Why are the titles so important? I get that it could mislead. But titling an artwork is a project in itself.

And how has this worked out for you?

A lot of these police cam videos are fake.

A good question is what is faith. Faith seems to have an element of trust in it that might not be up to the standard of truth. Maybe or maybe not, but this is a borderline thing that requires discernment or epistemology maybe to settle on.

I appreciate this. I would change it in one way. It's not my answer, it's your answer.

I'm curious if you have found out.

Really?

Happy Birthday Leo

If this were true, you wouldn't post about this topic anymore. You'd be done with it. The action would speak for itself.

I'm not sure, but if you feel strongly about this, I respect that. You're doing well.

You too. You deserve it. I've known you a long time!

I already understand this.

This sounds pretty controlling. I'm not sure why you would want this.

I think I already know. Keep doing you.

Ok, then to be fair, what about your powers of persuasion?

It's actually the inverse of this. The burden of proof isn't on me.

@Hojo I don't know how we can determine epistemologically that I don't exist or that others don't exist.

I've never been persuaded by the other people don't exist hypothesis.

But is surrender enough? Who is surrendering? And also attachment seems to be something that is here. Why deny that? What's the underlying need to avoid being a self so much?

There is not much change except you have to become more conscious of health as you get older. Diet, exercise, meditation, and avoiding things that sap your energy that are not needed. The older I get the happier I get actually.

Really?

It seems that way because it's nearly impossible to prove spirituality to someone else.

I wonder why you're so interested in enlightenment but sometimes in equal measure you want to rid yourself of it. It's a weird paradox. I'm curious.

Set an intention in writing, review it every day, realize things can take time, try to inspire yourself to make the change, pretend you are teaching someone to do what you want to do, think of it as a change in chapter and make a theme out of it, try to make a timebound challenge out of it (e.g. 90 day challenge).

I'm confused about what is being said here.
