  1. Aesthetic value also seems to connect with symbolic understanding, to understand that something represents what its not is huge in any form of art, which is why someone can look at abstract art and love it while another dude will say “its just a banana, whats the point?”.
  2. Amy Schumer herself was the joke so she will never notice.
  3. That does make sense. Maybe Im just a stickler.
  4. Not to gatekeep but I would focus on the Koshas instead, these other add-ons come from Theosophy which is a Western system and might confuse rather than enlighten.
  5. What if human stupidity is just the universes covert intelligence at play.
  6. Oh come on don’t be so humble, you’ve been speaking professionally for like 12 years now. Your voice is top notch.
  7. So much wrong here my brain just short-circuited reading it.
  8. Depends on what type of wild animal it is, a snake in a cage might be easier to handle than a hungry lion, just saying. Or maybe this whole thing is a metaphor for being stuck with the egoic mind idk.
  9. *wheezing gif*
  10. That type of humor is boring for a reason, because its not inherently creative, try making a joke about something that noone has made before, now thats hard.
  11. Connotation in creative writing is more or less about how associative the sentence youre writing is. The stronger you can connote the more load-bearing the sentence will be, however the caveat is if you stack too many associations at once you might lose the listener/reader. Which is why certain sentences should be less associative. Levels of Connotation Level 1 : neutral “A Situation in the city” Level 2 : “Christmas in the city” Level 3 : “Christmas in NYC” Level 4 : “Christmas in NYC, 2005” Level 5: “I hate Christmas, it reminds me of NYC in 2005” — notice that more connotative our word is the more interconnections your mind can make much easier, Christmas is just one example, you can think of any word with strong connotation, it doesnt even have to be a noun.
  12. In this journal I will share what I have learned and what I am learning about creative writing, I am not an author, I write poetry and music, but I do love deconstructing writing and prose. Hopefully you can learn something too, or maybe I can learn something from you, feel free to comment all you want, no restrictions.
  13. History is just new people making old mistakes. - Sigmund Freud
  14. I call this the Ontological Firewall, proud of that concept, it basically means that the information can be correct but the ontology is skewed, so even if youre precise with your tone and wording the recipient can be so ontologically different it sounds like nonsense.
  15. More than you know, but its not God lol. More akin to a new level of the noosphere.
  16. more like a collective hivemind of yapping
  17. Theres no ”good” hobby, even self-actualizers one day become wormfood dont they, just enjoy life.
  18. The negative health aspects of alcohol are so bad that there isnt a single organ that doesnt take tremendous damage over the course of your life, when youre 20 its easy to be happy go lucky because your body is a system in its early strongest phase, but when youre older youre gonna feel it.
  19. Ah! Alcohol , the queen of delusion, glad shes not in my life anymore.
  20. Well if the light is at the top and light is consciousness then probably somewhere at the bottom where the dogs piss.
  21. Im beginning to hate the word consciousness, Im just gonna throw it out the window and hope it hits a lightpole.
  22. Higher consciousness is just more meta-reflection ability, its not a dick-measuring contest. To be more conscious is to be present and aware of unconscious thoughts and actions. Sit down for 2 hours and reflect on where youre being an a-hole, 2 hours youll be more conscious of being an a-hole, tada!
