If someone screams or starts a fight on the street, people are entertained and watch. We love to listen to angry tantrums, look at the Kardashians, that whole show is nothing but drama, fights. Now what I have found to grow online is just to put up a fight, find an enemy and fight it. You want to bring, peace, love etc. people will ignore you and if you somehow clickbait them into watching they will still hate you for it, as it feels like a waste of time for them. Giving value in this society and grabbing peoples attention is by putting up a fight, just like some crazy couple would yell and fight at eachother on the street. This is all that the Kardashians do and why they are so famous, besides the bbl and rich lifestyle lol. But if it was just their bbl and rich lifestyle, they wouldn´t be so famous at most a b or c level celebrity. DRAMA is king, this is entertainment, even if it is educational content, it still is entertainment, you find an enemy and fight it. Is it conscious? Is it loving? Is it good? Can be, but what is conscious is not equal to what works in real life, if you can seperate the two, you can see that success in business or in virality comes sometimes from darkness instead of the light.

@something_else never heard of this before, sounds interesting

@LordFall sounds awesome, where do you host these?

@caspex interesting take, I never looked at it that way, I will think about it

@Ziran sure I am not against that description

I would say, I am an introvert, this means I enjoy spending time alone. Besides being introverted, I do challenge myself probably more than any introvert to go out and meet people and honestly, I don't know why extroverted people enjoy talking so much. I talk and talk and talk, I run out of energy and then I would like to either go deeper, talking about deeper stuff then "look at what that guy is wearing, he looks like superman" or some random ass conversation that leads nowhere. Not only that, I feel I am wasting energy as somehow I have found that people rarely contribute energy to a conversation, maybe it's just me, but I rarely speak to people who actively contribute energy to the conversation. It's all my energy down the drain, basically a quick way to lose energy, that is why when I decide to socialise, I take breaks in between, because I need to gain back energy and reciprocate when no one reciprocates back. That doesn't MEAN that I never have fun conversations or that there is not allot of fun to be had, surely it's funny to socialise, but also it's not really fulfilling to me, I really do it mainly for the skillset, for becoming more charismatic and to learn, then for the enjoyment of it. Also, it might be that people are more antisocial than ever, always on their phone in the club or wherever, which makes people lack basic empathy and connection, just some empty-headed chicken I am talking to, so even when I seek depth it probably isn't even there. People just use you and take from you if they can, I feel that in a more conscious society we would have more empathy and in fact I would say that during covid we have gone downwards, maybe the vaccine has activated the demon lord hahaha. The isolation let to people no longer know how to connect or something, a viral post is more important then human decency, if someone would get into a fight no one would help everyone would film and post on tiktok. Anyways enough ranting for today, I am still glad I go out there as I learn allot and now and then I meet amazing people so it is great to see that there are some rare diamonds out there. Deeper fulfillment for me is found alone not with random strangers, I rather spend a day in nature or on the beach then socialising in a club or anywhere else. Don't know where this rant is going, but I guess it's better to express yourself then to depress yourself. Enough yapping for today.

@Ziran maybe a bit exaggerated, but is it? I mean if I tell someone everything is one. Now they walk around like everything is one and they are God. BUT you also are human with many human issues like the need to survive and it using its new found ego as God, to help with survival even better. This is very small and subtle and hard to even explain, because in a sense you are still God, but also you are human and blinded by your brain that is optimized for survival. This is the number one mistake I see in spiritual teachings that create all kinds of problems, but it isn't obvious; it's quite subtle.

@Ziran it´s like science, one small mistake and the whole thing explodes

@No1Here2c you win

@No1Here2c Great, don´t be disappointed when your wallet is empty... it wasn´t me, it was Leo. Is this the password of your crypto account? lol

To assume that we are always blind and understand very little seems like the healthiest frame to come from, at least for me. I have seen many blind spots in myself and in many spiritual people and teachers. Things that may seem small, insignificant, or not worth mentioning can still lead to huge problems. It is often the small belief that seems innocent, the small thought that appears harmless and is 80% correct, that eventually harms us deeply. If we assume that we are not fully knowledgeable, that we have many blind spots because we have agendas, because we have selective focus, because we try to see only the good in what we stand for rather than being nuanced and recognizing that we might be wrong, we might be right, or we might be half wrong and half right, then we become more careful. There is no judge at the end of the day who can definitively say, “THIS IS RIGHT” or “THIS IS WRONG.” We are not in a courtroom; we are in a mysterious world with more mysteries than answers. If we cannot see the nuance, especially in our own thinking, then we become vulnerable to subtle traps, traps that even enlightened teachers can fall into. This happens no matter how advanced you are. You are still blind in many ways. You are still operating through this reptilian brain that seeks to optimize survival, and it does not hesitate to use spirituality to further its survival. In fact, spirituality can become a fantastic tool for it. The enemy is always wrong, but is that really true? If you are against Trump, is he always wrong? Of course not. There are good things Trump has done, but many people only want to see things from a black-and-white perspective. This is human nature. It is not necessarily something we can completely overcome, but rather something we should be aware of and careful with. Especially as a teacher, because power corrupts easily. Any form of power can corrupt you, and as a teacher or leader of any kind, you have a huge influence. Is that influence leading toward good or not? Many times, power leads to good outcomes for you personally, but that does not mean it leads to good outcomes holistically for everyone.

@TruthFreedom beautifully said, yes, and it´s easy to get self-conscious as well, until you start to see the humor in it.

@LastThursday exactly not being stuck in your own head and being in a flow or letting it flow out naturally without resistance towards what comes out of your mouth and how that will be recieved by others. Thank you for sharing.
