Without basic rigor and self-honesty you can just make up anything in your own mind and call that an insight. You can proactively create experiences that are consistent with your view, desires, beliefs, biases, etc. Without rigor it's easy for these endeavors to turn into big forms of confirmation bias. It's the external standard (so to speak), something that isn't your persona, that decides what's an insight, or what's true and real - not your character. Without rigor, or call it reality if you will, you easily get in the way of this assessment. There's actually a huge line between fantasy and insight. The same as between a lie and the truth. I don't think of insight as merely having a good idea, or as necessarily an intellectual occurrence - though those exist too - but it has to be real and oftentimes factual, like Newton and the apple and such. It isn't about coming up with interesting ideas, or exchanging beliefs. I feel these are easy to confuse.

You can use the search function for that. The thread was started by @Miguel1.

Weirdest win ever. Losing is relative.

@Thought Art Shall we add you to THE LIST? I'm kidding - you were already on it. @zurew can run circles around people in here when it comes to good-quality thinking and analysis. Perhaps people's animosity towards his persona is indicative of having one's fictions challenged. I mean, you can see, by way of contrast, when people interact with him, who tends to be the defensive party and who tends to be the more "impartial observer." Do you need Leo to tell you what to pay attention to here? Talk about truth-seeking.

I understand that you are too conscious and developed to entertain low-consciousness people; however, you could also consider that something might be true even if you’re strongly resistant to looking into it for whatever reason. Stepping back from things generally helps you make a less biased evaluation. And just to leave us on a good note: God is Consciousness. The Self-Luminous and All-Loving realization of one's Nature demands complete and full alignment with The Law of Trueness. Did you like that better? Am I worthy of your consideration now?

If marketing is purely seen as a way to make your service or product visible, then there's no problem with that framing. In practice, of course, this tends to be a messy and highly manipulative - even if subtly - process, not a straightforward "Here's my high-quality product; try it and let me know how it hoes."

Portugal can definitely do it (I think they have a better team than Argentina), but the guy is... 41, I think. His level of performance in games like these remains to be seen. He missed a few clear chances in a friendly yesterday.

Did they win that in the end? Wasn't it the cup they won months after having lost the match?

That must have been exciting. It was more of a jab, Italy didn't even qualify out of the 48 teams. 😬 The bastards eliminated Spain and Portugal in the last world cup, reaching the semifinals. I don't think they're as strong as back then, though, but you never know.

I guess this showcases the tendency being referred to. Recognize your beliefs.

Do both then, Yoga and sitting down. Or don't. It was just an observation about the body and often the mind adapting to longer than usual sittings. I don't think you can get away from some degree of discomfort there. Depending on your situation you might want to choose different modalities. Awaken while playing soccer - or while doing anything else. This is something you can do.

I don't know how to respond to that in a way that would be useful. Here: Use the value of the work to undermine that tendency of yours.

I'd rather not, it's a waste of time. Go through the thread if you want. Then don't encourage it and call it out when you see it. Sometimes this might require a direct confrontation with people in here, otherwise the point won't land. I guess the main issue is being able to see it occurring in the first place, which for you might be harder to do, because this is your place. @Miguel1 You are part of the main audience all this cult chatter is directed at. Not really. I'm sure you don't consider Bentinho, Teal, the Aaron guy, and Mooji cults, but they essentially are.

Ok, back to rizz, whatever that means.

They recently won the Nations League, if I recall - beating Spain. I'm just looking forward to Italy's performance.

That looks wonderful in a serif. Imagine Shakespeare writing that in the 1600s

Exchange Germany for Portugal and that's my list.

No Foden and no Palmer 🥶 It's still a very strong contender, though! The ball will be controlled by third parties from outside the stadium. How do you expect Ronaldo to score goals?

No Spain? They're the main favorites. The injured players will have to get back into form quickly, though. I think Cristiano could at some point become a burden to the Portugal team. We'll see. Brazil for some reason keeps disappointing in these tournaments lately. Germany used to be a stronger team than they are now. France lacks a distinctive play style and they somehow always reach the semifinals as if it were commonplace.

No, long-term injury. Neymar will presumably recover from his injury soon.

It must be true, then. What are you waiting for?

@Someone here What are your predictions?

It's your metabolism, and the ice cream.
