Yes... I've seen this first hand. Mix of stage Blue/Orange mindset mixed with spirituality as an accessory to attract business/clients. In reality, these people are just parroting nice-sounding lines and not doing any of the hard work themselves. When you point out truth to them they simply ignore you because it would make them have to question what they're doing.

Maybe mild depression hit you? Do you have a clue as to what triggered the "flip"? Something happened.. or a series of things, that caused you to "give up" so to speak.

Didn't read too many fictions... but I liked Kafka on the Shore, the Wind-Up Bird Chronicle; besides things like Harry Potter and Dan Brown's works.

LOL I was just gunna share that one... Yes he's an inspiration for me too.. Mang this sounds just like when I played it... yes the middle part was surreal and was a "milestone" , and last part I couldn't play it fast either.. rofl.

Hah. Chopin had a thing with Lizst yeah, but all the more content for us as a result.

This one's pretty accessible, was very meditative to play

Any Hisaishi fans?

Thanks lmao. Now since you said I could share multiple... This one's fun... I can't play it though rofl.

Something non-classical.

@thisintegrated ? Yup... another masterpiece. And Lugansky always executes it so well!

@T_i_m love that one also.. It's really heavy/emotionally draining to practice though.

??? Ughhh too many to list... but maybe: Chopin Nocturne Op 48, No. 1 Have to throw in also: Rachmaninoff Prelude Op 23, No. 2 It's impossible for me to just pick one .

Maybe see a naturopath for a more comprehensive treatment plan or at least another opinion. I just started seeing one now and I have already learned some things that I wouldn't otherwise have known from her.

I find it pretentious/obnoxious lol.

@Husseinisdoingfine Saw that same clip yesterday lmao! ? (Fyi, I recommend that youtube channel subscription for the membership - tons of recordings of Osho)

Maybe you should just take some time off of it ???... or try small doses.

Well if it starts to not feel good... I wouldn't keep doing it. Let them come to you and see what happens. That also opens you up to meeting new people!

Yes mostly in places like Vancouver, but also online shops...

I was a bit hesitant to share this but depending on the market you're in, 30k might be enough for investing/downpayment in a rental suite. That is if after assessing risks you see a potential for positive return on it. You'd want to have backup cash in case it doesn't rent out/sits vacant. So this advice is only really good if you're in a decent market with not already over-inflated prices.

Few suggestions... Don't need to force ego death if you aren't completely there yet. It's better I find that you've reached a point where living from the ego/seperate self no longer fulfills you and you have a longing to "expand"/"go beyond". And a healthy ego is still required for some stuff even after dissolution, just integrated as part of a larger whole. Dealing with the transition... It can take time. Maybe for some it could be instantly blissful especially if they had a rather difficult life or have been looking for answers to existential questions, but for others there could be a period of "grieving", sense of loss and disorientation, confusion. Accept the feelings and resistence. Take the time you need for the new orientation. Look forward to the peacefulness and unconditional love it should start to invite to your life to help you with the confusion/discomforts.

Oh god it's been so long, but some names that come to mind are NaDa, BoxeR, MMA, NesTea. I stopped following the tournaments after around 2013. And geebus you got pretty far with it! Yeah it's really competitive.

Yes it's pretty epic . He composed it after going through a period of depression. Thanks for sharing those too. I haven't explored Schubert as much yet.

Yeah it was a lot of fun lmao. : ) I used to stay up to watch Korean esports tournaments, good times.

I don't play anymore but past favorites: Transistor, Starcraft, Ragnarok Online, Stardew Valley, Bastion, Metal Gear Solid 1& 3, Portal, Persona, Catherine, Tearaway, Journey, Moonlighter ?
