I need to take health issues seriously.

I'm Captain Silvers.

You need to define what that high state of consciousness for you is.

What almost no gurus, teachers, teachings, or schools talk about is how to select a valid and good school out of the giant ceasepool of teachings that exist within the larger spiritual marketplace. Virtually nobody talks about the pros and cons of various schools honestly. They all try to sell you on their method, while badmouthing and discounting all the others. Even modern teachers and enlightened masters, who are generally secular and openminded, tend to overlook this point. Because from their perspective they already know what they're teaching you is the truth. But from your perspective, you don't know that! This is a very important point. You can't trust anyone in this business if you want to avoid getting screwed. So you have to stick to a valid epistemic strategy.

That's interesting.

Close your eyes and breathe in. Imagine your ceiling is made of skylights so you can see the entire constellations above you. Let your room be made of glass so it fills with the silvery light of the moon. Breathe in again and let the night sky wash over you as your body relaxes even more.

A random list of books I want to read - Man’s Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl. Atomic Habits by James Clear. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey. The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris. How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. What to Say When You Talk to Your Self by Dr. Shad Helmstetter.

If you are scrolling through social media, you can ask yourself if this is good for your well being on a meta level. It gives you instant gratification but going meta you realize it's not beneficial.

He hasn't been very successful lately. He gets confused and makes poor choices like the doge thing. I doubt if this would be a successful enterprise of his. It might eventually collapse if he makes poor decisions or turns into another gimmick. At this point MAGA won't trust him so he lost already.

The dental appointment went well.

Another dental appointment in the process.

By sugary drink I meant junk food, playing video games all day and all kinds of addictions like smoking, drinking beer etc. You took it the wrong way. Those parts of the normie lifestyle are pure poison and they are usually abandoned on a spiritual path.

Knowing that the universe around you has a greater impact if you are willing to put the effort to align with it.

I see a democratic win in 2026. Gavin Newsom is a good candidate. The Democratic party now hinges on good candidates who aren't fluff.

You can watch youtube ad free. Problem solved. And regarding the algorithm, it depends on or aligns with what you have already been watching. I didn't find it disruptive.

(self referential notes) Dear OceanicBlizzard - OceanicWorm/BlizzardWorm. Let yourself land. The day is done. It is time to rest. Breathe deeply and feel your focus shifting to rejuvenation. The more relaxation you let in, the more nourished you will be tomorrow. The Sufi poet Rumi wrote: Moonlight floods the whole sky From horizon to horizon; How much it can fill your rooms Depends on its windows. Close your eyes and breathe in. Imagine your ceiling is made of skylights so you can see the entire constellations above you. Let your room be made of glass so it fills with the silvery light of the moon. Breathe in again and let the night sky wash over you as your body relaxes even more. You are a traveller on this fabulous landscape. You have many vistas ahead of you. And with each journey, you are forming habits that will help you on the next. When you wake, alter just one thing in your environment that will help nudge you towards your desired behaviors. You choose what that is. Your goal is actually to make your actions easier, not harder. If ever a step feels too much to take, break it in half. And if that feels too much,break it in half again. Long lasting change comes from tiny steps, repeated regularly over time. Your path will unfurl before you, always waiting for that next little step. And in between each, remember to give yourself credit for every single effort you are making. The entire night sky is offering you rest right now. Widen your windows and let self-compassion and kindness in. July3

@samijiben Some people are wired to be mentally tougher than others. They might reserve crying for a more serious experience. They might even look down on crying causing blockages. Either you're hard wired to not cry easily as others or you have perspective related blockages about crying. As long as you connect with an experience and understand, integrate and absorb it, it doesn't matter either way you cry or not.

What's so difficult about the physical world? Meeting the wrong kind of people? You could be in nature if you want.

I wish I could find a bunch of videos of Ralston on YouTube like Matt Kahn. Otherwise all is good.

Have you ever seen an overgrown plant with its branches growing wild? Here in the world of fabulous, the reason you begin with just one habit is to fortify your center first. Thicken your trunk to build the strongest foundation possible. After solidifying one habit, you do not suddenly branch out in dozens. No. You choose only one more to add. Nourish it. Be patient, no matter how long it takes. You are choosing the direction of how you will grow. You are sculpting the limbs of your tree. And it is beautiful.

Missed out on some.

I don't find certain conversations rewarding enough.
