good take. A ruthless teacher you passionately dislike might actually be performing the highest acts of compassion. From our perspective, he or she just seems like a jerk. But ultimately, they prod you along like a stubborn mule into a well - or something like that. This image contrasts with the common fantasy of love. 💕

Nice. First one's got Sauron eyes.

Oh Jesus

That's that therian stuff

Thanks. I've always wondered about the assumptions underlying scientific thinking regarding some of these matters, so good luck with my questionnaire. No meaning and high joy at the same time. Also, money! Seriously though, good work. I hope you guys discover something.

Can't escape enlightenment. Poor-quality photo by choice.

This one? Book list - Joseph Maynor.pdf Oh, you also had an updated one from 2022.

Not at all - on my part, at least. I'm saying stop thinking about playing soccer and get into the match - so to speak. Once the match is over, we can have stimulating conversations about the nature of the cosmos and philosophy.
