  1. I get what you are saying, but I am trying to avoid the idea that I am doing nothing. That doesn't do anything for me.
  2. I'm really enjoying talking with and meeting people lately.
  3. I don't think what you said here is restricted to religion per se. Replace religion with some other communication.
  4. Point Break (1991). Saw this in the theater today as a retro movie.
  5. It takes a lot of experience and practice to learn how to talk to people naturally.
  6. This is what confuses me. If everything is Good, how could there be evil? Why would we need to change anything?
  7. This is kinda true. But it is what we do, create art.
  8. Leo has a right to create however he wants to. Nobody is taking any offense to that.
  9. There is no duality between the individual and the relation when it comes to God.
  10. You guys are trying to establish rapport real fast.
  11. If you have a relationship with God, hierarchy of religions makes no sense.
  12. But having a relationship with God is different from thinking you are God, no?
  13. A lot of spiritual people are seriously confused about morality.
  14. This is the conclusion I came to.
  15. I think the best thing to do is listen to a lot of music, play a lot of music, work on your chords and scales, and your ear training. Be able to apply musical principles by practicing harmony, time, playing tunes. And then you can play with others too. But it has to come out of you. You are embodying music alone and accompanying others who are doing the same too maybe.
  16. You get a lot of advice from other musicians that sometimes can lead you down wrong paths. Also I find many musicians are reluctant or incapable of explaining how they learned to play or to convey to you anything that you can take away. It is very odd really.
  17. Sometimes. It depends. You also have to find a way to practice to develop chops on your own too.
  18. This is beyond my pay grade unfortunately.
  19. I don't know what happened there but I thought I said psychedelics are generally not fun. This is what i RECALL I wrote Psychedelics are NOT fun because only those who know know. If you know you know!
  20. Look and see how someone is controlling, especially regarding what you say or believe, that is a real red flag.
  21. Unless you find experiencing the experience of death fun.
  22. People who think taking psychedelics should be fun.
