Certain things have been put into perspective and I'm feeling better. Today is a bright new day. And it seems things are going to be on my side.

.

Rant time This might sound childish and petty but just wanted to put it out there and scream. EVERY JOURNAL IS A GOOD JOURNAL. JUST RESPECT. PLEASE Leo had a reputation point system on this forum a few years back.. That system was removed because people were abusing that system here. They would give the thumbs up to their friends and people they were socializing and the person who was more socially popular on here would get maximum reputation points even if his or her views were total bullshit. This basically created an echo chamber of fools circle jerking each other till eternity. Throwing my anger and rage at whoever is reading.. People just suck..did you read it.. People just effing suck.. And now we have this thing going on in the journal section as well. Someone will come along and tell everyone here how they like their journal. And but only to few and ignore others.. Hello????? We're a family here at Actualized.org. Don't divide us here as you would do in real life. If you wanna be truly spiritual and conscious then learn how to accept everyone or else whatever you do is all bogus. There is no growth in that. I will tell to all journal writers here. You are all doing a great job. Nobody is better or worse. Nobody is greater or lesser. This is not a competition of writing. Journals are meant to express our feelings and emotions and our journeys and records. They are not for impressing people. They are an honest account of what a person feels like penning down So stop making it seem like some competition of writers where some are better than others. It honestly sucks when you do that. People are just ridiculous. Everything has to be about who is better than who. Really? If you don't like a journal don't read it. Simple. But don't create a subliminal reputation system here. There is no need for favouritism. It's just a journal, geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez. Every journal is a good journal here. When you give a flower, give it to everyone. When you arrange a party, invite everyone. When you give a rose, give it to everyone. So in your spiritual practice, do you offer blessings to some people and not to others????! When you call for healing of the world, do you only want a few people to be healed??? How messed up is that. Why play this game of pitting one against another. That's why I said humanity sucks. Because people never stop discriminating. People never stop putting someone up and putting someone down. They always have to create a clique, a mutual admiration society, where one is licking another's ass. A bunch of chimps beating their chest and thumping their chimpery. This is what Leo was fed up with and he finally removed the reputation point system. Just a way of making another person feel isolated and bad. Hello, we are a family. Don't target others. Nobody is special here. Nobody is better or worse, more wanted, less wanted. Everyone is effing equal and everyone is loved. Learn to appreciate every journal that you come across. Learn to appreciate every member on the forum. Or else don't bring your negativity. That doesn't help creating walls between people, pitting one against another. I have witnessed this bullshit on this forum since I have been here from day One. Done ranting.

You shouldn't really think too much of it.

@DrewNows that's awesome. You must have got many looks. .

I was thinking about life as a stage.. Not the stage found in theater. But a stage at which the mind stays still and calm and proceeds in equilibrium. I will call this stage Omnia Altiorem.

Simplified theory of things - I will file this concept under Voynich Manuscript

The labels are now ready.

I remember Black Dahlia and she is special to me This file photo is from Wikipedia archives of Black Dahlia. She looks very beautiful. I will dedicate some of my concepts to her name and make her name a label for my few concepts. A tribute from me to this slain beauty.

OTM Optimal time management Many years ago in 2015 I had started writing a diary and created a concept called Optimal Time Management or OTM. I had added a lot of useful concepts under it that I derived through a lot of patient thinking and trial and error in my daily life. Some of those experiments worked whereas some of the techniques failed. This was all before joining Actualized.org. I was very consumed in those days with productivity and time management. I was very competitive back then. But life happened. Relationships happened. Time flew by...... I lost my energy and zest for life. I never looked back at the diary again. Today when I flipped through the diary and saw the year marked 2015 on my entry, it once again reminded me of the time management system I had created. I had called it OTM. In this journal I will try to reflect on the scribblings of my diary and rewrite those concepts that were lost in time.. Certain levels with whatever you do. Primary Threshold Balance Stress threshold Toxic cutoff I think any habit is both good and bad. Even addiction. For example you could say watching Television is an addiction if you did too much. But how much is too much. To understand the nature of habits and addiction I have created a system of concepts. These concepts will help me understand how habits work and how to control and regulate them to avoid toxic behavior around habits and addictions. This system is as follows Under - growth This is the stage where your activity is so low that it can be effectively be called zero or "under" For example if you drank 1 cup of coffee in 1 month or 2 months or watched TV once in a month for 10 minutes. I will call this " Under" You are an "under consumer" This is the Red zone. Primary Threshold This is the stage where you have reasonably engaged in an activity to call it more than "Under" Example.. If you watched TV for 1 hour per day for 4 days a week throughout the month. I will say you have crossed the limit of "under". Now you are an average user or "average consumer" I will call this the green zone.. This is the zone where things haven't been figured out properly. Balance This is where your habit or addiction is fairly in balance. For example you have been watching TV for healthy reasons like watching health or inspirational shows that helps you gain more knowledge and information and is beneficial for your overall growth. You are watching a variety of shows and you do it by properly optimising your time and not giving up essential actions in lieu of these habits, then you have reached the balance level or threshold for such a habit.. In this stage or level you not only consider the nature of this habit, it's frequency, the amount time invested but also the quality of how this time invested. The qualitative aspects involving the beneficial aspects of the time you spend on this habit. This stage is a stage of balance and growth and integration where this habit will not degrade you over time but will serve to upgrade you. I will call this the yellow zone. Stress threshold This is a negative zone.. This is where you steer into a level of addiction and maladaptive function. Here you are obsessively engaged with the habit such that it creates a Grey zone. For example. If you're compulsively watching TV where you feel good initially because it's acting like a dopamine feed. You can't get enough of dopamine at this point. I will call it the Grey zone because here things are still muddy and you don't begin to see warning signs right away. You are blindly ignoring the effects and simply enjoying the habit or addiction. You think it's good as long as you don't see the danger ahead. Toxic cutoff This is the last stage. I will call it the Purple zone.. Here things begin to rapidly decline. A chain reaction is set off And your body begins to warn you about the dangers of your habits and addictions. You suffer insomnia because of the TV addiction. You suffer obesity because of the food addiction or you suffer symptoms of exhaustion and lethargy and burnout arising from the stress of engaging in that habit. At this point anything good that you are getting from that habit for example a high, entertainment or feel good hormones are all outweighed by the negative side effects of that habit. You are in dangerous terrain in this zone. Your health could easily take a turn for the worse if you don't control your habit or steer it in a positive direction. This is the cutoff stage. Here you must stop and revert back your habit or you're solely responsible for the consequences ahead. Simplified theory of things - I will call this. Wait. All of life is a stage.... Oh wait. What stage am I talking about.. Well that will come next.

My cat's name is Chikku. Hope everything is going well there for you. Prayers and Blessings!

And another one is Deadwood Trees. I wanted blackwood hall but that would be too generic.

Another label name that I got is.... Colocasia stems. Nice black magic colocasia leaf Saw this picture on the web of a black colocasia leaf for the first time. Nice cute little dewdrop.

Today is a tiring day. And I'm not in a good mood at all.

Finally I can be at peace with myself. I can feel good.

Andrew just finished telling me that the moon landing was fake. Hmm. Time to wrap him in a box and send him to space.

Yep. I just sent you the message. I hope you received

@DrewNows you can message me. Sorry for the inconvenience. I had forgotten to turn my messenger on.

@DrewNows yep. Turning it on right away.
