  1. @nistake If you want to be a great 3D artist you should study traditional art. Anatomy, sculpture, drawing, color theory, composition, etc. The most impressive thing Art Directors look for when hiring 3D artists is whether they have that traditional artistic knowledge. Since that is hardest to teach. They care less about your technical software skills. Although of course technical software skills are important to develop your portfolio. But what you should really highlight is your understanding of traditional art, anatomy, and form. If you can demonstrate a solid classical understanding of art, you shouldn't have a problem getting hired and even trained on the job in new software. Be a good artist first, and a 3D artist second. Because good art is the foundation for good 3D art. When you try to pitch yourself to employers, don't lead with your technical skills, lead with your fundamental mastery of your craft, whether that be art, programming, design, business, or whatever. Demonstrate that you have a solid understanding of the fundamentals of your sub-field. Demonstrate mastery and excellent grasp of your sub-field. Then your technical skills are the cherry on top.
  2. @susanyzm Consciousness is the original red pill, before that term was co-opted by online devils.
  3. Again, this assumes too much. You assume a perfect correlation between surrender and consciousness, which just isn't the case. There is some correlation in general, but it's far from perfect. You can be in a state of zero self/ego, but still not be infinitely conscious. A rock has no self/ego. It is fully surrendered. But it is not very conscious at tall. You guys keep conflating all these different facets and dimensions of consciousness, and that's because you haven't deeply explored all the various states that consciousness can take on. Hence your view of consciousness is very one-dimensional. It's sort of like the difference between someone who's lived in one country his whole life vs someone who's traveled the world. If you ask the one-country guy about how the world is, he will give you a very narrow picture based on his little corner of the world which he has assumed is the same everywhere else. If you ask the word-traveler, he will regale you weird tails of alien and unbelievable cultures that will hardly make any sense because you had to be there to understand it. Teachings like Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta make consciousness seem very one-dimensional. Because that's all you get through meditation and self-inquiry. You can't shift your consciousness significantly enough via those methods. Hence you end up confusing the limits of those methods with the limits of consciousness itself. Which is a great delusion.
  4. If you want the truly ultimate stage, it is an Infinite Singularity of Consciousness/Love that increases endlessly without end, forever. It is a ONENESS so complete that the entire universe is extinguished forever into a infinite field of pure indifference. The final stage is simply: INFINITY/LOVE
  5. No Consciousness expands and contracts. You mistakenly give power of the contraction to ego vs consciousness. Consciousness has all the power, not the ego. Consciousness contracts to create ego, not the other way around. The power to awaken or to forget is that of Consciousness alone. Yes, but only if you are conscious of it. You can also have a present moment which is not fully conscious. No, not necessarily. Surrender doesn't mean infinite consciousness. Sure, but this is over-simplified. Far too reductionistic and one-dimensional. Consciousness is way more multi-dimensional than that. No, I am speaking from the POV of Truth. From the POV of Truth it makes no difference how long a thing lasts. A lightening bolt is as true is as the moon. Ironically it is the ego-mind which gives higher value to permanent things than to temporary ones. Of course the ego would love to live in a constantly high state. But that is irrelevant from the POV of Truth. Obviously expanding one's consciousness makes one feel more powerful, since Power = Infinite Consciousness. This is not a problem, it's a feature of God. I do not seek higher consciousness to gain more power. I seek higher consciousness for its own sake, and any power that comes from that pursuit is merely a happy side-effect. Again, this is to grossly oversimplify things. God is Consciousness and it desires to be conscious of itself. You can call it a "game" if you want, but it's the only game in town and this "game" is what God IS. Trying to dissuade God from playing this game is foolish since there's nothing better to do and it amounts to self-denial. God denying God in the name of God. Wrong. Ego is not always the case. There are states of consciousness with absolutely zero ego. Whether it is realistic or practical to live from such a place is irrelevant from the POV of Truth and Consciousness. But notice, although you speak of not playing the game, here you are still playing the game. If you were truly infinitely conscious you would not be here in human form. The very fact that you are in a human form is proof that you are not willing to surrender the playing of the game. You are merely pretending to not be playing the game when you are fully involved in it. And the reason you're doing this is because you are not infinitely consciousness. You're stuck in lower consciousness while telling yourself you've "arrived", that you're "done". Well, you're kidding yourself. Yes, God of course. But here's the point: You don't understand what God is until you've actually been infinitely conscious. For God to know itself it must explore itself by expanding its consciousness. God must explore the low and high. What I'm talking about has nothing to do with controlling or manipulating reality or being "free". All that is irrelevant to consciousness. I am talking about pure consciousness for its own sake. How conscious is God of what God is? Yes, but you are not fully conscious of what consciousness is or can do. A rock is consciousness/God, but it is not infinitely conscious of itself as that. Neither is a human. You can be a rock if you want. A rock is surrendered and liberated. But it ain't conscious of much. To me this work is not about becoming a rock. But it seems that's what you want to make this work into. Well, enjoy being a rock. But don't expect me to join you in that. I got slightly higher aims
  6. That's nationalism for ya in a nutshell. Ironic how today's Israelis behave like Nazis. People get lost in the content differences while not seeing the structural similarities. The problem with Nazis was not their content but their structure.
  7. @Harikrishnan I am still experimenting with different types of zeolite to find which is most effective. Too early to tell yet, but I'm optimistic. I take it without anything on most days, but also with DMSA + ALA when I am detoxing specifically.
  8. You don't need to be programmer to do game dev. There are many other roles: Producer Designer Level design Art Audio PR/marketing/sales The way to break into games is simple: you work on your own little projects, building up skills, and developing a solid, polished portfolio which you then show off to employers. Attending game's conferences like GDC and networking with your portfolio in-hand can open many doors. Starting game design is easier than ever today thanks to powerful and cheap tools like Unity, Unreal, or many of the modding toolkits like that of Skyrim, Fallout, or other games. One of the easiest ways to get hired is to create a solid and popular mod for a popular game like Fallout/Skyrim. As new games are released, start modding them and posting your work for fans to give you feedback and reviews. Designing board games or pen and paper games is also a good way to build up your design skills. Basically, as long as you have the skills and can demonstrate them, you will get hired. The trick is developing the skills. This requires some years of committed work and a plan. I could write an entire course on how to become a top notch game designer and get hired by the best studios.
  9. @PenguinPablo You have to do some serious limiting-belief busting. There's no way forward in life so long as your mind is full of those recirculating toxic beliefs. I had to do a lot of busting of my limiting beliefs when I was starting out in this work. The problem is, your potential in life is so monstrously huge that your mind will not believe it is real. It sounds too much like a pipe dream. The mind needs to be whipped into opening itself.

  11. Heavy metal toxicity You can try doing detox After detox I went from sleeping 9 hours and feeling tired to sleeping 6.5-7 hours and feeling energetic. It can make a huge difference.
  12. That's what happens when you start to self-actualize. You see more and more how much time and potential you squandered by doing other useless shit like a monkey. That deep regret is a sign of you becoming more conscious. Most people are so asleep they never even know what they missed. They live and die in blissful ignorance.
  13. It would certainly be possible to start a YT channel focused exclusively on that, and it would probably be very popular if done well. You could call it Failure To Launch
  14. It's gonna be very tough to fine client unless you have connections within the self-help industry. That can be a long-term goal of yours, but I don't see how it will be immediately viable because people who need self-help websites is very narrow and specialized. How you gonna find such people. You need a lead-building strategy for that to work. If you want to niche in web development, I would look for a niche which is lucrative and has lots of demand. Like e-commerce or the like. This way you can bootstrap your biz. Later you can try to transition it to self-help if that's your jazz.
  15. Buy fire insurance and run out the house. You can't stop a giant fire if it's coming for ya.
  16. Zeolite is crazy effective at soaking up heavy metals.
  17. I don't need any human interfering with my inner work. It's like giving up the intimacy of sex to have sex in the parking lot with 20 people watching and giving commentary. No thanks.
  18. @PeaceOut96 Very nice! That's a proper trip. You'll discover more if you keep tripping.
  19. White woman built her entire life around pretending she was black/brown:
  20. From what I have found, DMSA + ALA + zeolite is the best and most proven combo. Cilantro, chlorela, and spirulina are also said to be good, but probably not as powerful as the above.
