Different characteristics between those two styles by GPT: Renaissance-Style Painting: 1. Chiaroscuro Technique: This technique involves the use of strong contrasts between light and dark to give the illusion of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures. 2. Detailed and Realistic: Renaissance art is known for its attention to detail and realistic representation of subjects. The Mars rover in this style is depicted with intricate designs and textures. 3. Warm Color Palette: The use of deep reds, golden hues, and rich browns creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. 4. Heroic and Formal Composition: The subject, in this case, the Mars rover, is positioned in a noble and heroic manner, similar to portraits of explorers or knights. 5. Perspective and Depth: Renaissance paintings often have a strong sense of depth and perspective, making the scene look three-dimensional. --- Impressionist-Style Painting: 1. Vibrant Brush Strokes: Impressionist paintings use short, quick brush strokes to capture the essence and movement of the scene rather than focusing on fine details. 2. Light and Airy Atmosphere: The overall mood is lighter and more ephemeral, with an emphasis on how light affects the colors and forms. 3. Blend of Warm and Cool Tones: The Martian landscape is depicted with a mix of warm and cool tones, creating a softer and more varied color palette. 4. Sense of Movement: The rover is portrayed with a sense of motion, making the scene feel dynamic and alive. 5. Dreamlike Quality: Impressionist paintings often have a serene and dreamlike quality, emphasizing the impression of the scene rather than a precise depiction. These differences reflect the distinct artistic philosophies and techniques of the two movements, with the Renaissance focusing on detailed realism and formal composition, while Impressionism captures fleeting moments and the play of light and color.

I've read it and it definitely is one of those books that need to be reread and contemplated multiple times.

Glad I could help.

Why not a krill oil supplement?

What is everything?

What does it take to grasp a communication?

ADHD brain-mode at night.

@Jehovah increases silly to conflate physical death with awakening; it's just grasping it (your nature).

I'd question whether that is actually an experience. Opportunity to be more honest if that were the case.

@Jehovah increases Don't confuse fantasies with a grounded investigation of what's true. Believing that death or dying has anything to do with consciousness is silly. It is best if we approach matters without spiritual ideals that just muddy the waters.

Cut people some slack.@noselfself

What does it take to become conscious of the true nature of something, i.e self, other, life, emotions? It just so happens that insight must be experientially generated by you. If you don't personally and directly experience what something is as itself, then you don't know what's true relative to the subject matter being discussed; no amount of concept, knowledge, belief, and conviction will change that condition in the least. This is the principle of genuine personal experience.

If we don't directly experience the true nature of anything, then what does it take to become conscious of it? It just so happens that you have to create insight in your own experience and there's no way around that —that's the spirit of consciousness work. If you don't experience it, it doesn't exist for you, except perhaps as a concept. Anything other than a direct personal encounter won't change our condition of ignorance in these matters, regardless of belief conviction, and even knowledge. This is the principle of genuine (and in this case, direct) experience.

Hey, you are essentially telling him to contemplate, too.

@NoSelfSelf @Rishabh R yeah you could ask how can I best assist this person with his dilemma? @Rishabh R Basically, being non-reactive would require a fundamental shift in one's experience. Obviously, I'm not exclusively talking about dating and relationships, because this is a deeper dynamic. Essentially, you could clarify what it is you want to ask. I'd guess it has to do with being okay with rejection, which is different from being non-reactive. Keep making progress. That you have talked with many girls is a positive sign already. Be willing to be rejected and that will decrease your fear of it, which in turn will allow you to be more relaxed and authentic.

That is a pretty deep study that requires changing the context of your experience. Start by trying to experience things for themselves.

Magic! Disseminating a particular cosmology, fantastical thinking, entertainment. These might make people feel good temporarily but just assists them in becoming believers. If he was called Jacob, was born in Ohio, wore normal clothes and didn't have a beard, that'd simplify the process of evaluating his communications. Not to say valuable work can't be done regardless of awakening, btw.

You misunderstand, and that's okay. It is better to leave enlightenment up for grabs and not to confuse your ideas about it with relative things like historical events and lifestyle. As for Sadhguru, it seems to me that he experienced a powerful state of some sort when he was young, but I don't "hear" a direct consciousness from him. Of course, this could be a fault or misstep in my "listening" abilities.

Directly conscious of her nature.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that.

Happy to hear that.

Guru Gura.

No mustard? Savage!
