Nah, its more nuanced. What would you say the I-feeling consists of? I like these types of explorations. I have never really gone there, to me its mental imagery, the feeling of the body belonging to me, thoughts etc.

I never said there was no I-feeling, I said you are aware of the I-feeling. Slow your roll duderinoo.

So? The feeling of taking a shit exists too, doesnt mean you are that at your very essence.

Youre not a feeling. Youre aware of feelings.

Go to the psychward, you can probably be prescribed an anti-psychotic or something. If you kill yourself you dont know what kind of fucked up alternate reality you might end up in. I believe your problem has a solution here on earth.

This question usually takes years to answer. If I told you yes you would try to find the "I" so I will say yes which will lead you on a hunt to eventually find out the answer is no.

I do this too. Im in Uni with very few in-place lectures and I get up at like 11 o clock, Im such a sloth lmao.

Its kind of like asking "can we create a reality from scratch?" No not really because reality itself would be encompassing that reality... Its a mindfuck.

Zen at its core.

First tell me in your direct experience what it is, what it looks like. Then I will tell you if its possible to create it.

Its important to feel good in your clothing, dont wear a suit if its not you, but also you cant wear whatever you like because you have to work within the existing social matrix. If you can combine authenticity with social matrix youre home. Clothing is the first thing someone criticizes before you have even said a word.

This is what imagine Love awakening is like...

Of course, Im just talking about the foundational level, you dont have to be dressed like a peacock to impress a girl, you just need to not look like you just stepped out of the basement with your cargo shorts on.

Style its not something you can learn intellectually, you have to be intuitively good at seeing symmetry, simplicity and color balance. A lack of these usually makes someone not stylish, of course there will be exceptions though.

@Carl-Richard @omar30 Probably because Islam totally dominated the Middle-East from year 600 onward. Not much space for other religions to grow unless they want their heads chopped off. 750 AD map.

Let go or be dragged.

Christianity was very mainstream and used to create the society we live in today during the Viking Ages. It softened the warring tribes of Europe under an authority like God and the king. So it was more of a moral system rather than real spirituality, sure you might have had some mystics but those mystics were frowned upon as heathens and dangerous. In the East I think religion was more of a hidden away thing were you could go away into a Buddhist monastery if you felt like letting go of life. The teachings most likely stayed inside those monasteries and hence werent messed with that much and stayed fairly pure to the original intent of spirituality. Alot of Buddhism even require initiation rites and was hard to get into while Christianity was forced upon everyone. Just an idea, I have no fucking clue really.

The problem is trying to draw a line. Stop trying to conceptualize it and instead and feel yourself bullshitting. I swear its much more helpful, the body knows before the mind does. There is no strict category because it all depends on your personal experience and what you want to achieve.

A show about Nothing(ness)

Hence why stage Green can be very attracted to that kind of stuff. Just look at an old-school rave, its just Purple 2.0.

This is just a post looking at Stage Green values, I dont neccessarily agree with everything I post here.

@louhad Another thing you might want to look into is Piagets developmental model. Beige aligns well with the Sensorimotor stage while Purple aligns well with the Preoperational (Symbolic) stage.

Thats a fair point. I agree. I guess I meant more like how you viewed the world, everything was magical or scary and very simplistic. You didnt know or care about the larger issues of society because you couldnt conceptualize them, its like you lived in a different reality. Theres a reason alot of people look back at early childhood as magical, it literally was!
