No, Actualized.org is like "huehue stupid gymheads". The ones why buy RPs products, advertised by "what happens when PhD exercise scientists collaborate with top atlethes? — the best hypertrophy app ever made" (paraphrasing), those people care.

When most people think of recontextualization, they usually think of taking a literal concrete thing and keeping it virtually unchanged and then placing it in a new context. You're taking either general ideas or concrete things that have been altered from their usual form and use them in new ways. It's more like creativity than recontextualization.

1 week plus or minus a few days, depends on how young you are and levels of restfulness. Longer than that and you'll start to transmutate and testosterone drops, you might get sleeping problems, physical tightness, restlessness or other instability. If you transmute well, it's good for spiritual energy, but in that case, for the sake of health, one month is probably perfect.

You need some zinccc.

It's a much larger issue of the standing of academic credentials as a sign of authority.

It's a belief. Let it go. When you recognize it's a belief, here are some alternatives:

Then make a thread criticizing confusing the map and the territory and not Buddhism.

@Yimpa I feel like half of what you post is not recontextualization.

All your posts are the same 🙄 "Truth, x is better than y, Buddhism sux". And such dichotomous thinking will eventually lead to contradictions: Rather than asking "What is better: meditation or contemplation?", ask "What is meditation useful for?", "What is contemplation useful for?" "At what times is each more useful?"

I'm becoming more Christian by the minute.

My god.

Stick.

You'd rate the most consumed burger in McDonalds.

You absolute degenerate coomer-brained individual 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Who the hell are you talking about?

Being aware, as in being awareness. Being aware as in a subject perceiving an object, no. What you're doing is assuming a definition and then post-hoc trying to explain it using logic, but the logic actually doesn't do anything because you just assumed the definition without any logic. You're ironically being entirely illogical in what you're doing.

Barf me out, gag me with a spoon.

Quote a Buddhist Goggins quote.

Untruth needs no tradition.

What if I say consciousness is all those things? How can you stop me?

The logic of anything relies on concepts and their relationship. The labels you use to describe the concepts are completely arbitrary.

Does using a 7-letter word to refer to a concept instead of a 9-letter word change the underlying logical structure?

1. Try to be truthful. 2. Don't try to be humorous, learn to just be. Socializing is just about being together. That's the truth about socializing. Humor falls out if it naturally at some points. But it's ok to just socialize and not be humorous. Humor is a happy surprise. Forcing humor can be one of the least humorous things you can do. People also like when you say insightful things and being deep. But that doesn't always happen either, and forcing that might make you come off like a jackass. Forcing what isn't there, that's a general trap. Forcing what isn't there, is to not be truthful.

So you're able to concede to for example @Someone here defining consciousness as "everything" in one case, but also defining consciousness as "perception" in another? Generally you're able to use the word "consciousness" differently depending on the discussion you're having?
